Research has shown that PEX not only has potential health hazards for the end users, as the Drafted Environmental Impact Report has shown, but also fails after a few years in use.  These failures have occurred nationwide and have resulted in numerous class action lawsuits...

Those are not my words, they are from this report.

I have a tiny tie in of PEX to the copper lines for the water heater and for one out side hose bib that was rerouted. There have been no problems in about 3 years, but I still eye the tie suspiciously. Secretly since the areas are so small, I wish I had kept it all copper.
