Popular things for PEX installation

PEX tubing can be used for various purposes. For example, the popular PEX fittings for exhaust ventilation. Consider, for example, an exhaust tube in the garage, which consists of PEX tubing for ventilation. It should be located not less than 1,5 m above the roof. Please note that you need waterproofing tubing where it passes through the roof to avoid leaks of rain and melt water.


Ventilation apartment or house - also not as easy as it seems at first glance. In today's environment banal air conditioner and air cleaner often enough. Come to the aid of PEX tubing for exhaust ventilation. The most common solution - inlet ventilation system in combination with several independent exhaust. In cafes, restaurants and other public places large numbers of people also need good ventilation of premises, and once again - producers can use PEX tubing for exhaust ventilation. There is another category of institutions, which simply requires PEX tubing for ventilation. It gyms and fitness centers.


Usually installed inside a metal tubing vent exit diameter of 125 and 160 mm and plastic vent tubing with a diameter of 160 mm. In another case, you can install and plastic vent tubing with a diameter of 225 mm. To avoid unpleasant odors and the destruction of sewage systems in the house, sewage risers must have a vent out the roof. To do this, too, fit plastic vent tubing with a diameter of 160 mm. Fans with built shumopoglotitelyami can join tubing with a diameter of 160 mm and plastic vent tubing with a diameter of 225 mm.

PEX Couplings

PEX fittings are vital to ensure the installation of the PEX tubing systems. One of the most important fittings is the PEX coupling that is increasingly being used to connect the ends of various PEX piping. PEX couplings are of utmost relevance when it comes to connecting the PEX tubing systems.
The most commonly used materials for the PEX couplings are plastic and brass. Out of these two types, plastic PEX couplings are primarily used to check the pressure. The main purpose of PEX couplings is to ensure secure installations by bending tight corners, changing sizes and splitting branches. Straight connectors are the most basic types of PEX couplings that are increasingly being used to various connections of toilets and faucets.
There are basically two types of connections that are being used which include the crimp connection and clamp connection. Copper crimp rings and crimp tools are used for the crimp connection, whereas, clamp tools and stainless steel clamps are used for the clamp connections.

The use of polypropylene pipes: external utilities

Outdoor PEX tubing communication include thermal network, water supply and sewage system. One of the enumeration is enough to understand how important they are for the normal life of any city. They are also required for the townspeople, as refrigeration for storage of perishable products. And just as in the case of refrigerators, the absence of these undoubted benefits of civilization, we are starting to notice, only if there was a malfunction of any of these systems. Central heating, water supply, sewerage - for the implementation of each of these systems need reliable pipe, the quality of which depends on whether the work of engineering services uninterrupted.

At the present time to build and repair of external engineering networks are increasingly used polypropylene pipes. However, the scope of the polypropylene tubes are much wider, because of their unique properties. Suffice it to say that it is possible to transport various chemical solutions. It is no exaggeration to say that the polypropylene pipes for the economy become as necessary as cold stores in the summer. In those cases when you need a special strength and durability of pipes, used their reinforcement by special trains, most commonly used aluminum and fiberglass. Reinforced PEX tubing on operational parameters may well replace steel pipes, known for their reliability. One of the technologies of reinforcement lies in the fact that the pipe is covered with a layer of aluminum foil on top of a layer of polypropylene. Thus we obtain three-layer construction - two layers of polypropylene and between them a layer of aluminum. Pipes manufactured by this technology, different lower coefficient of thermal expansion and can be successfully used for the construction of thermal paths.

Regardless of the technology of manufacturing all plastic pipes are resistant to corrosion and looks quite aesthetically pleasing, even without paint, which distinguishes them from the metal pipes. Through the use of plastic pipe during installation of the pipeline achieves great savings. It manifests itself in practically all phases of construction. For transportation of plastic pipes do not need heavy equipment and installation is done quickly enough. When laying pipelines in addition to PEX fittings, tees and other fasteners can be used for welding, which is done using special welding machines.
