Hi all,
I need to reroute few hot/cold water and heating pipes in my house.
At the moment all pipes are copper. For a small DIY job I see that a composite (plastic+metal) PEX-AL-PEX pipe is much easier to use - the ads look very convincing - easy to bend, easy to fit, require less joints, etc.
However, I wonder why is it so unpopular? Is it just something new and have not widely adopted yet or is it bad alternative? What do ads keep in secret?
