PEX plumbing is usually listed in your home electrical panel

PEX plumbing refers to a type of plumbing system that uses cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes to distribute hot and cold water throughout a building. PEX pipes are flexible, durable, and resistant to corrosion, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial plumbing applications.

PEX plumbing systems are relatively easy to install and require fewer fittings than traditional copper or PVC pipes. This can save time and labor costs during installation. PEX pipes are also less likely to burst in cold temperatures, making them a good choice for homes in colder climates.

One of the key advantages of PEX plumbing is that it can be used to create a continuous piping system without the need for joints or connections in the middle of a run. This can reduce the risk of leaks and failures at these points. PEX plumbing is also known for its quiet operation, as the pipes don't expand and contract as much as metal pipes do.

However, there are some potential downsides to PEX plumbing. Some critics argue that the chemicals used in the manufacturing process could leach into the water supply, although studies have generally shown that PEX plumbing is safe for use in drinking water systems. Additionally, PEX pipes may be more susceptible to damage from UV rays, so they should be protected from direct sunlight if used outdoors.
