Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), a type of flexible plastic, is currently replacing traditional copper and galvanized steel as water supply lines in both residential and commercial applications. PEX pipe ranges from 3/8” to 1” in diameter and its color-coding makes it a snap to identify what a specific pipe is used for. Although there are three types of PEX, the different colors don’t imply the distinctions; they simply make it easy to identify which lines carry hot water, generally red in color and which carry cold, which are generally blue in color and white which could be used for both.
VMS stocks PEX fittings in both brass and a poly alloy, PEX crimp rings and PEX pipe in a wide variety of lengths and an extensive selection of pipe diameters.
