PEX Tubing has revolutionized underfloor heating since the time it has emerged in the market. It is also excellent for potable water distribution systems. It is a cross-linked polyethylene popularly known as PEX. PEX is flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, doesn't corrode or develop pinholes, is faster to install than metal or rigid plastic, and has fewer connections and fittings. PEX tubing is made from cross linked (stabilized) high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer. The HDPE is melted and continuously extruded into tube. All PEX tubing at Pexheat.com go through thorough testing before shipping. Some of our manufactures also provide "replacement" warranties if the product should fail after installation. You can feel confident using PEX tube in your next radiant floor or domestic water system installation.
During the 60s, research was underway in Europe on a new polymer material called cross-linked polyethylene, or "PEX" for short. The reason for the decline of the use of radiant floor heating in homes and other dwellings is because many floor heating systems that were installed in the United States using copper tubing and steel pipe failed due to metal fatigue or chemical incompatibilities with concrete, and it was often difficult or impossible to find and correct. However, Pex tubing changed this. Nothing compares to the comfort and warmth of a PEX underfloor radiant heat system in your home. In the process of heating the rom, hot water passes through PEX tubes and warms the floor. It is very crucial for the tube to withstand significant temperatures, without damaging the tube. PEX is created to high ASTM standards and usually performs 2 to 3 times the ASTM temperature/burst pressure ratings printed on the tubing.
PEX Tubes are very easy to install and are even more cost effective. It is cheaper than conventional copper plumbing, and has an exceptional track record when it comes to performance and durability. It is currently one of the most commonly used heating pipe in the industry. PEX tube has significant advantages over conventional metal pipes like copper, iron, or lead piping. It can also substitute for hard plastic pipe systems. It has had very positive reviews by architecture and building groups since it was launched and has gained fast acceptance by the building trades. All customers are more than happy with its performance and durability..
