PEX
PEX, or cross-linked polyethylene, is a type of flexible plastic pipe used in plumbing systems. It’s made from durable polyethylene that has been chemically treated to form strong bonds between the molecules—this process is called cross-linking. PEX pipes are resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, making them ideal for supplying hot and cold water. They are easier to install than traditional metal pipes because they’re flexible, lightweight, and can be connected with special fittings and clamps. PEX is widely used in residential and commercial plumbing for its reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
