PEX Tubing Manufacturers
PEX tubing is sold by a large number of manufactures just in the United States and Canada alone. The main difference in the types of tubing is the process of manufacturing. PEX-a is made through the Engel process which forms more consistent tubing. This process does, however, take more time and money than the other two methods. PEX-b is made
through cross-linking agents. Most manufacturers use this method for their PEX tubing. PEX-c is manufactured through electron beam processing which produces cross-linking that is less uniform but is the most environmentally friendly method. There are other slight differences between these companies that manufacturers like to exaggerate.
