No type of PEX tubing is approved for use with natural gas.
Not sure about this one. I would check with your gas company and local codes. WKM
No, I would not even attempt it.
I would recommend flexible stainless steel piping with the o-ring fittings for all things pertaining to natural or lp gas. Regards Wilmer Gingerich
absolutely NOT. There is a plastic piping that can be used, but it is specifically used for gas and all joints are fused (welded)at 500 deg f. You should check NFPA 54 and 58.
PEX is not approved for use with compressed air. Its pressure ratings are for pressurized water.
i would not advise using it for compressed air. I do not think it has a rating for use with compressed air. They make a kit that you can purchase from northern tool that is made for that purpose.
Pex isn't rated or intended for compressed air. The pressure rating on pex tubing also varies with the temperature, so on warmer days, it might not hold up to the pressure.
It could be used but not recommended. Due to the fact that its not made to be handled on a daily basis and not to be exposed to sunlight. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID
Pressure rating of PEX tubing is highly temperature dependant. Typical pressure ratings for PEX are · 200°F at 80 psi · 180°F at 100 psi · 120°F at 130 psi · 75°F at 150 psi PEX should not be used for main distribution air lines as the heated air discharged from an air compressor raises the operating temperature and thus reduces the pressure rating of the PEX tubing. Use of PEX after a air dyer / cooler and pressure regulator may be feasible in some instillations. Local codes may restrict PEX use from this application as well.
PEX can be installed in concrete slabs. This tubing would work if it is a domestic water application, but oxygen-barrier PEX should generally be used for space-heating.
yes ipour a driveway over mind about 3 yrs ago, and I used nothing to protect it but the tubing itself, had no problems yet, good thick stuff
You can, but only with threaded adapters when transitioning from galvanized.
Yes. Pex can be used with any other type of pie. However, if the galvanized pipe is more than 25 years old, the galvanized pipe may need an inspection. It can corrode and eventually fail.
You can use PEX with any kind of piping, but you certainly can't connect copper to galvanized pipe without using a special fitting to prevent galvanic action. You never want to connect dissimilar metals together without some kind of barrier between them. Regards Wilmer Gingerich
The different metals will cause problems of their own, but you can and depending on what shape the galvanize pipe is in it could last for years Sent from the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro, an AT&T LTE smartphone
Yes, you can, provided you get the right fittings. There are solder-on fittings that can be attached to the copper pipes, and on the other side of the fitting is a barbed end designed for pex. There are also SharkBite fittings that don't require soldering. On the galvanized side, you can get a pex to threaded fitting, then use a dielectric union to attach it to the galvanized to avoid corrosion between the metals.
I haven't heard of any problems with using PEX pipe with copper or galvanized pipe. It does seem odd that whoever remodeled your house didn't use PEX in the remodel also. Regardless I don't think you'll have any problems related to the differing pipes.
yes, you just need a adapter that connects the pex to the copper or galvanized.
Oxygen barrier tubing is used for closed heating systems, where non-oxygen barrier tubing is used for potable lines such as sinks, showers, etc. Rifeng oxygen barrier tubing is not rated for potable water use, and most building codes require oxygen barrier tubing for heating systems, so the two types should not be used interchangeably.
PEX is approved for direct burial, but you should always check with any applicable local codes to ensure that the practice is not prohibited in your area. You should embed the tubing in sand or sleeve it in a conduit line if the soil is rocky, and always bury the tubing below the frost line. The size that you should use depends on the application and flow rate requirements, but 1/2" would normally be too small for a 300' run.
You can use PEX for your underground supply line. Use at least ¾”, but consider 1”. Be sure to bury the line below the freeze line. Good luck on your project. WKM
It probably could be as long as it was buried since it can't handle UV from the sun but I wouldn't recommend it. You should probably use 1" flexible PVC.
Use 3/4" this stuff is great for that
EX is fine for underground use. Be certain to bury the line below the frost line. 300' is a long distance. I would consider 1 inch diameter. I would also consider using copper for the riser into the mobile home if freezing is possible. You can heat copper to thaw it (although it may split if the pipe gets frozen solid). PEX is difficult to thaw.
The size of the pex would have to be based on the size of the pump and desired gallons per minute of flow (1" would be my starting point). While pex can be buried and used underground, black poly pipe is usually cheaper.
Yes, use a minimum size of 1 inch.
Simple answer, "No." Mike Beanland
white pex is ok to use but to stay in standards should use RED witch is color code for HOT water blue is for COLD this stops the gessing game later on
Na, color doesn't matter. You just need to make sure that the PEX is rated for hot temperatures. It is nice to color cold lines blue and hot lines red, but it is just a convenience.
You can use any color, but I would recommend using RED. WKM
The color does not matter it is the same tubing. Red ,Blue White is just so you can keep track of Hot Cold and Main. Scott
It make no difference which color you use. I prefer to color code and use red for hot and blue for cold. Cheers Jay
No PEX on the market today is UV-resistant. We would recommend sleeving the PEX in PVC for any outdoor runs.
I would just run it inside some gray electrical conduit to protect it from UV
We see no reason why it couldn't. Just keep in mind that PEX cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
Yes PEX can be used on boats, and is commonly done so by many boat manufactures in the U.S. They commonly use a product supplied by the company Whale, however the tubing is the same. My only word of caution is to be careful if installing it in an aluminum boat with the copper crimp fittings.. You would not want copper and aluminum with the addition of salt water together, as the galvanic corrosion could be detrimental to the integrity of the hull.
Yes pex is fine for this purpose. For one toilet and sink 3/8 would be fine but best just to stick with 1/2 since fittings are easire to find at the hardware store.
This tubing does not have an oxygen barrier, so you should not use it as part of a closed-loop hydronic system.
NO. If you use this you risk damaging your boiler and other components. you will need a pex with an oxygen barrier. look for pex under the Heating heading. PEX - Tubing - Pex Heating.
