Pumps and Plumbing

Plumbing Pipe – Rehau PEX, a flexible tubing that comes in long rolls or sticks, offers many advantages over traditional piping. First, you can usually make long continuous runs, eliminating most elbows and joints. You can snake long runs through joists and studs, eliminating most elbows and joints. Second, PEX doesn’t sweat under high humidity conditions, and it’s resistant to bursting, even if the lines freeze solid. Third, joints are easier. You add fittings simply by crimping metal rings over barbed fittings using a special crimping tool. Crimping takes seconds and is virtually error-free, avoiding the hassle of soldering (copper) and the fumes and mess of cementing (CPVC). Finally, it’s super easy to work with, and it’s less expensive than copper.
