if i understand correct, you want to connect the PEX from the copper
directly to your water heater
when you replace it.

Also, when using PEX for hot water aplications, you need to use the type
with an Oxygen barrier. If you don't, it will degrade the PEX pretty
quickly.

I was under the impression that you could bend it a bit tighter than a
three foot radius. In my investigations into underfloor hydronic radiant
heating, PEX is often used. To be able to make a 180 degree turn from
one joist bay to the next, the maximum curve would have to be less than

PEX is flexible but only to an arc of maybe 3 feet diameter. In your situation
you might consider a loop or an arc allowing you the extra length when/if you
need it. With a hundred feet though you should be able to replace it when that
occasion arises.

if this is the case, that is a big no no. PEX, or any plastic pipe is not

Al,
Just go to lowes.com or homedepot.com and type in pex in the search box.
I just did at lowes and found pex ranging between 20 cents per foot and 30
cents per foot, for half inch line, and depending on color and total
length you purchase. 3/4 inch line seemed to be nearly twice as much. I
Bob, thanks for this info. I think one problem I have been kicking
around in my mind is that various pipes run here and there with

Hi,
Yes, PEX, (cross linked polyethylene) is fairly flexible and comes in
rolls. It can be expanded to fit over fittings then clamped firmly into
place. It will form around corners to a point without crimping, a little
