One of the most important parts of any construction project, residential or commercial, is choosing a reliable, high-performance plumbing system. Equally important; choosing an appropriate fitting solution. The right fitting can ensure performance and reliability throughout the life of the plumbing system, offer unparalleled safety and efficiency, and promote profitability during the project and after it is completed. Choosing unreliable fitting solutions can result in costly failures that jeopardize your reputation as well as the safety and integrity of your project.

Microplastics are tiny and typically derive from larger objects. They are often broken down by sunlight, oxygen, or friction. This blog addresses concerns that plastic piping systems, such as polyethylene (PE), crosslinked polyethylene (PEX), polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT), polypropylene (PP), and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) leach microplastics into drinking water and contaminate the water supply.

PEX (an acronym for crosslinked polyethylene) is a popular, high-performance piping solution for residential and commercial applications. However, the assumption that all PEX is created equal is not true and can lead to costly mistakes. Using inferior PEX can result in troublesome issues, requiring expensive repiping efforts that can also damage your reputation with customers.
