PEX (polyethylene ether) cross-linked pipe comes in three varieties. Of the three PEX kinds, PEX-A offers the largest degree of cross-linking and is the most flexible. Since the tubing lacks coil memory, it is readily bent and will remain in place once fastened. In contrast to other systems, PEX-A uses expansion fittings to improve water flow since they have a bigger internal diameter. The Engel method, which takes longer than other extrusion techniques to cross-link polymeric polymers at high temperatures, is used to make PEX-A. The priciest of the three, PEX-A, is often exclusive to plumbing supply stores.
Of all the PEX pipes, PEX-B is the most widely utilized and, thus, the least expensive. Big box retail sellers mostly supply PEX-B. The pipe is ideal for underground installations since it has the maximum bursting pressure and is resistant to oxidation and chlorine. Nevertheless, B-PEX is among the most prone to kinking since it is far stiffer than other PEX pipes and has a significant amount of coil memory. Furthermore, this kind of pipe employs ring-style couplings and fittings with a smaller diameter. The Silane technique is used to create PEX-B.
The least utilized product of the three is PEX-C. Electronic irradiation is used in a cold cross-linking process to make C-PEX. Compared to the other PEX alternatives, the pipe is softer and more prone to kinking and cracking.
