It’s a popular option. Although it’s installed in more than 50% of dwellings, it can’t provide many benefits. Sure, it is cheaper than copper pipe. But its life span is only 3/4 that of copper. It may be a little bit easier to install than copper, but it will require primer and solvent to connect fittings. It appears that this choice falls somewhere between the two and may be losing ground.
Copper is always an excellent choice due to its long-lasting nature. If you go to an older property and you’ll see that copper piping perfectly in good condition. With proper maintenance it will last more than 100 years. The cost is high and is difficult to put in.
PEX could be the new winner of piping by 2022. The piping is likely to compete with copper’s durability for the long haul. It’s also less difficult to insert as compared to CPVC or copper. This is because it makes use of a plug and snap method. This system also makes labor costs lower due to its ease of use. PEX provides durability as well as costs savings. PEX has a great chance to win.
