Why Choose PEX Plumbing Systems
Aug 30, 2022

PEX tubing was previously used in the solar and automotive industries and have now found a unique application in the plumbing industry – replacing copper pipe systems in homes.
With correct installation, PEX tubing and fittings can create a different plumbing experience. Some of the reasons why PEX tubing is the new favorite:
PEX tubing can reduce 63% of the construction cost over its life cycle compared to copper pipe.
It also proves to be very environmentally friendly as it significantly reduces CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions by 42%.
PEX tubing is made from a versatile yet unique material called cross-linked polyethylene (plastic). Cross-linkage in the polyethylene makes the pipe sustain a static electric field within the tubing, giving it resilience and thermal memory. It also retains its shape wherever you bend it.
The elasticity and flexibility of PEX tubing makes it easy to install in any space, and differ from conventional PVC pipes and other leading plastics used for plumbing.
PEX tubing uses fixed joints and are less likely to burst due to pressure or temperature change. Consequently, they require fewer joints and fittings, making them less labor-intensive.
