The results of a special PM survey show our readers really like PEX.
This is especially evident in the responses from a survey we sent to 1,000 Plumbing & Mechanical subscribers in July (a 28 percent response rate). The 146 respondents that said they installed PEX plumbing explained that 43.2 percent of their total plumbing installations used PEX tubing. Compare that to the 50.69 percent of copper pipe installations, and you'll see that PEX is gaining ground.
