Q: is the PEX material approved by de construction codes?
Asked by rosario 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPEX tubing for plumbing is approved in all 50 states and just about every major municipality. It is approved in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as far as we know, but we'd recommend that you confirm this with a local code official.
It's dependent upon your locality, but in general, yes. Best to talk to a local plumber or local coding agency. There are different grades of PEX out there, but most likely your locality will adhere to some version of the IBC for its PEX standard: http://www.icc-es.org/criteria/pdf_files/ac122.pdf

Asked by Mark 14 years ago

Q: what is the difference between pex crimp and hydro pex crimp?
Asked by bill 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThey are the same and they are interchangeable. HydroPEX is just one brand of PEX crimp fittings.
Q: Can I run PEX the same way my existing copper is run in my crawl space? I would like to avoid the manifold system altogether.
Asked by Mike 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou can run PEX lines in a similar fashion to copper. Although centrally located 'home-run' style manifolds are popular for domestic water PEX plumbing, they are by no means a necessity.
Q: Can you bury PEX directly in the ground and should it be sleeved or protected when roughing in a concrete foundation?
Asked by Luke B 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPEX can be buried directly in the ground. It is a good idea to sleeve PEX at any penetrations from concrete slabs, as linear expansion can cause wear on the tubing in these spots.
Q: Can you retrofit to old galvanized piping, and do they make fittings for this?
Asked by Uncle Buck 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou can retrofit to old galvanized piping. To do this, you would need PEX x female threaded fittings.
Been there done that. I suggest PEX x "MALE" NPT Ends(where you can). The Galvy "MALE" End THREADS tend/are/maybe in many cases worn down on a whole. "FEMALE" Galvy ends tend to "behave/couple", and are less stressed and worn.....as a "whole".

Asked by charles burks 16 years ago
