I am new to PEX plumbing, but after a considerable amount of research; I determined that PEX-a was right for me. I designed my own plan using manifolds, aquapex, pro-fittings, etc.. Everything was as easy to install as what the PEXSUPPLY videos showed. Uponer has made great products that I would recommend to everyone.

      A:

      You could use it for this purpose but only technically. It, and all fittings, are designed for supply water use. I believe most code does not allow this use either. I assume you have a tricky bend not able to allow for traditional installs. I would turn to this pex tubing as a waste line only after all other methods are exhausted and there are no alternatives. Keeping in mind, this would likely be an illegal connection.

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      You cannot use anything for waste that is not rated DWV (drain waste
      vent). You will not find any DWV that is flexible because it would be
      impossible to maintain proper minimum slope for drainage. The easiest and
      least expensive DWV to install is ABS (black plastic). However, check with
      your local code official to make sure it's allowed in your area. Some
      local codes exclude ABS. Best of luck with your renovation.

      It's very simple to install.  I ordered it from PexSupply around three years ago. I have had no problems at all so far(knock on wood).  I used the stainles steel rings and the tool was around $40 but it was around $18 at the home remodle stores.  You just need to make sure you order your fixtures with the crimp fittings or just buy the adapters and solder them in.  Last would be to follow all manufacture installation instrictions.

      AquaPEX is graded PEX-A, which is the only type of PEX tubing that works with expansion-type fittings. PEX-A still works with any other type of PEX fitting, however, including the crimp style.

      Answered on 5/1/2012 by PexSupply Staff from NY

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      Working with per is not difficult. However that is not to say just attempt
      it without working knowledge of plumbing. If yo can go for the ProPex. It is
      far superior. The device is costly, but there are ones for less you just
      have to look. I had the hand tool, and it was a lot of work to deal with.
      You can always buy it and have it for the future or sell it on ebay
      afterwards. Cost is about 190 bucks, worth every penny. Crimp rings are not
      as good as the expander fittings. Also the two are not totally
      interchangeable so pick one and stick with it. If you have no plumbing
      experience I advise against doing it yourself. You have to pressure test the
      whole system with air, not water, to make sure it can hold full pressure for
      a few days. If you fail to test the pressure, you may have some serious
      issues happen when you turn the water on. Also buy the plates that can be
      nailed into the wall to protect from nails and screws going throughout them
      when you put trim up. Plan your system out well. Balance pressures between
      areas. Simply because it is easy to work with doesn't mean every homeowner
      should. If you install in improperly you could have major flooding and
      system failure which insurance companies wouldn't like.
      Hope that helps

      I would use crimp rings as I feel more confident in this type of
      installation than expansion. Check with the manufacturer to be certain.

      Answered on 5/1/2012 by Another PexSupply Customer

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      I like Uponor products, they are high quality and the tubing is more flexible than Sharkbite tube and others. While you can use crimp fittings you will not be taking advantage of the material properties that crosslinking affords---namely an incredible memory.  When you use a crimp tubing over a fitting you run the risk that over time the material under the crimp will gradually migrate away from the site resulting in less sealing pressure at the fitting. When you expand Auquapex it will constantly want to go back to its original shape and thus constantly exerting sealing pressure at the fitting.   I agree that even the hand operated tool is expensive but there are options. Ebay and second hand tool stores often will have these tools with the down economy tradesmen are cashing in.  Usually you can find them under $200.

      Rick,
      This is water supply line and is meant for water use only. It is rated for
      160 psi at room temperature and as the temperature rises the psi get
      lower. Most shops use steel or thick-walled pvc solid lines and air hose
      rated at much higher psi than aquapex.

      Fellow Shopper,  Each tubing has temp and pressure ratings.  Check the manufacturers website and you'll know.  Personally I would find a tubing that has a somewhat higher pressure rating than the actual pressure that you're going to use it at.  Also check the ratings of the fittings.  I have installed air lines for auto body shops using type L copper it works and has not had any problems.   Good Luck, Pat D...     www.waterpowerliving.com

      A:

      Greetings,
      First off I would recommend 1/2 or 3/8 size at least. Since the wall thickness of the PEX is greater than copper you need to step up one size for the same flow rate. As for connecting there are several quick release compression type fittings available that avoid having to buy a special tool and make it easily repairable if the need were to arise. Hope that helps.

      None, most PEX piping is not maid for extended periods of time exposed to UV. I guess it depends on how long youwant it to last. The colors are more for designation of usage.

      Unfortunately there is no UV-resistant PEX tubing on the market today. We'd recommend that you cover the PEX, perhaps sleeving it in PVC. No PEX is freeze-proof, but AquaPEX tubing is rated PEX-A and offers good freeze-resistance.

      None. You must protect the per from direct sunlight. The UV can break down

      Hi,
      I can't speak of the Viega crimp connectors other than they should work. I have to ask if you have the crimp tool & clamps you'll need to do the job? The tool itself is around $450 so unless you have the tool or know someone who does, look at the Shark Bites. If you really want Viega, I see they have a "smart connect" fitting now that mimics the Shark Bites. I did my entire cabin with Aquapex & Shark Bites for less than the cost of the crimp tool! I have total confidence in the SB fittings. Good luck with your project.

      I have asked a plumber that very question, and he said it does not work-- you have to use Uponor-style fittings (no clamping).

      I Believe the fitting will work. You will Void warranty be not using
      Uponor fittings. Hope this helps.

      yes, the two will work fine together... It's done 1,000 times a day with no issues. Only problem is in the event of a failure. Neither manufacturer will provide warranty coverage because of mixing the two brands.

      Yes, you can use crimp fitting with Uponor PEX but you can't use Uponor fittings with crimp rings.

      A:

      it is more translucent... you will be able to see the water fill the tubing along with any air bubbles that pass through. Also, I will darken over time and can turn to a light brown or near orange color depending on the water quality.

      I would say translucent. You can see the water in the pex pipe.

      I believe it would fall into the category of translucent.
      It allows some light through.

      There is no translucent pex pipe. The process makes it opaque.

      A:

      White AquaPEX is more translucent. It's difficult to see much through both layers of the tube, but you can see your finger, for example, if you stick it inside.

      My last answer assumed that the ID was 2". I found a site that shows it to be 1.629". Total weight of water S/B 272 lbs.

      Answered on 4/4/2012 by Dave from Tucson, AZ

    • A:

      Area of a circle is pi*r^2. for a 2 inch pipe the radius is 1 inch. Therefore the cross section area is 3.14159 square inches. Multiply that by 300ft (in inches - 300*12)=11309.7 cubic inches =48.96 gallons (divide by 231). each gallon weighs 8.35 pounds for a total of 408.8 pounds (water only - add pipe weight). Therefore the hangers will have to support about 20 pounds each assuming they are attached every 10 feet.

      A:

      AquaPEX tubing is approved for direct burial, but it's always a good idea to bury it below the frost line to prevent water from freezing in the lines. Information regarding the depth of the frost line in your area can normally be obtained from your water company or municipality.
