In my years of plumbing consulting, I’ve seen countless copper pipes reduced to mere trickles by severe scale buildup, while PEX systems from the same era maintained nearly full flow capacity. One particular apartment complex we serviced had to replace all their copper lines after just 12 years due to scale restrictions, while the PEX […]
During a recent plumbing retrofit in a historic home with limited access spaces, I watched as installers easily snaked PEX tubing through existing walls while struggling with rigid CPVC sections. This practical demonstration highlighted the fundamental flexibility differences between these materials and their real-world implications. PEX’s superior flexibility stems from its cross-linked polyethylene molecular structure,
During a municipal water system upgrade, I witnessed firsthand how PEX pipes successfully withstood pressure surges that would have damaged traditional copper systems. This experience demonstrated PEX’s remarkable capability to handle high-pressure applications when properly selected and installed. Yes, PEX pipes reliably handle high water pressure up to 160 PSI at 73°F, with some specialized
During a tight-deadline apartment renovation, I discovered the efficiency of PEX press fittings when we completed the plumbing system 40% faster than traditional methods. The reliability of these connections was proven when the system passed pressure testing on the first attempt without a single leak. PEX press fittings create reliable connections through a specialized pressing
