A Closer Look At Pex Fittings and Their Applications
As PEX pipes and PEX tubing have become popular for use in the plumbing industry, it’s best to always have a supply of the right fitting types and sizes for connecting the PEX plumbing pipe throughout your application.
Critical Water Line Applications
Our brass PEX fittings are an excellent choice for main water lines entering a building because they can withstand the higher pressure found in these PEX tube systems. PEX fittings and tubing applications include hot and cold water distribution systems and underground water service lines too.
Drinking Water Applications
Our lead-free* brass PEX fittings are an excellent choice for use in applications where water safety is essential, such as residential and commercial PEX plumbing. In fact, regulations call for lead-free* fittings for drinking water plumbing systems in municipal potable water systems, homes, commercial buildings, and public buildings. PEX-A and PEX-B tubing are generally considered safe for transporting drinking water. This includes main water supply lines, faucets, sinks, water coolers, and spigots.
Residential and Commercial Plumbing
In addition to new construction plumbing systems, our brass PEX fittings are a great choice for plumbing renovations and replacements due to their flexibility for faster, easier installation as PEX parts can be easily connected to existing plumbing manifolds and plumbing fixtures. These include hot- and cold-water lines; kitchen, bath and shower fixtures; jacuzzi and hot tubs, toilet plumbing water supply lines; and fire sprinkler systems.
Replace or Upgrade Existing Plumbing Pipes
PEX tubing with brass PEX fittings are an excellent system approach for replacing, retrofitting, or upgrading old, leaking pipes and fixtures. Additionally, it may be time for new or replacement PEX parts if your fittings leak, exhibit corrosion or flakes, cause a rattling sound, or you notice a loss of water flow. This includes main water lines, water spigots, tankless water heaters, sinks, and faucets.
HVAC Applications
For residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems, brass PEX fittings are proven reliable in connecting PEX piping in HVAC systems, including hydronic heating, radiant heating, cooling systems, boiler connections, and refrigerant lines. Additionally, PEX tubing and PEX fittings are used in the installation of electric tankless water heaters or on-demand water heaters. In these applications, brass PEX fittings are compatible with different types of PEX tubing, including PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C. (Be sure to adhere to local plumbing and HVAC codes and equipment manufacturer’s instructions.)
Irrigation Systems
Brass PEX fittings are a common top choice for connecting PEX tubing in indoor, outdoor and underground irrigation and sprinkler setups for landscape, garden, and agricultural settings due to their versatility, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Our brass PEX fittings and crimp rings can also be used in many drip irrigation systems and custom irrigation setups due to their longevity and rust resistance.
Radiant Heating Systems
Our supply of brass PEX fittings includes the components you’ll need to connect tubing in radiant floor heat (under floor) systems, hydronic (water) heating systems for baseboards and radiators, and radiant heat systems for snow melting and ice melting from driveways, walkways, and building entrances.
