Viegapex 3/8

The Viegapex is required for the guarantee on the Manabloc, which I also purchased through Supply House. Delivery and processing by Supply House was great on every order. The big thing about this tubing is that the big box stores in my area are not up to speed on 3/8 tubing, and in some cases fittings, but I followed recommendations using 3/8 on everything except outside hose bibs and tubs. I have one shower, which is a good 45' from the manifold--over 50 by the time you factor in bends- and water pressure and volume are just fine. Hot water times have gone from 2-3 minutes with the old insulated galvanized to literally 30-40 seconds with the 3/8 pex. It is also slightly easier to work with and fish through walls than the 1/2". I chose the stainless clamps over the copper ones for ease of installation- one tool and ease of removal in case of a screw up. They make a removal tool for the copper ones down to 1/2 inch- but none for 3/8, which you could grind off. Don't get me wrong, the stainless take patience but you can get them off. Screwdriver in the crimp to work it apart or a strong hand and tin snips snapping off the crimp will do it. I bought a ratcheting tool for the clamps and did 3/4 supply, 1/2 and 3/8 clamps with ease. If you have an old Harley, I'm thinking this tool will work on the oil line fittings too- they look identical. One mistake I made was thinking the 3/8 would not be enough volume- I also ordered 30 1/2 fittings for the Manabloc to replace the 3/8 I ordered with the Manabloc if needed. A bag of six would have done what I needed- two tubs, two hose bibs and washer and laundry sink. The last two would probably have been fine with 3/8 but I ran out and wanted to complete the job so went to Home Depot and bought one each 100 foot rolls of red and blue. By the way- if you're like me you will forget to order some items- I would recommend HD for extra pex as they carry Sharkbite, which are made by Cash Acme- a US and Australian company. Lowes has all Chinese fittings--except for the hose bibs- which are reversed- Lowes has US and HD Chinese. I started my plumbing project with pex from galvanized about 10 months ago- but due to time restraints due to other projects,initially installed the Manablock, then ran two 1/2 lines from it back into my old trunk and branch system to keep the water on as I worked on one section at a time, only shutting the water down long enough to separate and plug the section I was going to hit. When the weather turned bad- really bad, I really hit the plumbing and finished it up in a few weeks due to continues interruptions with other emergencies. Another tip I have is not to be afraid to use connectors. The idea is no break from manifold to fixture, but if you have none behind walls, that is the main concern. I did supplemental shutoffs on every line--sinks and toilets were shutoffs and connectors to the fixture, but showers and hose bibs I did in line half turn shutoffs, and this made me realize that either you trust the connections or you don't, and if you don't maybe you should take another route. My last long runs to a sink were 10' short, so I did connectors in the basement, and the hot water goes blue at the end to lessen waste ( No 100' roll just for 10') OK, a little long for a critique on tubing, but thought I'd combine my critique of pex in general since my project is finished woith not a leak- knock on wood! The worst part of this was getting the old galvanized out- the pex was actually fun- if you let yourself have fun when doing home repair. Have fun and you can do this. No plumber will go hungry, do-it-yourselfers are a thinning breed in this country- unfortunately!

not enough fittings

The tubing is great, but there are not nearly enough 3/8 fittings. I used 3/8 tubing for all my sink fixtures in order to save hot water and I'm extremely happy with the result. However, if I had known how many headaches would be caused by the lack of fitting options, including finding appropriate crimper tools, I would have chosen to use 1/2 tubing on all my fixtures. It's a sad state of affairs, which the suppliers can fix if they choose to do so.

DIY Friendly

Viega came recommended elsewhere on the web. I found it to be a bit more pliable/flexible and felt like higher quality PEX than stuff I've gotten at the big box store.

Product Good. Shipping fair

The product is quality due to German design. The only problem is that this coil WAS NOT put in a Tyvex Shipping bag and occured some damaged to the outer tubing.

ViegaPEX is rated up to 100psi at 180°F. It can also be used with chilled water and is compatible with propylene glycol antifreeze.

Q: Is there anything required to use this pipe in an exposed area outside? Will painting it protect it from sunlight? Thanks.

Asked by TM 14 years ago

PEX is not UV-resistant and must not be exposed to sunlight. We recommend sleeving exposed PEX with PVC rather than painting it.

Was this review helpful to you?
- Another PexSupply Customer

There is a plastic sleeve that is used to insulate copper pipe when it is underground, also you can use pipe foam insulation. If it is underground, nothing is needed. As for painting, I don't think you can completely conceal the pipe and I'm not sure what the paint chemicals would do to the pex.

Was this review helpful to you?
- Another PexSupply Customer

You may need insulation from the cold weather if exposed.  Depends on the climate where you live.

only way to use this pipe outside is to box it in, out of the sunlight. the uv will ruin it quickly, maybe even within a year

Was this review helpful to you?
- Another PexSupply Customer

I doubt this stuff will take paint and its not suitable for any kind of sun exposure. I'd try to protect any outside supply line from accidental damage and exposure. Can you run it in a conduit? Have you considered using galvanized pipe for your outside supply?

I'm pretty sure PEX tubing is made with standard Inner Diameters and Outer Diameters.  I have mixed and matched brands with no trouble and no leaks.  Keep in mind I'm just a "do-it-yourselfer."

Yes. Pex pipe has standardized specs. Quality of pipe may vary from supplier to supplier but specs do not. So fittings will work for any pipe that has the same specs. However Pex fittings will not work for other pex standards such as pex-al-pex.

If the Zurn pipe is the same type, then yes i.e. A, B or C. PEX-A tubing is produced using Peroxide (or, “Engel”) method, named after the inventor Tomas Engel. During the manufacturing process, free radicals are created when HDPE polymer is melted and cross-links between molecules occur at temperatures that exceed the decomposition temperature of the polymer. Some of the manufacturers who make this type of PEX are: Uponor (former Wirsbo), Rehau and Mr. PEX. PEX-B is made using a "Silane" or "Moisture Cure" method of cross-linking, where links between the molecules of the HDPE form after the extrusion process using a catalyst and exposing PEX tubing to water. This type of PEX is the most common and is manufactured by a large number of companies, such as: Viega, Watts, Bow, Everhot, Zurn and many others. PEX-C is manufactured using “Electronic Irradiation” method of cross-linking, also known as "Cold" cross-linking. Here, cross-linking of the molecules is done after the process of extrusion by exposing the pipe to an electron radiation beam. The radiation emitted allows to break the existing links between molecules of the polymer and initiate cross-linking process. Some of the manufacturers are: Nibco, Roth, Cash-Acme.

I'm pretty sure you can, as long as the pipe diameter matches that of the fittings. I have used some Zurn fittings with the ViegaPex pipe, so they should work both ways.

emphatically NO !! Use ONLY Viega "B" tubing for water, and Viega Fostapex for air, heat, water, etc., with Viega fittings. By the way, they are the very best fittings for pex that money can buy. I love them

1/4" PEX has a .241" ID and a .375" OD. Crimp fittings are not available. You would need to use either compression or SharkBite fittings.

3/8" PEX does have a 1/2" OD. Its ID is .35" (not exactly 3/8") because PEX is thicker than copper.

Q: I am replacing a hydronic underfloor fan box with a floor tube system. It will attach to the existing pex pipes at the fan box. I can not put the pipe in concrete so I am doing a custom warm board system ( 1/2" or 5/8" underlayment slotted for the pipe with sheet metal under and over the pipe, then radiant carpet and pad) What is the best piping ( non barrier)to use for application that also has good flex to make tight turns.
