Description
Bluefin PEX-b pipe is produced with crosslinked polyethylene. Crosslinking is obtained through a chemical process that increases the bonds between macromolecules to form a more complex structure than the normal polyethylene. Due to the crosslinking, the polyethylene's performance is greatly enhanced and maintains the excellent properties of thermoplastics. Offering excellent corrosion resistance, incredible flexibility and unusual toughness, Bluefin PEX-b pipe allows for fast and easy installation.

152 QuestionsQ: can 1" pex be used in a water well with submersible pump 140 ft. deep?
Asked by hairy 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIt can, as long as the tubing is not exposed to direct sunlight and the fluid does not exceed the maximum temperature and pressure ratings for PEX.
Uponor Aquapex tubing is rated for internal pressures of 160psi @ 73F. 140 feet of lift to atmosphere is about 61psi. (2.3ft/psi) If you are filling a pressure tank to 40psi, the pressure at the pump would be ~100psi. So, considering pressure only, the Aquapex should work. I will assume that the pump is supported by a stainless steel cable so the pipe is not also supporting the weight of the pump. I also assume that the pipe is attached to the cable at regular intervals so that the normal expansion and contraction of the pipe will not lead to pipe damage.
Yes
My only concern would be the size. 1" doesn't seem large enough to me. Please make sure this size is adequate before using. Otherwise, the PEX should work fine. WKM
Q: What is the advantage of PEX-a over PEX-b if there is one? The warranty is the same so why not spend less money? My application is setting up a small plumbing system for my manufacturing business using rainwater collection system. Thanks

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPEX-A tubing is manufactured to have better shape memory. This gives it better freeze-resistance and makes it easier to work with (uncoil, run lines, etc.). You can fix kinks in PEX-A by using a heat gun, and only PEX-A works with expansion-style fittings. Despite these advantages, PEX-B is sufficient for most applications (especially those that are small, use small tubing, or take place in warm areas).
Q: Psi of this tubing? Looking for 160 psi, 1/2" pex tubing. Also need couplers.

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffRifeng PEX tubing is rated up to 160psi at 73°F. It can handle 100psi with 180°F fluid temperatures. You can use crimp, PEX press, push-fit, or compression fittings with this PEX-B tubing.
You are ok with this pressure, but not at elevated temperature. Good Luck on your project.

Q: can this product be used under a slab?
Asked by Robert 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffRifeng PEX tubing is approved for in-slab installations. This tubing is designed for plumbing applications and does not have an oxygen barrier, so we would not recommend it for use in a closed-loop heating system.
Yes, it will not be harmed by being encapsulated in cement. However, it does not posses an oxygen barrier. That means that oxygen atoms will be able to migrate from the air into the liquid inside the tubing. this can be a problem if the liquid is going to be circulated through a boiler or some other type of recirculating heating system. Normally the oxygen is such a system is depleted through the process of corrosion of components inside the system. Once depleted corrosion stops. If oxygen continues to be introduced corrosion will continue... not good. For that reason we usually look for tubing with an oxygen barrier for heating systems and use this type tubing to supply water to our faucets. hope this helps. Steve Miracle Montpelier, Vermont
yes
If you are using it for "potable water" ie; drinking or bathing water then it will be fine in a slab. If you are doing radiant loops though you need he-pex tubing! This tubing is for domestic water only!

Q: i need pex for in floor (crete) heating application. what temp. rating should be used. thank you
Asked by ray 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffAll PEX tubing is rated to at least 180°F. You should not use fluid over 150°F in a concrete slab because doing so could make the floor surface too hot to walk on and damage the concrete.
Any Pex will work for heating applications. The blue is no different than the red, or white, or black. It is simply colored for ease of identification in potable water use.There is oxygen barrier pex and non barrier. It is typically prefered to use oxygen barrier tubing in radiant applications, as then one can use any heat source and circulators, etc. If non barrier tubing is used, you have to make sure you have no ferrous metal in the system. (no cast iron boilers, no cast circulators, no steel pipe, etc... must all be brass, stainless or plastic) Hope that helps. Ben Schneider
Use pex that is made specially for heating. It is different than the pex that is used for domestic water applications: an oxygen barrier is built in. Otherwise oxygen will diffuse through the pipe and damage the boiler.

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPEX is not rated for use with compressed air.
the are no ratings for pex for air pressure, only water pressure. as such, it is not listed for air and should not be used.
Q: I have young fruit trees and flowering plants in the woods around my home Home base is nearest water source, can I use this pipe as a wateing hose that will reach needed areas approx 800' max.
Asked by dennis 14 years ago
Add your answer
I use about 500' of 3/4" Pex to water livestock. Depending on your flow needs, 1/2" should work fine. Keep in mind that there may be substantial pressure loss at 800' and you might want to consider 3/4" line. My rough calculation, assuming no change in elevation, and a straight tube, for 1/2" pipe, 800', with a starting pressure of 50psi would have approximately 10psi at the output. For comparison, a 3/4" pipe will have approximately 25psi at the output. Also, unless you bury, or otherwise shade, the tubing, the water in the tube will likely get quite hot from the sun.
Dennis, this pipe would not be ideal for that purpose. Direct sunlight is detrimental to pex pipe. You would be better served to use 100psi black polyethylene pipe. It would be less expensive as well. It is available at any DIY home center or hardware store. Keep in mind, at 800 feet, flow will be very slow. Consider upsizing to 3/4 or 1 inch pipe for that distance. Hope that helps.
Yes, but you will get very little flow, google “friction loss in pex pipe” and you will get some data to allow you to calculate how much water you will get out the other end of a 800’ 1/2” pipe. Pex will not hold up in the sun so you will have to bury it. Jeff
This is NOT a good application for pex pipe for several reasons: pex does not tolerate ultraviolet so direct sunlight is no good. Pex is great pipe for many reasons, but it is too stiff to use as a moveable hose.
I would use 3/4" pex and a good pressure pump and a check valve to carry the volume needed for the water for the long run. Make sure to keep it out of sunlight. I would also recomend using heat pex. It has an oxygen barrier. Sent rom my Samsung Epic™ 4G
Q: Can PEX be fed through existing copper lines to eliviate breaking up the pool and surrounding deck? If so can it make a 90 degree turns without kinking?
Asked by James 14 years ago
Add your answer
I have no experience with using PEX in this manner. Sorry. You can make 90 degree turns, but you should use a bend support. WKM
Feeding it through would not be a problem. It's the 90 degree turn that would stop you. No can do if you have to push through a 90.
Pex can't make the tight turns that a standard 90 degree elbow does. -Aaron
Yes. If the diameter of the copper allows enough room. The radius turns will reuire at least an inch greater then the circumfrence of the pex going through it.
No to the 90 degree turns. 1" requires almost 24" in bend radius. Most often 90 degree turns require elbows. And feeding it through a chase is tough since the fittings creating the chase have sharp edges catching the pex.
Definitely will not go through a 90 and even if it could, it would exceed the minimum radius allowed. I would see a problem feeding it through a copper sleeve, but will it be adequate size?
It depends on the size of the copper line you are feeding it through but copper 90 degree bends tend to hav e a very tight radius and personally I do not know of any product approved for potable water in a 1" size that will be flexible enough to negotiate a 90 deg bend even if the copper pipe was 10" in diameter!
The 1" blue is very stiff and will not make a 90 degree turn. 90 degree turns need to be made with a brass or plastic fitting. O.D. is 1 1/8" so it will not go through a 1" type L copper line.

If you only want water for occasional cleanings, etc. ¾” should do it. If you anticipate more volume needs, I would go with 1”. WKM
