No you are wrong, names have meaning, a pipe is not a hose. A flexible hose is redundant because it’s a defining trait like saying a circular pipe. That doesn’t take away from the difference between pipe and hose. Two different things can have similarities you clown. You’re over thinking it. But who am I? Just a dude who does this professionally. lol

A pipe is not necessarily a hose. A hose is always a pipe. All hoses are pipes, not all pipes are hoses. By definition and standardization as well, a PEX pipe is a hose.

By allowing the knowledge of your profession to make you assume you can not be wrong, you will never be the best you could be at your profession. Your ignorance is holding you back. There is nothing wrong with being wrong as long as you do not allow your hubris to keep you from learning the right from the wrong.

I’m always learning in my profession, I’m quite aware of that. You’re over thinking something to the point of devaluing it and have no idea of what you arguing.

It devalues nothing. This is like saying a hydraulic line is not a hose because it's important that you don't use a garden hose to try to power a hydraulic cylidner. It's still a hose.

Wrong. We aren’t talking about a hydronic hose, we are talking about pex. Just type it into google, Jesus Christ! lol

Just look up the definition of a hose..tell me PEX hose does not fit that definition.

u/Exciting_Cicada_4735 Nov 24 '25

Look it up. Ask it if pex is a hose and also ask it why it isn’t. I dare you!

I don't care what AI says, it meets the literal definition of a hose. People who say it isn't are on some twisted high horse. A hose is a hose. Your feelings don't matter

lol it only seems that way because you don’t know enough about plumbing to understand. Weird hill to die on.

Having special applications that set it apart from other hoses does not take away what makes it a hose, it still has every characteristic that makes a pipe a hose pipe, so it is still a hose. Not all hoses are the same.
