Product Highlights
Description
Oxygen barrier PEX-b tubing has the same properties as non-barrier PEX-b pipes, but it prevents oxygen and other elements from infiltrating and damaging delicate heating system components. For example, it keeps boilers from rusting. Bluefin PEX-b pipe is made of polyethelene which is cross-linked to enhance performance and maintain the properties of thermoplastics. Furthermore, this tubing can be installed in a variety of ways, such as using the crimp, clamp, or fitting systems. Bluefin offers a 25-year warranty on the product.

Q: How abrasion resistant is the O2 Barrier coating? How thick is it? What material is it made of? What % total loss of coating would constitute a hazard to your cast iron components? Are minor scrapes a problem? I intend to use it for connection from hot H2O oil fired boiler (~180F H2O) to an air handler, 32ft round trip. Thanks.

Its difficult to get info on pex. I am not a professional but I have used it in my restaurant for hydronic heating. I work closely with my plumber and hvac guy on all this stuff because I am always looking to save money on energy. It is great to install in concrete for heated concrete floors. I will be using it for water cooled air conditioning next spring. It is very durable and not affected by minor scrapes. I believe it is a pvc based product. My oponion is that you will be fine in the application you are using. I have it connected to radiators and industrial hydronic heaters with blower attached. works just fine. the simple answer is you can forget copper and go with pex. it insulates the water as well.
Q: Can I tie this pipe to the concrete wire with tie wire for my floor heating. I have done it before with uphonor piping
Asked by Bill 12 years ago
Add your answer
In our shop floor we tied the pex directly to the rebar with tie wire. The concrete contractor said thats the way he does it.
Like most per tubing there should not be an issue using tie wire to rebar or wire mesh but best to consult manufacturing installation guide and requirements just to be sure . Sent from my iPad
Q: can I use this line to run water to my house from the main village water line and what is the psi? Also I need to run this 600 feet.
Asked by Sandy 12 years ago

Verified Reply- Supplyhouse StaffNo, this PEX can not be used for potable water applications as it has an oxygen barrier layer that is not NSF-61 approved. The tubing PSI will vary depending on the temperature of the water inside, please see the submittal sheet on product page for more details.
Q: I have an existing "open system; i.e. the domestic HW and the radiant mix. Is there an oxygen barrier pex that is also rated for potable systems?

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffRifeng Oxygen Barrier PEX is not approved for use with potable water. Uponor hePEX is the only type of oxygen barrier PEX we sell that is approved for potable water.
Q: Hello I was looking to use this product for heating my pool I have looked and found hstn f2023 rating for domestic water referring to chlorine levels of 4 ppm, but I am wondering if it will stand up to chlorine concentrations of a typical pool Thanks
Asked by LJ 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffPEX is generally not able to handle the chlorine levels of typical pools, so we would not recommend PEX for this application.
Normal pool chlorine levels are about 1 to 1.5 ppm. A typical shocking or super chlorination raises the ppm to 10. But the chlorine level that high is short lived. I personally feel that you should be fine with that application. But I'm not the company tech guy.
Q: is the pro pex joining system worth the investment? i am doing the under floor heating system and probally the plumbing ststem with pex products and as of today using rifeng tubing
Asked by dan 12 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe ProPEX system is generally considered the best among PEX connection systems, but keep in mind that it only works with PEX-A tubing (Rifeng is PEX-B). ProPEX fittings provide a wider inside diameter than any other type of PEX fittings. ProPEX tools are costly, so it may not be worth the investment for a small, one-time job.
I did under floor heating and after reading about all methods to join PEX, I decided on the crimp system. Spen $100 on a crimping tool and never regretted it. That's all I will use in the future. Mihai Beffa
I'm not familiar with that system but if there is a way to join the pipe with less restriction it is worth it.
