Pex Pipe

PEX Pipe is widely used for plumbing applications. PEX Plumbing uses PEX Tubing for supply lines in place of traditional copper tubing. The PEX Tubing for plumbing we sell includes Rifeng, Aquapex and Viega PEX Tubing. The tubing is color coated for hot/cold line water line distinction.

Aquapex is the leading brand of potable water PEX Tubing. Uponor Wirsbo manufactures this brand of PEX Tubing. Aquapex may be used in radiant heat applications where there are no ferrous components. However, Wirsbo Aquapex is more commonly used for PEX Plumbing applications. Aquapex meets ASTM F876 and F877, and is certified to NSF standards 14 and 61. It is rated by the PPI: 200°F at 80 psi, 180°F at 100 psi, and 73.4°F at 160 psi. Aquapex Tubing comes in white, red, and blue. The tubing is exactly the same just color coated for installation purposes for hot and cold lines.
