Explains the PEX-c cross-linking process using electron beams for superior PEX tubing properties.
NIBCO PEX tubing, fittings, valves, and manifolds are designed as a unified system for compatibility.
Details compliance with CSA, ASTM, UPC standards and NSF/ANSI 14 and 61 listings.
Achieved by using NIBCO PEX with poly or lead-free bronze fittings for potable water systems.
Describes PE as a common olefin for water transport, known for light weight, low cost, and chemical resistance.
Details PEX properties, cross-linking methods (electron beam), and benefits like improved mechanical properties.
Explains PPSU's toughness, rigidity, high-strength, and stability in high temperatures and various chemical resistances.
Describes brass as a copper alloy with zinc, used for decorative fixtures and plumbing components.
Details copper's historical use in plumbing, its ductility, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
Ensures a proper connection by cutting the pipe squarely; jagged cuts can lead to failure.
Ensures a proper connection by cutting the pipe squarely; jagged cuts can lead to failure.
Slide the correct size stainless steel sleeve over the PEX pipe until it bottoms out, checking the view hole.
Prepare your pipe and fitting, ensuring they are ready for connection.
Simply push the PEX pipe into the fitting until it stops for a secure connection.
Highlights quick-connect, tool-free installation, disassembly, and material benefits of Push 'N Go fittings.
Lists performance standards like ASTM F877 and NSF-PW for PEX hot and cold-water distribution systems.
Provides minimum bend radius specifications for NIBCO PEX tubing sizes to prevent damage.
Details guidelines for supporting PEX pipe to prevent strain, including spacing and support types.
Leave extra tubing at both ends of the run for easier connections to fittings, fixtures, and manifolds.
Bundle hot and cold lines separately to avoid heat transfer issues and maintain insulation properties.
Solder adapter fittings first, and always keep soldering tools and open flames away from PEX pipe.
Guidelines for submerging NIBCO PEX in concrete, including sleeve use and avoiding joints within the slab.
Route PEX pipe away from heat sources like water heaters and motors, maintaining minimum distances.
Covers thermal expansion in PEX systems and guidelines for hot water recirculation loop usage.
Details compatible insulation and sealant materials for PEX pipe penetrations, avoiding oil-based caulks.
Addresses common installation questions about kinks, grounding, outdoor use, gas/air, poly fittings, and service lines.
Provides pressure drop per foot for various flow rates and tubing sizes at ambient temperature.
Lists nominal ID, OD, wall thickness, and average ID for different NIBCO PEX tubing sizes.
Lists conditions and damages that void the warranty, including improper installation, misuse, and non-NIBCO components.
Specifically excludes incidental and consequential damages of every type and description.
Limits the duration of implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
