Advantages of using PEX pipes
1. Cost of PEX pipes is cheaper copper pipe.
2. PEX is durable, guaranteed service life – 50 years.
3. Low thermal conductivity – reduces heat loss and reduce condensation on the outer surface of the pipe.
4. Low probability of failure in the pipeline freezing, as this does not occur and the destruction of polyethylene pipe increases in diameter, acquiring the former size when defrosting liquid.
5. Lightweight – easy assembly work, especially in cramped conditions.
6. Construction and reconstruction of water supply and PEX supply using PEX tubing saves up to 40% of funds spent compared to traditional methods.
7. PEX pipe have high corrosion and chemical resistance, is not afraid of contact with aggressive media.
8. Welds and connections are secure during the entire lifetime.
9. Butt welding is much cheaper, easier and takes less time.
10. PEX can be stretched without losing their quality.
PEX tubing in 5 – 7 times lighter than steel, therefore:
1. Small movements of pipes during installation does not require the lifting mechanisms.
2. One vehicle carries a 5 – 7 times more than polyethylene tubes than steel.
3. PEX facilitate assembly work, especially in cramped conditions.
In addition:
PEX tubing – a reliable shield against the microorganisms and bacteria of the inner layer does not give any water contaminants.
