Robert · Answer

PEX is similar to all the other branded plastic pipe that's out there. All designed to make a job easier and cheaper. But small jobs in plastic do cost more because of the cost of the fitting compared to copper soldered ones.

Jeffrey · Answer

PEX Pipe is a multilayer pipe made from high-density polyethylene which is durable and flexible when used and can bend at a 90-degree angle. This type of piping is commonly used for domestic & commercial hot and cold water installations. It has a lot of benefits over other types of more rigid piping - it is easy to install due to its flexibility, has fewer connections and fittings and its features include a good thermal resistance to freezing conditions. Also, due to its non-corrosive properties it is resistant to scale and chlorine build-up which is common with copper.
