NSF/ANSI 61-G, NSF/ANSI 372, nsf-pw-g: Complies with NSF/ANSI standard 61-G for Lead-Free Drinking Water System Components ( Non-Barrier PEX Tubing). NSF/ANSI 14, nsf-rfh: Evaluated for use in Radiant Floor Heating (NSF-rfh) Applications ( Oxygen Barrier PEX tubing).

Push system: Push-Fit or Push-to-Connect style fittings (no tools or rings required).Clamp (Cinch) system: Clamp Tool + Stainless Steel Clamps (per ASTM F2098) + Crimp style PEX Fittings (same as above).Crimp system: Crimp Tool + Copper Crimp Rings (per ASTM F1807 standard) + Crimp style PEX Fittings (brass – per F877/F1807 or poly – per F877/F2159 standards).Since PEX expands and contracts with temperature changes, it should be secured so as to provide sufficient space for expansion to occur.Īll types (A, B, C) of PEX tubing are compatible with Crimp, Clamp or Push-to-connect type connection systems: Typical elongation is anywhere from 1" to 2.5" for every 100ft of PEX pipe at a 10☏ temperature rise. Parallel runs of pipe can be spaced as close as necessary. Note: minimum bending diameter only refers to the 90-degree and 180-degree (U-shaped) bends. Over-bending the PEX pipe, deforms its’ round shape, restricts flow and over-stresses the pipe. For 1/2" PEX with OD of 5/8", minimum bending radius is 8 x 5/8" = 5". Minimum recommended bending radius is 8 times the outside diameter of PEX For concrete slabs, pressure is maintained at 30 psi during the pour and is monitored to assure integrity of the system.Some manufacturers recommend "conditioning" of the system, or allowing the PEX system to stay pressurized for about 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. Since PEX is a flexible pipe, it will expand somewhat (especially PEX-a) during the initial pressurizing of the system, causing a drop in pressure reading.Air pressure testing is recommended over water for practical reasons and due to difficulties arising from water freezing during winter months.Pressure testing requirements and procedures should be in compliance with local codes and PEX manufacturer’s instructions.Maximum working pressure indicates highest anticipated operating pressure.Pressure testing - Hot & Cold Water Plumbingģ times the maximum working pressure or a minimum of 40 psi, but no greater than 100 psi.ĭuration: 30 minutes minimum, 2 hours recommendedġ.5 times the maximum working pressure but no greater than pipe’s pressure rating at given temperature. Pressure testing - Hydronic & Radiant Heating Pressure ratings, testing and pressure drop PEX Tubing Pressure Ratings Exceptions are nominal sizes 1/2" and below. PEX made to US standards must comply with a SDR-9 (Standard Dimension Ratio), which is the ratio of OD (Outside Diameter) to pipe wall thickness (9:1).This is why push fittings can be used with all of these pipes. OD of PEX, copper and CPVC pipe with the same size (CTS) is the same.PEX tubing sizes are denoted by CTS (copper tubing size), not OD (Outside Diameter) or ID (Inside Diameter).Same data applies both to oxygen barrier and non-barrier PEX. Dimensional data is subject to manufacturing tolerances and may vary by brand. * Numbers are approximate as per ASTM requirements.
