As a building official, I highly recommend the use of PEX tubing

“As a building official, I highly recommend the use of PEX tubing in domestic water applications to mitigate the problems of failing metallic pipes.” - Richard Shields, CBO, Grand Terrace, Calif.

Uponor is our PEX product of choice

“Our primary business is new-construction plumbing: single-family detached and attached housing, as well as hospitality. In each of these types of work, PEX tubing affords us ease of installation and system-design flexibility.” - Dave Kokosenski, RCR Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc., Riverside, Calif.

PEX is a great product

“I like the material. The sad thing is that California will [finally] join the other 49 states. For a state that is typically progressive, we find ourselves way at the other end of the scale on this one.” - John Raya,
Plumbing Concepts, Inc., Yorba Linda, Calif.

I am glad to see PEX added to the state plumbing code

“I am glad to see PEX added to the state plumbing code. The pipe trades have actively worked to block the material in areas where we work and have succeeded in doing so. This decision by the CBSC [California Building Standards Commission] is a good one for all of us.” - Ron Perez, President, Reychole Mechanical, Napa, Calif.
