This pipe is designed for use in potable water piping systems and is compatible with various fittings and systems.

Applications:

1. Potable Water Systems: Ideal for both hot and cold water distribution in residential and commercial buildings.
2. Radiant Heating Systems: Used in underfloor heating systems due to its flexibility and ability to handle high temperatures.
3. Snow Melting Systems: Effective in outdoor applications to prevent snow and ice buildup on driveways and walkways.
4. Hydronic Heating: Suitable for hydronic baseboard and radiator heating systems.
5. Fire Suppression Systems: Can be used in residential fire sprinkler systems.
6. Refrigeration Lines: Applicable in certain refrigeration and cooling systems.

This pipe's flexibility, durability, and resistance to corrosion make it a reliable choice for these applications.

Installation:

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure the pipe is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
   • Inspect the pipe for any damage before installation.

2. 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.

3. Cutting the Pipe:

   • Use the PEX cutter to make clean, square cuts on the pipe.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Checking the Connection:

   • Use the Go/No-Go gauge to verify the connection is properly made.

7. 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.

8. Pressure Testing:

   • After installation, perform a pressure test to ensure there are no leaks.

9. Insulation:

   • Insulate the pipe if it is installed in areas prone to freezing temperatures.

Tools Required:

1. PEX Expansion Tool: Used to expand the pipe ends to fit over the fittings.
2. PEX Cutter: For making clean, square cuts on the pipe.
3. Go/No-Go Gauge: To verify the accuracy of the connections.
4. Expansion Rings: To secure the fittings in place.
5. Fittings: Compatible with PEX-A pipe, such as ASTM F1960 fittings.
6. Deburring Tool: To smooth out the cut ends of the pipe.
