Had a plumber come out to my sisters house cause it was just to much for me to fuck with. He replaced with this and said it could expand to twice its size in a freeze. Thinking of having the whole house re plumbed with it ( small house).

It's much better than pvc or copper for freezing in my experience. Not sure if it leaches toxins.

I've seen so many torture test by my dad with no insulation on the caps or couplers or 90s. He used build configuration and freeze thaw for weeks no issues he stands by it so will i
