Product Q&A
100 QuestionsQ: I have a house 2 years old and this Wirsbo Aquapex was used for my water supply system. I am told that I will have to expand the joints and use Wirsbo's own fitting system if I want to change anything. Is this true or can I use copper crimp rings and any standard 1/2" fittings?
Asked by Finishing My Basement 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffUponor Wirsbo recommends using it's Propex expander system with Aquapex for warranty reasons. However, this tubing will work with other fitting systems such as crimp rings and crimp fittings.
Q: What is the typical radius for a 90 degree bend? (3/4" aquapex)
Asked by ron51 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe minimum bending radius, or tightest you can get the tubing, would be 6 times the outside diameter of the tubing. This would equal 6 x .875", or 5.25". Typical radius would be from this amount to 8".
Ron, Most of my bends were about an 18" radius, with a minimal amount of effort. Sean

Q: Can we use pex tubing under ground and if so what kind is the best.
Asked by To to 16 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPEX tubing can be buried underground or in concrete. AquaPEX is our highest quality tubing; it is a grade A tubing, classified by the process used to produce the bonds between the molecules in the tubing. It is more flexible than other grades of tubing and is able to return to form after expanding due to freezing water or use of the Expansion fitting system.
PEX has thicker walls, making the inside diameter of the pipe smaller and less gallons per minute can travel through the pipe. I recommend 3/4" pipe when there are 2 bathrooms or less, 3 or more bathrooms use 1" PEX. Don't forget that some Metro Water companies like copper run out of the meter box about 4' before connecting to PEX. Since PEX is not detected with a metal detector, run a metal Water Warning Tape or a copper wire 6" to 10" below the surface of the ground. If you remove an old galvanized water pipe that is usually being used as the electrical ground, you must drive a new 8' grounding rod straight down into the ground outside and run a new grounded wire or extend the old one to the rod. Your best bet is to run the PEX through a new hole in the foundation and leave the old waterline in the ground. Some plumbers argue that the PEX will act as a ground of you connect the ground to a copper pipe that runs to the PEX, but they are WRONG! ASK AN ELECTRICIAN! BE SAFE!
Q: What is the maximum recommended run length from manifold to end fixture for 1/2" (and 3/4") Aquapex tubing?
Asked by Kris 16 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe answer to this question will depend upon the incoming water pressure to your home, and the required water pressure at your fixture. Each application is unique. By considering incoming pressure and pressure loss, you can get a general idea of how long the run can be.
