PEX pipe

PEX pipe or PEX tubing is made of a cross-linked polyethylene plastic, which is a flexible plastic. Because of the versatility of PEX piping, and the fact that it’s flexible and cheap, it’s used for plumbing in both residential and commercial buildings. There are three types of PEX piping: A, B, and C. PEX piping comes in four colors: red, blue, white, and gray. Red is traditionally used for hot water. Blue for cold water. White and gray can be used for both hot and cold water.
