PEX History and Advantages
We know polyethylene as PEX (PE: polyethylene X: Cross linking). It was discovered about 50 years ago. PEX has been used for many parts in the plumbing industry including piping. Manufacturing this plastic involves irreversibly linking together the molecules making it stable at various temperatures and pressures.
This flexible piping solution to easily retrofit or install new plumbing throughout our homes. These PEX pipes now need unique connections which are known as PEX fittings. Another advantage of the PEX system is that the fittings are mechanical. Mechanical fittings tend to make installation quicker which reduces labor costs.
