The bend radius is 6 times the outside diameter of the tubing for all three sizes.
Yes, you can use this tubing in attics, however we always recommend to follow standard plumbing installation practices.
The maximum PSI rating is 160. It depends on the temperature of the water: 200 degrees F at 80 PSI, 180 degrees F at 100 PSI and 73.4 degrees F at 160 PSI.
You can use any of the PEX tubing listed under the plumbing section. We recommend the AquaPEX tubing since it is grade A quality and the most flexible.
It meets the same standards when it comes to plumbing applications. The tubing is only rated for use with water and you will have to check local code to make sure it will pass inspection in your specific area.
I have installed a lot of 1" type L copper underground. This product (in my estimate) is tougher then type L copper and will be less affected by soil chemistry (I just retired from 50 years in aerospaces engineering>>materials specialist). With stainless crimps and brass fittings as I've just installed, I would think that this will exceed type L standards; however, if you are in a code compliance job, check with you local inspection office as local codes are different in different areas. Most due to lack of funds are way behind technology and affected by interest groups who do not like this material because it is very easy to install. Thoughout house, my inspector (now retired) recommended that I go this route in the water system installation. Another problem with underground installation in my area, is gophers that may chew at it as they have already chewed through my electrical service cable and phone line plastic insulation. They may think that it's a tree root.
The expansion system must be used with PEX-a quality tubing, such as AquaPEX. The crimp or clamp system can be used with either PEX-a or PEX-b (for example Rifeng) tubing.
The size is based on your specific design. For most residential applications, 1/2" PEX is used.
This type of Rifeng tubing is suitable for plumbing applications. Any of the non- oxygen barrier tubing can be used for potable water.
Yes, this Rifeng tubing can certainly be used for your application. AquaPEX tubing by Uponor and ViegaPEX tubing by Viega are also viable options.
The installation cost for PEX tubing can be anywhere from $4 to $15 per square foot. The cost would depend on your location, as well as how much work needs to go into your particular installation. We would recommend calling 3 different installers to give you estimates and to choose the one in the middle.
