SOLUTION 

Real estate firm Building and Land Technology (BLT) chose a PEX plumbing system because of the system’s simple installation method and lasting reliability. Traditional solutions, like copper piping, require a fitting for every change in direction and lead to longer installation times and higher labor costs. Unlike copper, PEX is inherently flexible and does not require a connection at every change in direction, which significantly reduces installation time and labor costs. Also, joining copper systems typically require soldering and specialized labor skills that add complexity and expense. The connection process for PEX is straightforward, efficient, and reliable, eliminating the need for open flames and fire-watch requirements, allowing additional time and cost savings. Best of all, because PEX naturally resists corrosion and scale buildup, it is much more reliable, cost-effective, and higher performing compared to copper piping systems, which commonly experience corrosion, pinhole leaks, and scale buildup. 

RESULTS 

PEX eliminates connections with each change in direction to speed installs and help manage challenges due to the skilled labor shortage. The connection method further maximizes installation efficiencies, improves jobsite safety, and lowers construction costs by eliminating open flame and fire-watch requirements. These solutions help large projects stay on schedule and on budget while providing a long-lasting, reliable, high-performing plumbing system that residents and building owners can trust for decades.
