Outfitting Your Home with Modern Plumbing Materials

Throughout the years, differentc types of plumbing have improved reliability, longevity, and capability of the plumbing systems in our home. Today, the development and advancements of synthetic materials and plastics has created a number of different high-quality options when it comes to plumbing. However, there may not be one that’s better for your home than PEX piping from Uponer©. First introduced into the market in Europe back in 1975, PEX piping is a specialized type of plastic that comes in three different varieties: PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C. PEX-B is more rigid over longer distances while PEX-A is generally more flexible and malleable.

Tired of galvanized steel causing leaks? Do you have a problematic copper system with issues like leaks, corrosion, and rust? PEX plumbing from Uponer© may be the perfect choice for your home. PEX plumbing is extremely durable, fairly inexpensive, and largely easy to install. Because these pipes can be quickly cut to size and fittings are generally easy to install, PEX can save you a lot of time on your repipe project. For this reason, it’s quickly becoming the most popular choice for plumbing all cross the country.

Some benefits of PEX plumbing include:

• Longevity: PEX plumbing systems can easily last anywhere from 75 to 100 years.
• Low cost: PEX is significantly cheaper to purchase, install, maintain, and repair than other materials like copper
• Quiet: PEX piping is largely resistant to issues like water hammer, making it a great choice for those who want to reduce the noise water can make running through pipes.
