PEX Repipes

PEX pipe, or cross-linked polyethylene tubing, is a type of flexible plastic tubing used primarily in building plumbing and heating systems. PEX has become a popular alternative to copper and PVC pipes.

PEX-A is one of the three main types of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing, distinguished by its manufacturing process and material properties. The PEX-A manufacturing process, known as the Engel method or peroxide cross-linking, involves cross-linking the polyethylene molecules through the use of organic peroxides during the extrusion

process. This method results in a highly flexible, durable tubing with key features such as :

PEX can bend to fit around corners, reducing the need for fittings and the risk of leaks
PEX can handle high temperatures, making it suitable for hot water lines.
It is generally cheaper and quicker to install than copper or steel plumbing, due to fewer connections and fittings needed and the ability to use longer lengths of pipe.
