PERT vs PEX: Which Is Right for Your Plumbing Project?

Both PERT and PEX are great choices for hot water systems, but they differ in flexibility and installation methods. PERT doesn’t require cross-linking, making it easier to recycle and safer to process. PERT is often preferred in radiant heating and multilayer pipe systems due to its thermal stability and affordability.

✔ Easier processing than PEX
✔ Long-term high temperature resistance
✔ Suitable for multilayer composite pipes
