The Value of PEX Piping in Your New Olthof Home

Quality construction from Olthof Homes builds value.

The popularity of PEX has steadily increased in the U.S. since its introduction in the 1980’s. Usually thought of as a luxury upgrade Olthof Homes has been using this product in all our new construction as an included feature in our homes for several years.   

Plumbers and homeowners alike are finding that PEX is ideally suited for water plumbing and hydronic heating applications. Its flexibility and strength make it superior to rigid pipe. Its flexibility also makes it easy to fish up through walls on remodeling projects, making it possible for homeowners to tackle a once difficult home improvement project.

PEX, or cross-linked polyethylene, has several advantages over rigid pipe of copper, iron or plastic. PEX can withstand temperatures from below freezing to 200° Fahrenheit. It’s resistant to both the scale and the chemicals found in the typical plumbing environment. It won’t corrode and it won’t develop pinholes. It is faster to install than rigid pipe and uses fewer connections and fittings, meaning a lower cost installation over traditional plumbing materials. And since most plumbing problems will occur at joints, fewer fittings will also reduce the possibility of leaks.

Advantages of PEX Plumbing

  • Flexible PEX pipe can make many directional changes without the need for elbow fittings
  • PEX can be installed in long runs without the necessity of coupling fittings
  • Fittings do not require soldering, eliminating the health hazards of lead-based solder and acid fluxes
  • No torch is needed to make connections, making PEX safer to install
  • There is no cure time waiting for fittings to dry or cool down
  • PEX tubing conserves energy because it does not transfer heat as readily as copper
  • Water flows quietly through PEX pipe, eliminating that characteristic "water hammer" noise of copper pipe systems
  • PEX is less expensive than traditional rigid pipe

PEX Plumbing is just one of many included features that enhances the overall value of your Olthof Home.
