PEX vs Copper Pipe: Which Is Right for Your Project?

PEX Advantages

Flexibility: PEX bends around corners, reducing the number of fittings needed and simplifying installation.
Freeze Resistance: PEX can expand and contract, making it more resistant to freeze damage than rigid copper.
Corrosion-Free: PEX won't corrode or develop pinhole leaks, even in aggressive water conditions.
Cost-Effective: PEX materials cost less than copper and install faster, reducing total project cost.

When to Use Copper

Outdoor Runs: Copper handles UV exposure where PEX cannot be left exposed to sunlight.
Water Heater Connections: Many codes require rigid pipe within 18 inches of the water heater.
Existing Copper Systems: SharkBite push-to-connect fittings make copper-to-PEX transitions seamless without soldering.
Pro Tip: Visit Family Hardware for expert advice on choosing the right pipe for SW Florida conditions.
