PEX cannot be exposed to sunlight, as it is not UV-resistant. Painting the tubing is not recommended, but you might want to insulate or sleeve the PEX, perhaps with PVC. PEX is more freeze-resistant than rigid piping because it is able to expand. That said, PEX can burst if water is allowed to freeze inside it.
PEX is rated at temperatures down to -300°F, but liquid must not be allowed to freeze in the tubing. If liquid freezes inside the tubing, PEX could burst. Water freezes at about 32°F.
Yes. Items 6RXL038058, 6RXL048058, and 6RXL100058 are three options we sell that you can use.
Sure, but you need to support it more closely spaced than copper pipe and it usually is secured flush to a joist so it could be a pain. Plus pex pipe isn't as conductive as copper so heat loss/gain isn't a big issue
Rifeng PEX tubing is rated to 160 psi at 73°F and 100 psi at 180°F.
No, expansion fittings are only compatible with PEX-A tubing. Rifeng is rated PEX-B. Rifeng tubing is compatible with crimp, clamp, compression, PEX press, and push-fit fittings.
This tubing would work for that application. Just make sure to bury the tubing below the frost line to prevent freezing in the line.
PEX is approved for direct burial. 3/4" and 1" are the most common sizes for the house supply line.
No, PEX is not approved for use with gas.
You'll need to use PEX with an oxygen barrier. This particular coil is designed for and approved for use in plumbing systems. Plumbing systems always use new water, so an oxygen barrier would be useless.
Most people use either silicone or a rubber shrink sleeve. You will want to have about a 1/8" - 1/4" of play in the sleeve.
