Default Drinking water system tubing fails

With runs of ten feet, makes me wonder why can't their family members walk
ten feet to a water cooler?

Is there a longer-lasting plastic material available, suitable for
potable water? Cost would not be a big factor as the attic runs are only
about 10 ft. long.


PEX. Life expectancy is 100 years.

100 years !!!!
I doubt it.... 5 years from now it will probably be banned because
its falling apart. I use metalic pipe only.
Why the OP wont use copper is a mystery to me. I'd rather have my
water go thru copper, than thru any plastic which will "flavor" the
water with formeldahyde and all sorts of other toxic chemicals.
