PEX piping is used to transport oil, natural gas, hazardous chemicals, and sewage or slurry for waste treatment.Click to see full answer. Then, where is PEX not allowed?Pex not being allowed in commercial or industrial buildings, and thus not in residential buildings deemed “commercial industrial”.Similarly, does PEX melt? PEX does not melt any more (analogous to elastomers) and is thermally resistant (over longer periods of up to 120 °C, for short periods without electrical or mechanical load up to 250 °C). Almost all PEX used for pipe and tubing is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Regarding this, is PEX pipe oil resistant? Note that we do not recommend using PEX Tubing with Chemicals at temperatures over 180°F. Although PEX Tubing is considered fully resistant to many chemicals, we recommend a reduction of the maximum pressure applied at 180°F to 80%.Are PEX fittings interchangeable?Push-to-connect can be used interchangeable with most types of copper tube size pipe, including PEX, copper and CPVC. No special tools are needed to make these connections. Also, the fittings can be easily removed and reused. The ugly: Some fittings require a stiffener sleeve and some don’t.
