RadiantPEX+ | Cross-linked Polyethylene Tubing with EVOH Barrier
The cross-linked molecular structure of RadiantPEX+™ offers toughness,
flexibility and lasting durability. It is corrosion resistant, virtually
maintenance free, and withstands temperatures ranging from below freezing
to above the boiling point.
RadiantPEX+ combines all of the traditional advantages of plastic PEX
tubing, but with an EVOH oxygen barrier. Adding protection against
corrosion for the various ferrous components of a heating system.
RadiantPEX+ is manufactured to meet the American Standard Testing Method
for cross-linked polyethylene tubing (ASTM F 876-09), and all sizes are
made to the Standard Dimension Ratio for plastic pipes, SDR 9.
Keepin' it real... quiet.
Radiant systems that use PEX are known for comfort, but are also
notorious for noise. As the system starts warming up, the tubing expands
causing it to rub aginst the floor and fasteners holding it. The friction
from this rubbing creates ticking or creaking.
You won't get that with RadiantPEX+. They've added an extra low-friction
layer that greatly reduces expansion noise.
Comfort should be felt, not heard.
