Product Description
Plastic Pex/Pert Oxygen Barrier Pipe for Underfloor Heating Pipe
1/2" PEX Tubing with Oxygen Barrier (EVOH) is used for residential and light commercial radiant heating applications, water supply system, etc. PEX tubing with oxygen barrier is able to prevent oxygen from infiltrating into tubing system and stops it from oxidating metal parts of the heating system. By applying PEX tubing, thus lengthen the lifespans of metal parts including valves, switches, boilers and sub-catchments. If this tubing is applied in water supply system, water will not be spoiled due to oxidation. Meanwhile, bacteria living on oxygen will not breed as well. It has many applications due to it's flexibility, light weight and ability to deliver a large amount of heat. Tubing is marked every 5ft with length and meets ASTM standards, approvals, certifications, pressure ratings and other technical standards.
Application
1/2" PEX tubing w/ Oxygen Barrier is common but not limited to following applications:
- Structural concrete slabs (rebar or wire mesh reinforced slabs).
- Non-structural slabs (thermal mass, gypsum slabs).
- Staple-up (between joists) radiant floor heating with and without heat transfer plates.
- "Sandwich" type radiant heating (between subfloor and finished floor).
- Snow & ice melting systems.
- Baseboard & radiator heating systems.
- Water supply system.

Q:What is PEX pipe?
A: Almost all PEX used for pipe and tubing is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). PEX contains cross-linked bonds in the polymer structure, changing the thermoplastic to a thermoset. Cross-linking is accomplished during or after the extrusion of the tubing.It provides an excellent option for plumbing,radiant and hydronic systems in both residential and commercial plumbing applications.When combined with push-fit fittings,manifolds,valves,and other accessories,PEX pipe offers the fastest way to plumb any project.
Q:What's the benefits of PEX pipe?
A:PEX pipe is part of a water supply piping system that has several benefits over metal pipe or rigid plastic pipe systems.It is flexible,resistant to scale and chlorine.PEX pipe doesn't corrode or develop pinholes.Plus.it is faster to install than metal or rigid plastic and has fewer connections and fittings.
Q:what's the difference in the red,white,blue,and grey PEX pipe?
A:There is no performance differences between red,white,blue and grey PEX all are intended for use plumbing,radiant and hydronic systems.The colors can be used to easily distinguish between hot and cold distribution lines.
Q:Where is PEX approved for use?
A.PEX pipe is approved for residential and commercial hot and cold water distribution systems,municipal water service lines,radiant panel heating systems,hydronic baseboard heating systems,snow and ice melting systems and building services pipe.
Q:Is PEX pipe freeze resistant?
A:Yes,PEX pipe is freeze-damage resistant.PEX pipe will expand if frozen and contract to its original shape when thawed.PEX pipe is not freeze-proof.You should use the same standard insulation precautions with PEX pipe to help prevent freezing.
Q: What is the difference between PEX-A, PEX-B and PEX-C?
A: The cross-linking method is the difference between PEX-A, PEX-B and PEX-C. Cross-linking is defined as polyethylene material that has undergone a change in molecular structure using a chemical or a physical process whereby the polymer chains are chemically linked.
The methods for cross-linking are:
PEX-A: Peroxide - This method employs organic peroxides that, when heated, generate reactive free radicals that splice PEX chains together during extrusion
PEX-B: Silane This method involves grafting a reactive silane molecule to the backbone of the polyethylene
PEX-C: Electron beam This method involves subjecting the extruded PE pipe to a dose of high-energy electrons
Q: What is the hottest water that can be run through PEX pipe?
A: The temperature of the water is dependent on the pressure setting:
- 74°F (23°C) @ 160 psi
- 180°F (82°C) @ 100 psi
- 200° F (93°C) @ 80 psi
Q: Can PEX be exposed to sunlight?
A: No, PEX pipe is not approved for continuous UV exposure. PEX pipe should not be stored in direct sunlight
Q: Can PEX save me money?
A: Yes, PEX pipe can save money in numerous ways. PEX pipe is more cost effective than Copper. Plus, PEX pipe is flexible which makes it fast to install and requires fewer directional fittings. When PEX pipe and fittings are used together, the labor savings are huge.
