What is PEX A tubing?

The term PEX A comes from European standards and is not a rating system of any kind. PEX A tubing refers to PEX Tubing made using the Engel Method of crosslinking. This can get quite technical but for those who are interested we will provide information on the Engel method in more detail.

According to www.pfahome.org "The "Engel" or peroxide method employs a special extruder with a plunger action where peroxide is added to the base resin and through a combination of pressure and high temperature the cross-linking takes place as the tubing is produced."

WIrsbo PEX Tubing and Mr. PEX Tubing are PEX A Tubing made using the Engel Method.
