Choose PEXc for purity.

You don’t drink milk, juice or soda pop from copper or galvanized steel bottles. So why would you want to drink water from copper pipes when you could use the same type of materials used to package some of our most common beverages?

Roth PEXc System Tubing is the backbone of the Roth Plumbing System. This state of the art material is made by “cross-linking” (X) polyethylene (PE) tubing – the same material used to make plastic milk jugs – with a high-energy electron beam (c). The cross-linking process adds additional bonds between the polyethylene molecules to make it stronger, more resilient and resistant to higher temperatures and pressures than other plastic pipe systems. Unlike most similar products from other manufacturers, we don’t use chemicals to cross-link our tubing. Our electron beam method of cross-linking gives our tubing the strength of PEX without the addition of chemicals required by other methods. Unlike other types of PEX tubing that are cross-linked by passing the tubing through a chemical bath, our electron beam method results in very uniform cross-linking through the entire wall thickness of the tubing – and we don’t have to worry about rinsing all the chemical residue from the inside of the tubing when we’re finished. If you’re concerned about purity, Roth PEXc tubing is the product to use.

PEXc is the product used for drinking water systems in Europe where it was pioneered in the 1970’s and Roth is among the largest manufacturers of PEXc tubing in Germany. Roth has the experience and the products to provide the cleanest, most flexible plumbing system available today.
