Can't Go Wrong

The 1/2" AquaPEX was just what the doctor ordered. Very tough and durable. Rigid enough to guide through trusses, but flexible enough to make all the turns. Very difficult to accidentally compromise. I am cautions to remain well clear of heat sources except if intentionally removing a connection. I have attached an image of a home distribution point using the PEX "A" AquaPEX. I used both the expansion tool and a crimp-er, depending on what I am connection to.

shipping wrap

This product is very good with one exception, The plastic wrap that is designed to use from the inside works great until the last two wraps, at this time it is cheaper to throw away the last two coils than to try to get it out of the plastic The time it takes to free the pipe from the wrap totally wipes out any savings from the product.

Love you guys Great selection / great service Do wish you would find a way to use less plastic packaging. We try to be as green as possible whenever it's possible. Some day plastics like that will hopefully be banned. You could get ahead of the curve!

PEX-A Pipe

Since my house was built with Uponor PEX-A pipe, when I had to add some additional piping to my house I chose to use this pipe. This does require the use of an Expansion Tool to get the full benefit PEX-A provides. However, this will also take PEX-B fittings and valves if you use ASTM 1807 crimp rings. This gives you the chance to easily expand your plumbing system.

Pex A is easy to work with.

We used this to replace galvanized water service lines to our 1950's bathroom. It was easy to work with.

Supplyhouse.com is awesome!

Every time I place an order it always comes exactly as I order it. Very fast delivery if I order by noon, I usually have it by noon the next day. This is a great source for Uponor (Wirsbo) tubing and all the fittings.

Q: 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?

Uponor 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

The 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

PEX is a good choice for this application because it is much easier to work with and less expensive than copper.

Q: We are looking to install additional baseboard heating units and are thinking of using PEX to connect to the other zones in the house. The rest of the heating zones are all copper tubing and the boiler temp could go to 180 F. Please let us know if this will work. Thanks

You would need to use an oxygen barrier tubing, such as thermaPEX or hePEX tubing.

PEX 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.

- Jimmy the plumber

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

The 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.
