PEX Pipe: A Versatile Plumbing Solution

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipe is a popular and cost-effective material for various plumbing and heating applications in New Zealand. Its cross-linked structure provides good temperature and pressure resistance. A helpful feature of PEX is its colour-coding system, which aids in easy identification of different lines. It's important to note that some colour meanings can be specific to New Zealand:

Blue PEX: Commonly indicates cold potable water supply lines.
Red PEX: Typically designates hot potable water supply lines.
Black PEX: Used for potable water (both hot and cold) 
Lilac (Purple) PEX: specifically identifies wastewater lines (recycled or non-potable water).
Green PEX: is used for harvested rainwater lines (non-potable).

While these colours provide a convenient visual guide, it's crucial to always check the printed markings on the PEX pipe itself to confirm its specific ratings, certifications, and intended use. These markings contain essential information about pressure and temperature limits, as well as compliance with relevant New Zealand standards. PEX pipe's flexibility, durability, and color-coding make it a practical choice for a wide range of plumbing and heating needs.
