More Plumbing

I secured the cold water lines to the ceiling with cable ties.  The PEX hose is not flexible so it took more ties than I wanted.  I will need two more packages to finish off the hot water lines.

I picked up adapters to mate up the head discharge hoses.  I am modifying the head intake fittings to eliminate a 90 degree bend--That needs a torch and a vise to remove the old part.

The two manifolds for hot and cold water are installed.  I still need to shorten and connect the various lines.  This should go fast, but I'll need to secure the hoses to the hull first.

I have an adapter to mate up to the deck shower, but have not yet tested it to see if it will fit.  Once that is done, I can add pigtails to feed it and connect to the PEX serving that area. 

While I am getting close, step by step, it is a tedious process finding the parts I need.  For example I need to connect the sink drain and I can't find a part to connect to the large diameter sink drain.  I found a replacement part, but it is all plastic and I know it will fail or get scratched up quickly.  I'd rather make my stainless part mate up to something.
