Why PEX?

PEX tubing has been used throughout Europe for over 30 years and is becoming more popular in the US every year. PEX tubing is less expensive than traditional copper piping and there are several options for PEX fitting systems that give you different options depending on the type of job and your experience working with PEX fittings. Whether you choose compression, crimp, clamp or SharkBite fittings, most customers find these connections easier to make than soldering.

You can learn more about making PEX connections by watching the videos in our Resource Center. When you've made your decision, you can get all the PEX tubing, PEX fittings, PEX tools and any other supplies you need at www.supplyhouse.com
