Love your videos - background music is too loud, distracting. Keep up the great videos!
Argh - sorry, you already got the message on the music! Keep it up, renovating with Pex A, thanks for all the help

[mycats]

Thanks for the video! This was short, simple, and informative.

PEX is a polyethylene material which has undergone a change in molecular structure using a chemical or a physical process whereby the polymer chains are chemically linked. Crosslinking of the polymer chains of polyethylene (HDPE) into PEX for pipes results in improved properties such as elevated temperature strength and performance, flexibility, chemical resistance, environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), resistance to slow crack growth (SCG), toughness, and abrasion. Crosslinking makes PEX a "semi-thermoset" polymer, providing excellent long-term stability.

It would be important to note that Zurn Pex B tubing not only can be used with Pex A expansion fittings that provide greater internal diameters over Pex B, but the bursting tests have it more than double that of normal Pex A.

We are trying to use a pex tubing as a cooling system and have water run through it to keep a stainless steel plate metal cool while an epoxy material lays on top. The epoxies exotherm and we need to keep it at ambient temperature. Which kind tubing would be best out of the 3 types? Just your opinion would help me decide…not holding you to anything!

Can caulking or foam be used for gaps in wood floors created to install pex for baseboards? If not, what can be used for gaps in wood?

[JosephTammaro]

I have a question. My plumber is re-piping my heating system with PEX. I am also going to insulate my house with spray foam. Can the spray foam come in contact with PEX?.

What I don't get is, why they didn't make a 5/8" size for potable water application, since it would be much closer to the 1/2" copper for pressure loses.

Great content, but real hard to listen too when a loud party is ongoing in the background.

[mytube]

What type of tubing is to used for water main, from meter to the house? What type of fittings for that?

[krisdysert]

This is really helpful but the music is distracting.

[Juan.Melendez]

I read about chemicals leaching from pex pipes. Which one doesn't give chemicals?

[youtubeaholic]

So which one can i use with the expansion tool and Uponor fittings?
