Replacing metal water lines with PEX is a great way to update your plumbing system. PEX tubing is made of high density polyethylene tubes that are strong, flexible, chlorine and scale resistant, and don’t corrode or develop pinholes.
PEX tubing is quicker and easier to install than metal piping because they don’t need as many directional connections and fittings. This helps you save on labour costs for installation. The flexibility of PEX pipes also makes them able to handle the freeze-thaw cycle better than traditional piping.
Ask your plumber about PEX piping if you are looking to have any water lines replaced.
