Why choose PEX-a for hydronic piping applications?

Although thoroughly tested and proven, PEX is still sometimes misunderstood by mechanical contractors and engineers.

More than 17 billion feet of PEX, or crosslinked polyethylene, has been installed worldwide. That’s enough to stretch to the moon and back almost seven times. In recent years, it has increasingly been installed in commercial and residential hydronic applications, despite copper and steel’s traditional dominance in that heating segment.
