In fact there are those that will guarantee pex to never split from freezing.nomad297 wrote:
I am a plumber. PEX pipe does split from freezing. The fittings also split. As with copper, just because it freezes, it won't necessarily split, but sometimes it will. It all depends on the circumstances.

Pex is rated to -60f is what I've been told. As others have stated the fittings are not.
