Default Need a Primer on PEX

How long has this been around, and what are the
advantages over 1" black polypipe? Will it crack when
frozen? Can it be buried and used as a line from a
well to the house?
Thanks.
Frank


It has been around in Europe for about 40 years. It is more flexible than
some of the other plastic pipes. It will expand a bit with a freeze, but it
is still possible to crack it. I don't know about burial requirements or
codes. A Google search will turn up plenty of information.
