PEX everything!

  Does PEX last 100 years even in full sun? PVC does.

    PVC most definitely does not. It is definitely UV susceptible. Edit to include reference: "Manufacturers suggest a thin coat of a latex based paint to protect pipe from discoloration and any other adverse effects that may occur. Choose a white or light colored paint and cover any areas that will be outdoors. This will shield that outer layer of plastic and keep your pipes functioning well for years." https://www.commercial-industrial-supply.com/resource-center/what-are-the-effects-of-sunlight-on-pvc/ https://www.commercial-industrial-supply.com/resource-center...

      Use CPVC instead of PVC with UV exposure.

    Vinyl doesn’t last a year in full sun. If you can put up protectants in vinyl I’m sure you can put them in PEX or HDPE.

  Uh, unless it gets UV exposure, then it's PEX nothing.
