Title: A Study of the Advantages and Sustainability of PEX Piping.
Authors: Junshan Liu1 liujuns@auburn.edu, Kramer, Scott1 kramesw@auburn.edu, Vigil, James D.1 jdv0009@auburn.edu

Subjects: Polyethylene, Plastic pipe, Marketplaces, Construction industry, Plumbing
Abstract: Every year new materials are tested, maintained, and approved by the American Society of Testing Materials for future use in construction applications. With new materials entering the industry marketplace; this allows both contractors and facility maintenance personnel to introduce new materials as an alternative to materials generally used as a predecessor. Most of the conventional piping materials, such as PVC, CPVC, copper, galvanized, brass, and concrete pipe have been used and are still regularly used in today's construction industry depending on the application. Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX) Piping is a high pressure flexible plastic pipe with over 40 years of successful use in the European marketplace. It was first introduced in North America in the early 1980s and is widely used for plumbing, water service, fire protection, hydronic heating and cooling, snow and ice melting and ground source geothermal piping systems. This research study explored the advantages of PEX Piping and its application to the evolving construction industry. This research study also identified the primary reasons for utilizing PEX Piping and factors that drive sustainability both from a constructability perspective along with facility maintenance in the future years.
