PEX has so many advantages over the traditional material used for tubing and piping that PEX uses are picking up in variety of industries. PEX is almost synonymous with tubing and piping. Some of the direct benefits of PEX like:

• High adaptability
• Fewer fittings
• Corrosion resistant

These advantages make PEX an obvious choice for all the plumbing applications, be it home or small industries. PEX is ideally suited for portable plumbing applications/ portable water plumbing applications. Since PEX is usually able to withstand high temperatures, it is an ideal carrier for water in households. PEX is also well suited for using as a carrier for cold-water service applications. It also finds usage in underground piping, and places where there is no exposure to UV rays. However, PEX isn’t normally used in outdoor settings. PEX plumbing systems that are used domestically can reduce the energy consumption of the households significantly. Direct lines can be customized to suite the requirements, hence will further save the time required to wait for the hot water. Apart from that, PEX can find applications in hydronic radiant heating systems, snow melting applications, refrigeration warehouses. PEX systems can easily merge with the slabs, and underground systems. Recently PEX is also used in Mining applications, although, the authorities are yet to certify its usage in similar industries.Homeowners, plumbers and contractors everywhere are realizing the problems with copper and CPVC, so they look for an alternative. The alternative is GTPEX Pipe Systems. GTGlobe Industries is on the cutting edge of PEX Tubing [cross-linked polyethylene (PE) tubing] and PEX Fitting manufacturing. Some other industries where PEX can be used in the future are:

• Slurry large diameter pipe lines
• Sea lines
• Gas pipe lines
• Salt water lines
