Installation:
-
Preparation:
- Ensure the pipe is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Inspect the pipe for any damage before installation.
-
Tools and Materials:
- PEX Expansion Tool: For expanding the pipe to fit over the fittings.
- PEX Cutter: To cut the pipe to the desired length.
- Go/No-Go Gauge: To check the accuracy of the connections.
- Expansion Rings: Used to secure the fittings.
- Fittings: Compatible with PEX-A pipe, such as ASTM F1960 fittings.
-
Cutting the Pipe:
- Use the PEX cutter to make clean, square cuts on the pipe.
-
Expanding the Pipe:
- Slide an expansion ring over the end of the pipe.
- Use the PEX expansion tool to expand the pipe end. Rotate the tool slightly between expansions to ensure even expansion.
-
Inserting the Fitting:
- Quickly insert the fitting into the expanded pipe end before it contracts.
- Hold the fitting in place for a few seconds to ensure a secure connection.
-
Checking the Connection:
- Use the Go/No-Go gauge to verify the connection is properly made.
-
Bending and Routing:
- The pipe can be bent to a radius as small as six times its outside diameter.
- Secure the pipe using appropriate supports and clamps, avoiding sharp bends and kinks.
-
Pressure Testing:
- After installation, perform a pressure test to ensure there are no leaks.
-
Insulation:
- Insulate the pipe if it is installed in areas prone to freezing temperatures.
Tools Required:
- PEX Expansion Tool: Used to expand the pipe ends to fit over the fittings.
- PEX Cutter: For making clean, square cuts on the pipe.
- Go/No-Go Gauge: To verify the accuracy of the connections.
- Expansion Rings: To secure the fittings in place.
- Fittings: Compatible with PEX-A pipe, such as ASTM F1960 fittings.
- Deburring Tool: To smooth out the cut ends of the pipe.
