Overview

There are plenty of places to buy PEX tubing. In recent years, it has become quite popular as a substitute for the rigid copper tubing. Compared to copper, PEX pipe has many advantages that make it a prime substitute. Before shopping for tubing, consider everything that your project will require. PEX plumbing is only one piece of your plumbing or heating system. You may also need clips, fittings, and crimp or clamp rings to work with your PEX. You may also need to purchase specialized PEX tools to handle the tubing efficiently.

PEX Universe

PEX Universe

PEXuniverse.com is a great website for finding everything you need for your PEX project. They sell both regular PEX and Aluminum PEX tubing with an oxygen barrier for your radiant heating project. You can also find circulator pumps, manifolds for both plumbing and radiant heating systems, and all of the fittings that you would need for your PEX installation. The website also stocks clams and crimp rings, valves for plumbing and heating, tankless water heaters, thermostats, heat transfer plates, and PEX tools. The product usually ships the next day and shipping isn’t very expensive either.

Lowe’s and Home Depot

You can also find PEX and accessories at large home improvement stores. You may have to make sure that the specific tubing and accessories are in stock before heading to the store but these stores usually have a large selection of products. There is obviously no shipping charge unless you purchase the product from their online store.

Local Supply House

Your local supply house might be the most convenient place for you to shop for PEX tubing. Their selection will more than likely not be as vast as PEX Universe or a large home improvement store but their personnel will hopefully be personally experienced with installing the tubing and its appliances. You will be able to get all of the questions you may not have been able to get answered at a website or a home improvement store answered here. They may even have recommendations for the tubing or personal anecdotes that may make purchasing the tubing easier. You may also be able to rent expensive PEX tools for days at a time. Always do your research before beginning a big plumbing or heating project.
