Description
Choosing Supply Giant's PEX-A system saves you money and reduces repair time. PEX-A tubing is made from durable, cross-linked polyethylene, offering superior flexibility and exceptional resistance to damage. With its thermal memory, it returns to its original shape when heated, simplifying repairs and installations in tight spaces. PEX-A is safe for drinking water, cooking, and pool systems, making it ideal for both hot and cold potable waterlines. Whether you're installing it in a home or business, it ensures reliable, long-lasting performance and meets the demands of any plumbing system.Non-Oxygen Barrier PEX is more affordable and ideal for potable water systems or open-loop applications where oxygen ingress isn't a concern. Certified by NSF and compliant with ANSI and ASTM standards, it is approved for underground use, resists mineral buildup, and keeps your water clean and safe for drinking, minimizing maintenance. In contrast, PEX Oxygen Barrier is designed for closed-loop hydronic heating systems, featuring a special EVOH layer to prevent oxygen infiltration and protect metal components from corrosion.Comparing PEX-A vs. PEX-B:PEX-A tubing offers superior flexibility compared to PEX-B, making it ideal for installations in tight or hard-to-reach areas. Compatible with F1960 expansion and F1807 crimp fittings, it ensures secure connections and reduces the risk of leaks. It is corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant, and freeze-resistant, performing reliably under extreme conditions. The tubing also resists chlorine, protecting your waterlines from harsh chemicals. While this PEX-A tubing is unsuitable for radiant floor heating due to its non-barrier design, it excels in general plumbing applications, including closed-loop systems and underground installations. With a maximum working pressure of 160 psi and a temperature range of 33-200°F, this tubing is built to last. It represents modern and trending PEX technology, perfectly suited for American households.This PEX tubing is made from Proposition 65-compliant cross-linked polyethylene and does not contain lead.
- Flexible: PEX-A is highly flexible and easy to install in tight spaces due to the Peroxide Cross-Linking Process (Engel Method). Its elasticity suits both F1960 expansion and F1807 crimp fittings. The flexibility reduces the need for elbow fittings, and in some cases, elbow fittings are unnecessary as the pipe can be turned at a right angle in tight spaces.
- DIY-Friendly for Home Improvement: PEX A is easy to install with minimal tools, making it ideal for home improvements, plumbing maintenance, and new installations in various areas like the kitchen, toilet, and garden. Its flexibility suits any plumbing project.
- Environmentally Friendly: Safe for drinking. Lead-free and safe for potable water, PEX A prevents mineral build-up, stays clean with simple water flushing, and ensures efficient, long-lasting plumbing performance.
- Widely Available Fittings: PEX-A tubing is compatible with PEX expansion (F1960), push-to-connect (ASSE 1061), plastic crimp (ASTM F2159), and brass crimp (ASTM F1807) fittings. It is approved for water service lines and burial applications, including installation under concrete.
- NSF Certified: PEX-A pipe is ANSI, ASTM, and CSA certified, ensuring reliable, durable residential and commercial plumbing performance.
