Pex
  • PEX is one of the most versatile, easy-to-use plumbing systems available:
  • PEX pipe is suitable for use with hot or cold water. With the proper adapters, PEX pipe can be used with steel, copper, PVC and CPVC plumbing pipe.
  • PEX is the most flexible plumbing pipe available. It can be bent around most corners without a coupling or fitting. For example, 3/8" pipe may be bent to a 4" radius and 1/2" pipe to a 5" radius.
  • Most plumbing leaks and system failures occur at joints in fittings. Since PEX requires fewer fittings, it has less opportunity to leak and installs faster.
  • PEX flexibility also allows it to expand and contract more than other types of pipe. Increased capacity for expansion makes PEX more burst resistant.
  • Complete, easy to use repair kits are available for all PEX systems.
    Much like a circuit breaker for your plumbing system, PEX systems have a shut-off valve at each supply line. Having a shut off at each line allows the repair person to leave the rest of the system operational while working on one line.
