You can use any brand of PEX-A tubing with ProPEX expansion fittings, but keep in mind that Rifeng tubing is PEX-B and AquaPEX is the only type of PEX-A plumbing PEX that we currently sell.
It is my opinion that you can use any brand Pex A tubing with the ProPex fittings. Good luck. WKM
Rifeng PEX is rated up to 180°F at 100psi.
For plumbing, PEX is limited to 180° F
180 degrees is the recommended high end range
The maximum temperature rating varies among manufacturers and the individual product lines they each create. In addition, the max temp decreases as the max pressure increases. Wirsbo Ex: Rating: 73.4 degrees F at 160 psi, 180 degrees F at 100 psi, and 200 degrees F at 80 psi You should find this rating printed on the PEX.
up to 200' def. F. if the pressure is less thn 80psi.
PEX tubing is rated up to 160psi at 73°F, 100 psi at 180°F, and 80 psi at 200°F.
Typically the rating is: 80psi @ 200 degrees 100psi @ 180 degrees 145psi @ 73 degrees You should check with the manufacturer for specifics. I cant tell you how far i have pushed it, but i can tell you there is a HUGE safety margin built in!! Sent from my iPhone
PEX-A tubing has better shape recognition. This makes it more flexible, freeze-resistant and easier to work with. You can fix kinks in PEX-A with by applying heat. Only PEX-A tubing is compatible with expansion-type fittings. PEX-B tubing is generally less expensive, and either type of tubing is appropriate for most applications.
That's a complicated question. More flexibility would definitely be preferable when plumbing and older structure. However a proprietary expansion connection system can be cost prohibitive and also possibly undesirable in colder climates. Pex-B is the more affordable, however the rigidity is more difficult from every aspect especially as the size increases. I can make one recommendation with this limited amount of information. If an insulated tube is desirable for a hot run to a dishwasher for example. Paying the extra for insulated pipe is a good idea, in my opinion. The R factor is much greater with factory insulated pipe. I personally needed both for working on my projects. Hope this has a benefit to you.
They can. The colors on PEX tubing have nothing to do with their ratings or approved uses. The red and blue colors make it easier to identify hot and cold lines, but you can use red for cold, blue for hot, and any color for the supply line.
So long as the white pex is approved for "potable water" I see no problem!

The coloring of pex is done to make it easier to identify cold water lines vs. hot water lines. Otherwise, there is no difference in the application of colored pex vs. non-colored pex. The usage of pex outdoors and the burying of pex is governed by your local building department - you should contact your building inspector to determine the permitted usage for your location. They may also suggest a better alternative material to use - flexible PVC, copper, etc.
The questions "supply line" sounds like a potable requirement. Blue (and red) PEX are usually marked and marketed for potable applications while white is PEX is often marked and marketed for non-potable. If light can reach the water, algae will grow. Safest bet is to check the temp and pressure ratings of the PEX to match your application. If the application requires potable, contact the manufacturer. An underground line would be a hard problem to solve down the road.
Yes, Pex is rated for direct burial. It should be buried in a small stone, sand bed and below the frost line. I placed mine inside a PVC conduit so if later replacement is ever necessary, I won't have to redig the trench.
I never used either of these pex products for underground. I normally use the black well pipe which is similar to pex but much thicker and designed for direct burial. Hope this helps. Mark
Yes. There is no difference in the two other than the color.
SharkBite fittings can be used with any standard PEX tubing, including the Rifeng brand.
Absolutely.....that's the beauty of sharkbite. One fitting that solves many problems. "Can shark bite fittings be used with PEX Tubing?"
Yes. I used them in plumbing my house. Quite a bit more expensive, but they work fine.
Yes, shark bite fittings can be used, but in my opinion, it would not be cost effective. These fittings would be a good way to join pex to copper or cpcv if you need to. WKM
Yes. They work well. Simply make a clean, square cut on your pex and then push the pex into your fitting about 1". That is it.
Yes I used them in my basement shower install. Worked great
Shark bite fittings worked perfectly on my pex project. I built my own hot and cold manifolds with soldered copper then ran everything off of there with pex and shark bites. T he fittings press right on and can be released easily with a small plastic u-shaped tool if necessary. I don't know how they work but it's like magic! The same shark bite connector works on both copper pipe and pex! I will use shark bites for everything from here on out! Pex Supply i s the place to shop on-line. The web site navigates easily, the prices are reasonable and everything was delivered faster than expected. You can't go wrong with Pex Supply! Patrick Murray
Yes. I have found that they work great, however, you have to make sure the pipe goes straight into them, and you clamp it so that there is no "side" load on the fitting, or it could leak just a little.
Yep. And copper and CPUs. Sent from my iPad
Yes, I have used them several times. Remember to mark your stab depth on the pex pipe prior to stabbing. Good luck.
I don't know. I can tell you it it being used to feed into and out of my water heater post pressure control valve and post expansion tank. I hope this helps you. I redid the plumbing of my entire 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house. I'm very happy with the product.
not sure, would default to the UL Listing and see if it is listed as a Drain, Waste, Vent pipe. also would think that the ID is too small.
If the inside diameter of the pipe is 1" there is no reason why you could not use it. However you will need a shut-off valve and a swing-check on the vertical riser from the tank. You may also have difficulty in maintaining "pitch" when you switch from the verical (riser) to the horizontal (header) part of the drain age system. You need to maintain 1/4" per foot of pitch minimum on the horizontal. Local codes may prohibit the use, but personally I see no reason why not!
Absolutely yes! Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4GLTE smartphone
I don't see why you couldn't.
If the manufacturer permits use of a 1" pvc discharge line, then yes this 1" pex could be used in its place--following the manufacturer's specifications of maximum length.
very simply....yes....
The only purpose is to make things easier for installers and homeowners. Blue PEX and red PEX can be used to differentiate between cold and hot lines for plumbing, but there is nothing about the tubing that would prevent you from using red PEX for all the lines.
Unfortunately, there is no PEX tubing that is rated for use with compressed air.
PEX is rated at temperatures up to 200°F.
