steve. just a crazy thought. why couldnt you use pex with sharkbite fittings. they use a type of pex in hydronic heating under floors.
it is easy to work with and the sharkbite fittings are amazing and reusable. you can even use copper with the shark bites.
just a thought. that is what i did the replumbing of my water bay with when i put a different pump and valve in.
you should at least check into it. be much easier than all the things you are talking about. be more expensive for the fittings, but no clamps.
you can put copper on one end of the fitting and pex on the other. if you dont like it, you just use the little removal tool and take it apart.
