PEX-a

PEX-a is a type of flexible plastic piping used primarily for water supply systems. It’s made from cross-linked polyethylene, which enhances its durability, flexibility, and resistance to high temperatures and pressure. The “a” designation refers to a specific manufacturing process called "peroxide cross-linking," which creates strong chemical bonds in the plastic, resulting in a pipe that is highly resilient and long-lasting. PEX-a is popular because it’s easy to install, does not corrode, and can be bent to fit various configurations, making it a reliable choice for plumbing systems in residential and commercial buildings.
