    Anyone have experience with PEX plumbing and fittings in water baseboard heaters?

    I think one of my baseboards has a slow leak and is damaging my basement floor.

    I cranked the heat on but didn't see any visible leaks. Wonder if it's only doing it occasionally?

      @javensbukan I’ve had pex for our water lines for 20 years or so and never had any leaks. If there was a leak it would likely be a crimping issue but that would show up right after install. Given you aren’t seeing a leak and it’s tied to the heater I wonder if it’s condensation?
