Common PEX Pipe Lengths

One of the most unique aspects of PEX pipe and tubing that distinguishes it from galvanized and copper pipe is that it can be purchased in extremely long sections. Coils of PEX tubing in lengths that range from 100 feet up to 500 feet can be purchased at most home centers. The purpose of such long sections is to help service manifold-based plumbing systems, which run multiple supply lines from a single point (the manifold).

Shorter straight lengths of PEX pipe are commonly found in sections ranging from 4 feet long to 10 feet long. These lengths are easier for do-it-yourselfers to manage.
