For those of you who have PEX pipe in your homes, does PEX pipe sweat
like metallic pipe? My guess would be "NO", but that's only a guess.
I'm just curious...

Yes it can sweat, not nearly as much as metal.
They use sch80 PVC here for condensate lines because that seems to be
the least "sweaty"


PEX sweating may be related to climate conditions? I don't see it
here in the desert. My house is all PEX and a manifold, low humidity.
