PEX Piping Services in Downey, CA

PEX Piping

A lot of customers often wonder about the different types of plumbing pipes available when they consider repiping their homes. Practically all new plumbing pipes for replacing old, rusty, and galvanized pipes are either copper or PEX pipes. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene flexible tubing) has become a really popular choice in the last 20-30 years and has some advantages over traditional copper.

“From the first phone call until the work was completed, I was very happy with the whole crew at Downey Plumbing. It was professional, efficient, reasonably priced and I like knowing I have a warrantied repair from a reputable company that's been in the community for a long time. I like knowing where to find someone later on if I need further help with this or another repair. Thanks DP!”

Not only are PEX pipes colorful and flexible, but they are also very durable, they reduce the possibility of future leaks, and resist extremely high and low temperatures. PEX pipes are also efficient, providing a rapid flow of water. They are equally environmentally friendly, long-lasting, and can save you money on water bills. Plumbing with PEX piping is also very economical! PEX materials are cheaper than copper ones, and there’s less effort required from plumbers to install a new plumbing system using PEX pipes.

Expert Tips
- Joe Keays
As a PEX Piping Specialist, here's a pro-tip for you: always ensure proper insulation for your PEX pipes in Downey, CA. Just like we bundle up in winter to stay warm, your pipes need insulation too. This helps prevent freezing during chilly nights and minimizes heat loss, saving you from potential pipe bursts and high energy bills. So, invest in quality insulation materials and safeguard your PEX pipes for a worry-free plumbing experience. Stay cozy and protected!

At Downey Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning, our plumbers use PEX tubing as an excellent option for plumbing, radiant and hydronic systems in both residential and commercial facilities. PEX tubing eases and speeds up any plumbing project combined with our push-fit fittings, valves, manifolds, and other supplies. Below are listed some advantages of PEX piping: 

  • Flexible PEX tubing is installed and serviced comparatively easily. Even if you install PEX in a conventional main line, the connections are faster to make than soldering copper.
  • Wet or dry PEX installation allows you to test pressure immediately.
  • A smaller amount of joints and fittings reduce the total installation costs and the chance of repetitive repairs.
  • PEX tubing was created to resist corrosion and scale accumulation, which improves the entire operation of the plumbing system.

What is Pex Pipe?

PEX stands for cross-linked polyethylene and is a type of plastic tubing that has been used in residential and commercial plumbing systems for the past 50 years. PEX can be used for water service lines, hydronic heating systems, radiant floor heating, snow melting, and many other applications.

It is generally preferred to traditional copper and galvanized steel for water supply lines. PEX is available in red, blue, and white colors to distinguish hot and cold water lines from the main supply.

How Does It Work?

PEX tubing works through an expansion process. The pipes are expanded using a special tool that puts an amount of force on the pipe. This creates the necessary pressure for your plumbing system, preventing leaks and other problems.

PEX piping systems are also designed to be very durable, withstanding extreme high and low temperatures. This means that it is a great choice for harsh climates where the temperature can fluctuate dramatically throughout the year. PEX piping systems are also much more resistant to corrosion than copper or galvanized steel.

What Are The Benefits of PEX Piping?


Some of the many advantages of PEX piping are:

Affordable

The materials used for PEX piping are much cheaper than those used for copper or galvanized steel. This means that the cost of a plumbing system installation is significantly lower when using PEX pipes and fittings.

Absence of Mineral Buildup

When properly maintained, PEX piping systems are less likely to accumulate mineral buildup and other debris. This can lead to an improved flow rate and could help prolong the life of your system.

Low Carbon Footprint

Compared to other plumbing materials, PEX piping systems are much more environmentally friendly. This is because the manufacturing process of PEX requires fewer resources and produces less waste than traditional materials.

Acid Resistant

Another reason why PEX is preferred to copper for water supply lines is because it is more resistant to acids and other corrosive materials. Your PEX piping system will last longer than a traditional copper system.
