Yes, you can use PEX pipe for hot and cold water. It is designed to withstand temperatures up to 200°F, making it safe for both hot and cold applications. Here are a few advantages of using PEX pipe:
• Durable – the polyethylene construction makes it resistant to corrosion or damage from freezing water.
• Flexible – its flexibility allows for easier installation in tight areas compared with rigid materials like copper or PVC pipes.
• Cost-effective – PEX piping is cheaper than other materials and requires fewer fittings due to its flexible nature.
It also has excellent insulation properties that allow it to maintain even temperature throughout your home’s plumbing system while reducing energy costs.
