Coil Length: 500 feet
Pressure Rating: 160 psi at 73°F
Temperature Limits: 180°F continuous, 200°F maximum
Color Code: Typically natural or color-coded for identification (verify per batch)
Certifications:
ASTM F876/F877
ANSI/NSF 14 and 61
CSA B137.5
Listed for potable water and hydronic applications
Performance and Use:
Installation Method: Compatible with cold-expansion fittings (ASTM F1960), crimp/clamp systems (ASTM F1807/F2159), and press fitting technologies
Corrosion Resistance: Will not corrode, pit, or scale like metal pipe; impervious to common soil and water conditions
Flexibility: Allows for longer continuous runs with fewer fittings, reducing potential leak points
Handling: Lightweight and flexible for ease of transport and installation, particularly in slab, overhead, or tight-space routing scenarios
Application Areas:
Potable water supply lines (hot and cold)
Hydronic baseboard and radiant heating systems
Residential and light commercial plumbing projects
Continuous recirculation systems where NSF-pw rated PEX is permitted
Installation Notes:
Professional installation is recommended to ensure code compliance and proper tool use. This tubing requires compatible PEX fitting systems and appropriate expansion or crimping tools depending on connection method. Always follow local code and manufacturer installation guidelines.
