PEX pipe, also known as cross-linked polyethylene pipe, is made of polyethylene material. The linear molecular structure of polyethylene is changed into a three-dimensional network structure through physical and chemical methods so that the performance of polyethylene is improved.

Application field
Indoor water supply pipes, hot water pipes, and pure water delivery pipes.
Liquid food transportation pipelines in the food industry.
Plumbing heating system, central air-conditioning piping system, ground radiant heating system, solar water heater system, etc.
telecommunications, electrical piping. electroplating, petroleum, and chemical plant pipeline system.

Piping layout and laying
(1) First, the location and direction of the piping should be determined according to the structure and process layout requirements of the building.
(2) The pipeline should be hidden or embedded in the ceiling, pipe hole, and pipe well.
(3) When the pipeline is laid on the overhead floor or in the whole pouring layer of the floor, it is advisable to install rigid PVC corrugated pipes.
(4) When the pipeline passes through the floor and roof, fixed support points should be set at the passing part, and strict waterproof measures should be taken. When passing through walls, beams, and columns, casings should be set.
(5) The pipeline should not pass through the settlement joints and expansion joints of the building. When it has to pass through, anti-settlement and expansion measures should be set at the passing parts.
(6) Anti-settling measures should be taken when the outdoor pipeline passes through the concrete wall of the basement.
(7) The pipeline passes through the water tank of the pool, and the pipe section between the inlet and outlet pipes and the valve shall be made of corrosion-resistant metal pipes.
