I am re-plumbing a ground floor bathroom with 2 walls that are shared with the garage. I do need to run 1/2" h/c supplies through these walls and I am not sure if I should use pex or copper. The walls are 2 x 6 with fiberglass insulation. The supplies will be wrapped in foam jackets and foam where they penetrate the studs. I do not anticipate a freezing condition, but I still want to use the material that will hold up best during temperature fluctuations. Access is not an issue and either copper or pex will be fairly easy to work with.
The bathroom was previously done in cpvc which burst because the house sat for a while unheated during the winter.
So the question is... which to use?
