PEX pipe is becoming the primary water supply pipe in most homes and many businesses, not just in north Texas but nationwide. Its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages when it comes to the other code-compliant products. It, too, comes in long rolls, allowing one continuous line from the meter to the main water shut-off. That means no fittings or weak points. The PEX product is incredibly durable and resilient yet flexible. The biggest issue from a plumber’s standpoint is that in the unlikely event there is a leak, we cannot easily trace and mark the line. That’s because PEX is a plastic material. Checking for leaks in this way creates considerable difficulty and requires being very creative. When properly installed using the right tools, equipment, fittings, and crimp rings, PEX pipe has more advantages and fewer limitations. More specifically, we use high-quality barbed brass fittings, shut-offs, and Apollo “Copper Pro” crimp rings. You will never find an inferior Sharkbite “push to connect” fitting OR “clamp ring” on any of our trucks.
