Anyone know if builders typically cover the cost of diverter valves and unions or if we should expect to pay for those?

Great! Thanks for the info.

Okay, thanks for all of your help with the package review and equipment selection. We'll be meeting with our chosen PB later this week or early next and I want to make sure I have all my questions/requirements lined up for the contract. Here's what I've got so far: Make sure all equipment is...

Gotcha, thank you. I'll dig in a bit more. Really appreciate all the help for this newbie. Since joining I've been trying to use all the amazing resources here, but really happy to have the advice of the members as well!
