The abiliity to be fusion welded as well as the O2 barrier being a subsurface layer instead of a coating sound like good ideas to me.

pert piping

has anyone heard of pert. one rep. i was talking too said it's better than pex. more flexible, 5 layered with 02 barrier in the middle instead of the outer wall. he said it was very popular in germany. any thoughts?

S Ebels

Not yet

I haven't had the opportunity to use any yet but I plan to. It's been on the market for a while in Europe and is presently approved for use here. Made by DOW if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe a Roth product?

I was at a Roth "thing" some weeks ago. They passed around a new tubing that was VERY flexible, the barrrier was an inner layer, and it was to be cheaper than Roth's regular pex.
