Why Pex
Why
Pex?
Today's
competitive construction environment calls for piping systems that are
trouble-free, cost-effective, and easy to install. Water damage and the
resulting mold, whatever the cause, is simply unacceptable. Flexible PEX (cross-linked
polyethylene) tubing offers a 21st century approach to water piping.
PEX
advantages include:
- Superior joints - PEX crimp joints are
easy to make, verifiable, and stronger than the pipe itself, with no messy
glue or soldering
- Better flow - fewer fittings &
changes of direction than copper or CPVC systems
- Faster hot water delivery - enables
direct routing to kitchens/master baths
- Less rework - piping is run overhead,
not in-slab; less prone to damage by other trades
- Cleaner and corrosion-resistant - no
flux, solder or trash in lines to affect fixtures
- Color-coded for easy hot/cold
identification - no more crossed lines, ever!
- Quiet operation
- Simplified testing and repairs
- Lower cost when compared to traditional
copper systems
The
"PEX-perts"
Ridgeway has successfully
installed thousands of PEX water systems, more than any other plumber in Florida. All installers are fully trained in-house, and every Ridgeway house
undergoes multiple quality checks. Our PEX piping is multi-layer, UV and
chlorine resistant, and meets all codes. We use crimp-style fittings with copper stub-outs. It's easy to see why PEX piping is the top choice among all of the
major homebuilders.
