Experience with PEX tubing
Experience with PEX tubing
(OP)
I'd like to hear from folks that have experience with PEX tubing for domestic water systems in commercial buildings - either owners or contractors. Please tell me the good and the bad for ease of installation, longevity and the like. So far, would you do it again or revert back to copper? Thanks.

Additionally watch for nail strikes and sharp edges.

Reasons:
It can freeze and thaw without damage.
Highly flexible, allows some bends without fittings. Fitting stock is greatly reduced.
Can be installed everywhere quickly and easily when using the brand name joints the require the special tools.
The cross linking fixed the problems with black poly.
The requirement for the special tool keeps the work in the plumbers hands (no handyman repairs)

Where are you at? Are most jurisdictions that you work with beginning to accept it?
