Retains shape for fitting into layout

Comments about 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX Tubing (300 ft Coil):

I put this tubing into Roth Radiant Panels. It snaps in the channels tightly. Turns are easily made as tubing stays where you put it.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great choice for "do it your self-ers"

By Chappy

from Eau Claire, WI

Verified Buyer

Comments about 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX Tubing (300 ft Coil):

This pex is very easy to use and can bend very tight radius. I used it for a wall heat system in a basement bathroom. I needed no professional help for the install other than the hook-up at the boiler. I also added underfloor heat for my master bath using this product. One you make the bend, the pex keeps its shape.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mr. PEX-AL-PEX tubing

By Ed,Army of One

from McAllister,Mt

Verified Buyer

Comments about Rifeng 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX Tubing (1,000 ft Coil):

This tubing was easy to install,even for a DYIer.I would recommend using a PEX tubing cutter and PEX reamer for ease in making connections to manifolds.
Tubing bends easily and takes a lot of abuse before kinking.It's a perfect match for Warmboard Radiant Panels.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      A:

      I didn't use any of them i used the watts compression fittings that have a double o ring that goes on the inside of the tubing and a compression ring that goes on the outside to lock it in place

      A:

      PEX-AL-PEX tubing does not have the same dimensions as standard PEX tubing. PEX-AL-PEX only works with compression and press fittings designed for PEX-AL-PEX. It is not compatible with copper crimps and stainless steel clamps.

    What is the minimum bend radius for 1/2 inch PEX-AL-PEX?
    Asked on 4/24/2012 by Ed from Chandler, Arizona

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      Rifeng 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX has a minimum bend radius of 3.15".

      Answered on 5/11/2012 by PexSupply Staff from NY

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      It bends quite easily. If you are careful, and use a bending tool to support the bend
      as you make it, to help prevent kinks, you can make a 180 degree bend in 6 inches
      or even a little less if you don’t' mind pushing your luck a little. So a 6 inch
      diameter arc would be a 3 inch radius. Use a piece of scrap to practice on for
      making sharp bends. After a few tries you will get a good idea of how far you
      can go. If you don't have a bend tool, you can use a piece of round PCV pipe
      to support the bend. If you try it with just your hands, without any support, it
      is more likely you will kink it.

      the tightest bed i have ever made with the stuff was close to 8" radius by hand. if you use a bender i'm sure it can go tighter.

  • 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX Tubing (300 ft Coil)

    Q:

    I am planning to install radiant floor heat in a slab. Other than price, while looking through the specs, I see no significant difference between the standard oxygen barrier pex, the therma pex, the hepex plus and the pex-al-pex (other than the obvious alum. layer which eases in installation but requires other fittings). Which is the recommended product for my application?
    Asked on 4/13/2012 by Construction Genius Extraordinaire???? from Seattle

    2 answers

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      PEX-AL PEX tubing has the advantages of increased rigidity and less linear expansion, but there are fewer options for fittings. hePEX and ThermaPEX differ from most oxygen barrier PEX because they are graded PEX-A. PEX-A has superior shape memory, making it more flexible, more freeze-resistant, and easier to work with. You can fix kinks in it by applying heat, and only PEX-A works with expansion type PEX fittings.

      Go with the one you like the best. I like the Pex al Pex but the fittings get real expensive if you need a lot of them.

    Q:

    Are the fittings the same for different types of Pex 1/2"
    Asked on 3/6/2012 by Anonymous from mimbres NM

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      We have used pex/al/pex pipe and fittings  for a lot of years, and those fittings generally can be used on any of the pipe, we just look at the ID and OD
      With the pex tubing, as long as the inside diameter and outside diameters are the same you should have no problem interchanging the fittings. We have tried the pex/al/pex fittings on pex tubing and the 1/2" size works, but not on the 3/4" or 1" sizes. You have to get pex fittings.

      Answered on 3/6/2012 by Another PexSupply Customer

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      The fittings for Pex tubing change based on two scenarios. One scenaro
      is the type of Pex tubing being used. If you use a Pex Al Pex tubing
      (aliminum barrier) then you must use a Pex Al Pex compression fitting.
      However, if you are using potable non-barrier tubing or an oxygen
      barrier Pex tubing then you can use 3 diffenant types of fittings it
      just depends on what tool if any you plan to use. If you are using a
      Crimp tool then you can use the HydroPex crimp fiittings in conjunction
      with copper crimp rings or stainless steel clamps. If your using a
      expander tool then you can use the ProPex fittings in conjunction with
      the expander rings. If you choose to use no tool at all then you can use
      a push to fit fittings.

      A:

      No , PEX-AL-PEX fittings are different
      than regular PEX connectors. Don't try and
      use crimp type fittings. PEX-AL-PEX uses
      O-rings to seal the connection.

      Answered on 3/6/2012 by Another PexSupply Customer

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      Everything I found says that you cannot use the ring crimp type fitting
      (like the ones at Menard's) but I have used them on 10 or so connections
      and they work perfectly. They pressure tested ok up to 100psi and have been
      in use for 2 winters with no problems. Please let me know if you find other
      to back this up or have information as to why the say they should not be
      used.

      The fittings for Pexlex are different from regular PEX.
      You need to use fittings specially degd for Pex-Al-Pex.

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      I have not used the ½", so I can't really say, however, if the same logic fits for the ¾", they are different. The OD for the Pex-AL-Pex is larger due to the layer of Aluminum, besides the fittings for Pex-Al-Pex we all compression, not crimp.
      Thanks

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      No. You have to use the fittings that are designed to work with your
      particular PEX. Some fittings will work with different types but not all.
      Consult with the manufacturer of the PEX you are using to insure you have the
      correct parts.

      A:

      No.different types of pex require different fittings.some pex also require you to prep the tube(strip the outer jacket and or bevel/chamfer the edges) before assembly.

      Answered on 3/6/2012 by Another PexSupply Customer

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      The fittings required for PEX-AL-PEX tubing are different from the ones you need with standard PEX (i.e. PEX without an embedded layer of aluminum). With PEX-AL-PEX, you're limited to certain press and compression fittings.

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      A chamfering tool is recommended for use with PEX-AL-PEX prior to making a fitting connection. The tool creates a beveled edge on the inside of the tubing so that the o-ring sets properly.

      The aluminum barrier in this PEX-AL-PEX tubing serves as the oxygen barrier. This is true of all PEX-AL-PEX to our knowledge.

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      With PEX-AL-PEX you would need to cut the kinked portion of the tubing and insert an appropriate fitting at that location. It cannot be repaired with a heat gun as PEX-A tubing can be.

    Q:

    What is the inside diameter of the 1 inch pex-al-pex tubing? You would think 1 inch, yet It appears to be slightly larger than 1 inch and is larger in diameter than the 1 inch regular Pex. I want to be sure that the Pex-Al-Pex 1 inch fittings will work.

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      The listed size for PEX-AL-PEX tubing corresponds to its inside diameter. PEX-AL-PEX has a larger ID than standard PEX (1" standard PEX, for example, has a .862" ID). PEX-AL-PEX is only compatible with compression fittings and press fittings that are designed for use with PEX-AL-PEX.
