Try PEX Plumbing

When you're running the PEX, I suggest using the Accor Push-On
stops & supplies. They are quicker, easier than crimping on
stops and look better when the project is finished--they also come
with a 10-year warranty on parts & labor! I found the link to
the products here:

Howdy, Thanks for the information about PEX-AL-PEX.I have given
up on trying to use it as unable to locate it. Instead i will use
pex.I snooped inside a home under construction it has pex and
copper at the end of the runs with a copper strapping( pre made
holes for 1/2 NW 3/4" PIPE that is used to sodier copper elbows at
the ends of the runs so fixtures are attached to copper. i AM ON A
QUEST NOW TO LOCATE THE STRAPPING.What would be wrong with using
regulat hose clamps with pex and the ribbed fittings?

Interesting. Try searching for it under Zurn Quest Pex for info.
I have seen it in hardware stores and home improvement stores. The
tools are expensive. Keep the info coming. God Bless

Anyone got listings of name brands of the real PEX?PEX being
sold out in hinterlands may or not be real deal....no one helping
learn what is real and what is not.Also: some say regular folks
can't buy it--real PEX only available to professionals/contractors
--Really?My understanding was, PEX resists freeze damage: is this
true?CAN rodents chew damage it?

What about mice, rats and such critters chewing on
PEX?

I believe that the use of refined aluminum began in modern times
after a method of refining it from bauxite ore was developed. Lead
was the metal that troubled the Romans (and continues to cause
problems today because of its extensive use in paint and other
materials prior to sometime in the 1970's)

Aluminum is associated with Alzheimer's dementia. If there is
any break in the poly liner or contact with the water at the
fittings and connections, there will be a steady leak of aluminum
ions into the drinking supply which will then be ingested.There is
no association, that I am aware of, with copper or iron ion
ingestion and any human disease processes.I personally stay away
from drinks in aluminum cans. Remember the problems the romans had
wit

hi all in uk we been using it for year, its about 1/3 more cost
but the time saved out way the cost by 50%I read in your comments
that you crimp,all are fittings are push fit with a insert in the
pipe so the grab ring on the fitting dont crush the pipe (they are
all totally reuseables) as good looks are still needed we still use
copper pipe from the rad that can be seen to the plastic under the
floor ( this is push fit from copper to plastic but no insert is
needed to the copper pipe )if i can help any more can be contacted
at sealmrk@aol.com or www.seal-builders.com mark

we use a pipe called polybutelene and as far as i know it all
plastic no other thing in it that y we have to use inserts at the
joints. Its uesd for hot cold water, heating,and anywere you need
water

As a licensed plumber and pex installer; read, learn and
understand all you can before using a new product.Comments:
alum-pex is not needed for potable water it is for RADIANT
systems(heat loss). The 3" radius bend mentioned is for
1/2"ID,5"-6" for 3/4".When cutting use a shearing/slicing
action(roll pipe one way,shear the other)to reduce crushing. As
stated PEX will try to retain its shape,rolled pipe is hard to use
for sloped systems,it can be purchased in straight lengths. Be
careful when discussing sizes, crimp fittings or sized by pipe ID,
compression by OD. The crimp tools are costly but more efficent, a
single tool that will crimp 1/2" and 3/4" is available. The
flexable properties of PEX have many advantages including reduced
water hammer but create higher flow restrictions.When installing to
a group of fixtures, run 3/4" then branch to each with 1/2". The
chrome plated stops for under sink use can be purchased for
compression or crimp installation and the fixture connectors with
cone shaped ends are also available. If running outside from one
building to another for distances over about 30' consider using PVC
if freeze protected and if exposed to sunlight make sure the PEX is
UV resistant or wraped.Use common sense,don't cut corners and work
safe.

Hi, thank you for this article i am excited to use Pex al Pex in
my 101 year old grand home in NEvbraska. But i have struck out in
trying to find anyone in Oregon oor Nebraska who has ever heard of
it. Question come to mind about the life of the product. Regular
pex had a warrantry of 25 years is Pex Al Pex warranted for a
longer time?Were can one get more information about the plumbing
and or purchase it?Thanks again for your publication i enjoy
reading it every month.Tim
