25 QuestionsQ: Does SupplyHouse carry a plastic bend support for the 1/2" Viega PEX-B tubing. What is the minimum bend radius of the 1/2" PEX-B?

Verified Reply- Hello Skeeter, This will work for the Viega PEX: https://www.supplyhouse.com/Wirsbo-Uponor-A5250500-1-2-Plastic-Bend-Support-2128000-p , and we don't have information on the minimum, but the maximum bend radius is 3.75"
Q: Can 1/4 PEX tubing be used with Reverse Osmosis water?
Asked by smithkeith1 9 years ago

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffYes, PEX is compatible with RO water.
Q: What is the PEX xxxx designation number? I'm concerned about the continuous chlorine and heat in a Domestic hot water loop. I have experienced 2 pinhole failures at the bend support location on the outside portion of the pipe bend. I'm worried that additional failures are soon to follow. PEX 5xxx would be great!

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThe Viega pex tubing that you are interested in is Pex designation code 5306. This particular tubing can be used with continuously re-circulating plumbing systems up to 140°F as per the manufacturer.
Q: If I was to installed outside , What type of insulation should I use to protect from freezing?
Asked by El pelon 12 years ago
Add your answer
Pex is not recommended for outside install because UV rays can break down the material. Why not use PVC and then a manifold inside? If you are going to do that I would build a box, house the pipe in the box, and insulate the box. A piece of 4" schedule 20 would work for a box if you could run it through that.
Q: Does .5" and .75" viegapex come with a type A rating?
Asked by mike 12 years ago
Add your answer
ViegaPEX is a PEX-b material. Wirsbo's AquaPEX is the only PEX-a product. This classification refers to the manufacturing method, not the relative quality. (https://www.pexsupply.com/resources/pexPlumbing)
no. it is Pex B only. just that is what they call it. make sure to use it if you are using Viega Press fittings.
Q: Will this pipe be ok within 2 feet of overhead Fluorescent lights on 1 hour each day. Used for cold water in basement supply line. I saw on Utube Pex pipe not this type Pex was white pipe exposed to Fluoresent lights 24 hours a day 7 days a week cracked
Asked by Keith 12 years ago

If you are worried about it cover it with a foam insulation sleeve available at all home centers
The person that answered your question with how much heat lights put out not having effects on PEX has it completely wrong! It's the exposure to UV that causes deterioration in PEX, not heat. It would not be possible to use PEX for hot water service, or radiant heating if heat were to cause PEX to deteriorate, and crack. That's why you are specifically warned to keep PEX out of direct exposure to sunlight, and artificial lighting until it is installed. Hope this helps!
yes, but i would definitely cover it with foam pipe insulation tubes. they self-seal these days, along the edges. Armorflex is the best brand, available at the Depot
Cover the pipe with insulation. You can get it at Home Depot in sticks of about 8'.
Hi Keith, 2 Feet is quite a distance between the lights and the pipe to radiate the amount of heat.( it is not in physical contact for safety and other reasons). Unlike incandescent filament light bulbs, most of the electrical energy is converted to light energy in Fluorescent lights. I would suspect other reasons for the cracks in the you tube example you mentioned ( may be the tube was defective to start with or kinks, bends etc.). Make sure you do the unwinding/stretching of the coils of the pipe very carefully to avoid kinks and bends. You should be OK. For safety reasons, while installation, avoid contacting electrical lines, lights etc. Good luck.
Q: Can this be used for radient heat in floors?
Asked by fred 13 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou should not normally use PEX tubing without an oxygen barrier in a heating system, unless you plan to have an open-loop system with bronze or stainless steel circulator pumps and a heat source that can handle fresh oxygen.
To my knowledge the "blue" viega pex is for potable water. There is a pex made specially for radiant heating applications. Check out the resources section on Pex Supply website. Sent from my iPhone
Yes it can its best to use Pex with oxygen barrier. "Can this be used for radient heat in floors?".
Q: How deep can this pipe be buried for a main waterline?
Asked by KJ 14 years ago
Add your answer
Two things to make sure of is that it is deep enough not to freeze, which if you check with your water supplier they will tell you the appropriate depths. Here in Northwest PA it is 36" and if you go over a driveway or a place there is traffic then it need to be 48" to keep from freezing. Then the second thing you need to make sure is the the PEX is oxygen barrier if it is going in the ground...that is a must.
As deep as you want, but above sewer grade.
Below your local frost line, above sewer grade. Person that said "Oxygen Barrier is a MUST", doesn't know what they're talking about. Oxygen Barrier PEX tubing is used in radiant heat systems where the water comes in contact with FERROUS METAL components within the boiler, and so-forth. If it comes in contact with non-ferrous metals, or the radiant lines are closed-loop, then Oxygen Barrier PEX doesn't have to be used. THAT is the ONLY case for O2 Barrier PEX to be used, period. Any other use is a waste of money. Read the specifications on it. White 3/4" or 1' PEX are most commonly used for main water lines from meter to house, though I recommend no less than 1", because PEX has a slightly smaller inside diameter than CPVC, copper, or galvanized steel water lines of comparable diameter, and 1" will plain give maximum flow to your house. Hope this helps!
Q: What is the specification for pipe support for a horizontal installation?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffHangers and supports will revert back to code specifications. In the IPC for PEX supports it states PEX must be supported every 32 inches horizontally and every 48 inches vertically.
Q: Can I bury the viega pex. The frost line is considered to be 42".

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYes, ViegaPEX is approved for direct burial.
You may bury it. I would still sleeve it in foam and/or make sure it is in a bed of sand.... no rocks. kpc
