Advantages
Flexibility
PEX pipes offer exceptional flexibility, enabling easy installation around corners and obstacles without the need for additional fittings, reducing labor and material costs.
Corrosion Resistance
PEX pipes are highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals and minerals present in water, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance requirements.
Freeze Resistance
PEX pipes have the ability to expand without breaking when frozen, making them suitable for cold climates and protecting against costly damage caused by freezing temperatures.
Noise Reduction
PEX pipes dampen water flow noise compared to traditional metal pipes, contributing to a quieter plumbing system and enhanced comfort in residential and commercial spaces.
High Temperature Tolerance
PEX pipes can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for both hot and cold water applications, including radiant floor heating systems and potable water distribution.
Applications
Hot and Cold Water Supply
PEX pipes are used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings for distributing hot and cold water due to its high thermal stability and corrosion resistance.
Radiant Floor Heating
PEX pipes are ideal for hydronic radiant floor heating systems, efficiently distributing hot water beneath the floor to provide comfortable and energy-efficient heating.
Snow and Ice Melting Systems
PEX pipes are employed in snow and ice melting systems for driveways, walkways, and roofs, utilizing heated water to melt snow and prevent ice accumulation.
Plumbing Retro-fits
PEX pipes are often chosen for plumbing renovations and retrofits due to their flexibility, allowing for easy installation in existing structures with minimal disruption.
