In fact, PEX tubing have a number of positive qualities:

- They do not require painting and constant care, decorative, flexible, flexible and safe, and in addition, are cheaper than metal counterparts;

- Durable, leak-proof, hygienic, have a long operational life with the condition of proper installation, which carried out much easier than metal pipes, however, any barrel has at least one spoonful of tar oil.

So, about those merits, which are described above, known to many, but only a few are familiar with the fact that PEX tubing are divided into four main categories, each of which has specific properties and is suitable only for certain purposes.

1. Polyvinyl chloride PVC – the worst possible choice for home water systems. Operating time – just 1 year, in addition, this material can be toxic. And because it is used only in extreme cases and then in the sewerage system.

2. PEX – may be common – for cold water and “stitched together” – for hot. And if such pipes are equipped with “kislorodozapirayuschim layer”, then for heating systems. Material more durable and high quality, but is able to “age” under ultraviolet light.

3. Copper - used in open systems, for podvodok to devices. Such pipes are protected from oxidation, but in most cases have a standard diameter of 40 mm. Are interconnected with metal fittings, which are under the influence of chlorine (if it in the water), deteriorating rapidly.

4. Polypropylene – have the highest operating period (up to 50 years), have low thermal conductivity. Withstands high temperatures (in some cases up to 100 ° C for short term). They are resistant to corrosion and acids and solvents. In such tubes is not limescale deposits are formed, they did not have bacterial flora and acoustic insulation. And besides, they are easy to install. Such pipes can be used in systems for hot and cold water, radiant heating and plumbing. These PEX pipes are a new generation of an PEX Tubing Canada.

While there are pipes recently, as such service as optimization of websites, but their benefits have already appreciated and professionals, and ordinary people who use them.
