Robert, No, most PEX is not rated for long term exposure to UV. It's recommended that you cover it, so it is not exposed.
Bluefin's PEX is manufactured in China.
No, pex is not rated for natural gas. It is for water. It cannot be in direct sun light or it will break down.
Yes, this tubing is rated for 180 degrees and can be used for domestic water use.
Hello, No, you would need a Grade A PEX to use with the expander system.
You would want to use a Pex tubing with an oxygen barrier. An example would be SKU: SKU: 075-300-OXY.
This is rated for 180 degrees F at 100 Psi. It is rated at 73.4 degrees F at 160 Psi. The minimum would be determined by the antifreeze protection added.
None that i know of
I have never seen it happen yet.
We have a small cottage in Ontario. A porcupine or ground hog chewed quite a few holes in the pex that is in the crawlspace. I have not heard of mice chewing pex, though.
yes but usually romex is a smaller hole
I think this is a question for your inspector as these rules seem to vary depending upon local codes. A call to the local building dept may be in order. If it were me, I would provide some protection where it passes through the joist and is in contact with the romex because the pex may move with the different temperatures and rub.
