Made of "Silane" or "Moisture Cure" method of cross-linking where links between the molecules of the HDPE polymer are formed after the extrusion process. The color of red tubing simply helps identify the pipe as hot water line in PEX plumbing distribution systems that connects to hot water heater. It can also be used for cold water delivery as well, but most use blue PEX tubing for cold water systems. The tubing has the ability to withstand higher temperature ensuring robust delivery of hot water to water supply system, washing machine and other uses. PEX tubing can be resistance to temperature fluctuation all year around and will provide peace of mind ensuring that it is maintenance free for exceptional performance.
