Overheard a plumber say PEX is just as good as copper for hot water lines
I was at the hardware store on Coors Blvd last Wednesday and heard two guys arguing near the pipe aisle. One said PEX saves money and time, the other swore copper lasts twice as long with no failures. I just had to repipe my old house and went with PEX, but now I wonder if I made the right call for a 40-year home. What do you all think, is copper actually worth the extra cost or is PEX just as good for the long haul?

You said you went with PEX for a 40-year home... what kind of warranty did your plumber give you on the fittings?

Just standard lifetime warranty on the fittings, never had to use it though.
