Non-oxygen barrier PEX is approved for use with potable water in most localities, but we recommend that you check with your municipal codes to be sure.
We recommend that you use PEX with an oxygen barrier. Non-barrier PEX can allow rusting of various parts in the system.
PEX with an oxygen barrier should always be used in closed-loop heating systems. The barrier prevents oxygen from penetrating the tubing and causing ferrous system components to rust.
No, PEX is not rated for use with petroleum products.
PEX is made out of polyethylene that is cross-linked during the manufacturing process.
A tube uncoiler, multiple people helping, and warmth will all make it easier to uncoil the PEX.
We would not recommend it: PEX is neither tested nor rated for compressed air.
As long as you do not exceed the temperature/pressure ratings on the tubing, there will be no issues.
You can use PEX, but we would recommend PEX with an oxygen barrier for heating applications.
It is always a good idea to insulate the tubing to prevent sweating. This will also prevent heat loss in the hot water lines.
