Product Description
What are PEX connections?
PEX plumbing pipe is a term that refers to cross-linked polyethylene. It is a form of flexible plumbing tubing used for both hot and cold water supply lines. Thanks to its flexibility and ease of connection, PEX is gradually becoming the preferred pipe for residential and commercial uses.
How is PEX manufactured?
PEX pipe is made from cross-linked HDPE (high density polyethylene). The HDPE is melted and continuously extruded into a tube to form a high-performing pipe suitable for a variety of potable and non-potable plumbing applications.
What is the structure of PEX?
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.
