For those who can't figure out the cons:


Rodents love to chew PEX.


State your experience please. I know rodents like to chew electrical
wires. I have no experience with them eating my PEX.


Don't settle for one data point:

Google it. Then you can decide if it's worth the risk.

At least with wiring you have various forms of circuit protection
(breakers, arc fault, etc). That usually doesn't happen in plumbing.


Truth is, I don't have rodents. PEX and circuits are just fine.

I have seen woodpeckers and squirrels dull their beak / teeth on
metal.

Makes a heck of noise.
