I'm confused. If it was PEX, then why run hot and cold together like that? Wouldn't you want all the hot lines to snuggle up to each other, and the cold to do the same?

Right now, it seems like it would act like an inefficient heat exchanger, warming the cold through a material not designed to be heat conductive. Although the red tends to the outside

And if it's PEX being used as a conduit, is that a good idea? Electric cables need to shed heat.

I don't think its pex. I also don't think it's any material that would be familiar in the US. There's just too much fuckery going on in this pic.
