PSA for anyone running new plumbing in their home: These nail-in joist hangers for PEX water pipe are for crap. My house is less than 10 years old and I've already had 3 of them break, and some near junctions which is extra bad.

Today I installed the type you see on the right throughout the main run through the house, whether there was a broken nail-in hanger there or not. Still plastic, but the force is much better distributed. Plus, it gave me an opportunity to use the impact driver!

I considered the ones made for copper pipe, but I couldn't find them with the rubber cushion. So I went with something specifically endorsed for use with PEX.
