Materials
PEX pipe is a pipe made of cross-linked polyethylene, which has high pressure and high temperature resistance. PEX materials are divided into three types: PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C. Among them, PEX-A has the highest degree of cross-linking and the best thermal stability, PEX-B has a moderate degree of cross-linking and is affordable, and PEX-C has a lower degree of cross-linking and is the cheapest.
Style
There are mainly two types of PEX tubes: straight pipe and coiled pipe. The straight pipe is suitable for laying a long distance and one line, while the coiled pipe is suitable for laying with more bends and more complicated folding lines.
Color
There are many colors of PEX tubes, which can generally be divided according to the purpose and diameter. For example, red is often used for hot water pipes, blue is often used for cold water pipes, and green is used for floor heating.
Purpose
PEX pipes are widely used in construction, water conservancy, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical and tap water industries. Common uses include heating, cooling, water supply, floor heating, heating, etc.
How to use
Connection of PEX pipe: The connection methods of PEX pipe mainly include socket connection and crimping connection.
Laying of PEX pipes: Before laying PEX pipes, it is necessary to do a good job in pipeline inspection, plane laying design, and pipeline maintenance. In addition, pay attention to the bending angle of the pipelines not exceeding 90 degrees to prevent compression deformation.
Maintenance of PEX pipe: PEX pipe is relatively susceptible to chemical corrosion, and needs to be maintained and replaced in time when encountering corrosive substances.
Selection method
Look for the brand: There are many PEX tubes of various brands on the market. It is recommended to choose a well-known brand and avoid buying fake and shoddy products.
Check the quality of the product: When purchasing PEX pipes through regular channels, you should pay attention to checking the quality of the product, such as whether the surface of the pipe is smooth and even, and whether the packaging is complete.
Select the appropriate diameter: The larger the diameter of the PEX tube, the more it can withstand the impact of water pressure. It is recommended to select the appropriate diameter according to the needs of specific pipeline laying.
As a pipe with excellent performance, PEX tube is widely used in all walks of life. Choosing the right PEX tube , reasonable use and maintenance can effectively save water and electricity resources and provide more comfortable guarantee for people’s life.
