My two cents: I learned how to work with PEX after we bought our current house here in Florida. Previously, I spent a lot of time doing all things copper in all the other places I’ve lived. I put off learning plastics because I remembered when they had so many problems with bursting plastic pipes in the 70’s & 80’s. I read up on PEX and learned how long it lasts (up to 50 years) and how the acidic water here in Florida corrodes copper pipes in 7 to 8 years. I have to say, I love the stuff. It is easy work with, flexible and very forgiving on measurements compared to copper. Jobs go much more quickly. Cutting, trimming, & joining (all you need is a knife and a crimping tool) -— no sweating joints in difficult to reach places where you have to worry about burning your house down. Great stuff!
and they come in red and blue for the hot water and cold water
Totally agree...!!
