Residential construction Fort Worth, TX Hargis Plumbing Viega FostaPEX Potable water
On the plateau overlooking Eagle Mountain Lake sits a contemporary home designed with efficiency in mind. Created by award-winning Architect Norman Ward, the home’s potable water runs through Viega FostaPEX, which was specified by Ward himself and installed by Hargis Plumbing in Fort Worth, Texas. The Eagle Mountain job was the first time owner Eddie Hargis had used Viega FostaPEX, but today that’s all he uses in addition to copper.

“We use this under the slab and you can make a nice looking manifold because it holds its shape," Hargis said. “If you were using another product it would be difficult to bend it and keep its shape and still make it stable.” For the Eagle Mountain home, Hargis used Viega FostaPEX with Viega PEX Press 90° elbows in ¾" and ½" bronze and was satisfied with the look and quality of the finished project.
