    Depending on where you live. PEX is very pliable and is now used in a lot of cottages. As long as the water in it does not freeze it should be okay. It certainly is a lot easier to instal and make connections than the old method.

    Also the great thing about pex is that it actually can freeze and still usually doesn't break. I put pex throughout my house when one of my sinks froze (north wall, not really surprising) and I panicked thinking I would have a burst line and leak once it thawed out. But I looked into it and pex is so pliable that it will literally just swell with the ice and rarely break.
