It is said that pex tubing has brought about a paradigm change in the concept of radiant floor heating. It amazing quality for the distribution of potable water makes it suitable to be used in domestic water as well as on underfloor heating.

Basics of Pex Tubing

PEX is nothing but cross-linked polyethylene, which finds applications in many industry sectors. And the reason for its popularity lies in the fact that it is flexible, and is resistant to scale and chlorine. Moreover, it is anti-corrosive, and its installation is comparatively much faster than metal or rigid plastic. And the best part is it has fewer connections and fittings. All these make it the right choice for radiant floor heating or, even in domestic water system installation.

The problem with the use of these metals is that they are prone to metal fatigue, or chemical incompatibilities with concrete, which becomes very costly and sometimes impossible to rectify. These disadvantages can be done away with pex tubing, because in this method hot water is allowed to pass through PEX tubes, installed under the floor, which warms the whole room eventually.

Advantages of Pex Tubing
