When working with PEX plumbing, you should use the standard technique of crimping. To perform this technique, you need tools pex 3 - (1) the main crimping tool, (2) de-crimping tool and tubing cutter (3). Depending on your needs, you can choose primary crimp in different configurations. While one type of configuration may have the ability to crimp 1 / 2 inch, another type may have the ability to pipe 3 / 4 inch pex. On the other hand, some types include crimping heads transposed to any of the above dimensions of the tube RIP. De-crimping tool is used to make copper ring crimping assembly and tube. It helps to reuse the connections easily.
Fittings
PEX fittings are usually designed with materials of brass, although some dealers prefer to use copper, bronze or artificially designed plastic fittings for PEX plumbing. The internal edges of the connector to remove one to another. Peaks, the copper ring set with the same PEX tubing - all work each other to create a seal at high pressure.
Pipe
As mentioned earlier, pex pipe is strong enough and flexible in nature. This is mainly because of the material, which is cross-linked polymer of high density polyethylene. While the processing of the pipe, it is melted and continuously extruded into the tube. The method of crosslinking is determined by using one of three procedures.
Crosslinking is a chemical process that initiates in the polymer chain of polyethylene. It helps to make the pipe more durable and resistant to temperature and stress. The three cross-linking procedures are - (1) Pex-a procedure or process Engels (2) PER-B process or procedure and silane (3) Procedure Pex-3 procedure or radiation. It is estimated that the procedure for PEX plumbing was introduced in Europe during the 1970s and the United States in the 1980s. Since then, this method becomes popular and the use of PEX plumbing has risen steadily since, replacing the use of copper pipes in most cases.
