PEX Relates to thermoplastic polymer and thus lends itself to welding. It has good chemical resistance. Used for installation of plumbing, radiant heating and sewer systems.PEX Plumbing pipes are harder than plastic, and systems of them are going through corners, tees, etc. Systems of PEX pipe detachable. The upper operating temperature limit forPEX Plumbing – 70 ° C. Pipes made of polypropylene are offered with diameters 16-110 mm.
* The following types of pipes made of polypropylene: PEX – are made of PEX-a. They are used for cold water, industrial pipelines, ventilation.
* PEX-b (PEX, type 2) – are made of block copolymers of polypropylene. Suitable for cold water pipes, floor heating systems, as well as for manufacturing is a high pipe and fittings.
* PEX-c (PEX, type 3) – are made of polypropylene statsopolimera, the advantage is the ability to evenly distribute the load on the pipe wall. Used for cold and plumbing supply, floor heating systems, water heating. Applications: Drinking hot and cold water heating systems. PEX Plumbing, type 3, depending on the selected pressure may be used for long-term exposure to temperatures of 70 ° C. Exceeding the temperature regime is possible only briefly. For installation in open spaces to use the pipe with a protective plastic jacket from UV rays. Thanks to good sound insulation properties of sound transmission is much lower compared to metal pipes. Supplied packaged a certain length.
* PEX – a kind of polypropylene; PEX Plumbing with the upper limit of the medium temperature to 95 ° C.
PEX Plumbing Pipes are manufactured from polypropylene BOW and Everhot.
