PEX pipes came into popularity in the United States in the 1980s and since that time, problems have come to light.
Why the popularity? PEX pipes are crafted from a flexible material called crosslinked polyethylene, and this material holds up better than most metal pipes or rigid plastic pipes, such as PVC pipes. Why are so many homes having problems with PEX pipe brass fittings? PEX piping is a very common type of pipe used in Charlotte and across the nation.
