I think they are just standard pre-made copper line sets (copper tubing,
flared ends with flared nuts and overall insulation) that happen to be
sold by a company named "pexsupply"


Those lines seem to be for mini-split systems. Found this in the FAQ.

Q: What is the tubing material? What is the minimum bend radius of the
line?

A: The tubing is made out of level-wound copper. The minimum bend
radius is not a listed spec. We would estimate that it would be about
7 times the outside diameter of the copper.

Wasn't sure if lined or fittings. Not sure why PEX is even used as
modulus is lower than copper. Could have been any plastic.
