Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe is a plastic material used in water supply piping systems. This type of pipe has several advantages over PP-R pipe, PVC pipe and galvanized steel pipe. Compared to rigid pipes, PEX is flexible and easy to install, with high heat resistance and long-term durability. PEXs range in diameter from 32 to 315. The most commonly used sizes for water supply pipes are 6, 8 and 1 inch

Advantages of PEX Pipe Fittings

PEX is made of a soft and resilient material that is more resistant to cracking from freezing than PVC pipe. The flexibility also makes PEX easy to install. PEX pipe can be bent, flexing around structural frames and other obstructions, reducing the need for holes and notches to accommodate the pipe. The bend in the pipe also eliminates the need for many elbow transition fittings, saving cost and installation time.

Contrast

PEX saves energy by reducing heat transfer losses. In contrast, metal pipes are particularly prone to heat loss. PEX also does not corrode, another advantage over metal pipes, especially galvanized steel pipes, which corrode over time. Perhaps the greatest advantage of PEX for amateur installers is that it does not require soldered connections. PEX also requires fewer connections and fittings overall, which helps keep costs down and reduces leakage issues. Generally, PEX is installed faster than any other water supply line.

Application of PEX Plumbing Pipe

The PEX pipeline system was developed around 1960 and is accepted by major pipeline construction in countries around the world.

The standard way to install PEX pipe is to attach it with barbed fittings and special metal crimp rings that are secured with a crimp tool. After the ring is crimped into place, the installer checks with an inspection tool to confirm the diameter specification of the crimp ring.

Application of PEX Pipe

Typically, PEX pipes can be used to:

Water supply line or portable distribution system

Radiant Floor Heating Applications

Heat transfer applications such as floor cooling, snow melting

Water distribution for hot water applications (including radiators)

Residential Fire/Sprinkler Systems

On the basis of selecting the pipe material, the most suitable for the current situation is what consumers consider.
