PEX-AL-PEX
Features
PEX-AL-PEX is manufactured with a welded aluminum layer positioned between two layers of PEX. The pex pipe is 100% oxygen tight, promoting longer life for pumps and all ferrous components.
PEX-AL-PEX is easy to install. The pex tubing can be laid out by hand..stays where it’s put..no springing back!
PEX-AL-PEX is designed as the universal solution for both radiant (under floor heating) and potable (drinking water) applications.
PEX-AL-PEX offers quality fitting system choices for both radiant and potable applications.
quality PEX-AL-PEX is available in a variety of coil sizes of ½”, 5/8”, ¾”, and 1” as well as straight lengths.
Certification
PEX-AL-PEX is manufactured under a quality system which meets the requirements of ISO 9001/2000 accreditation.
PEX-AL-PEX is rated for 200° F @ 100 psi
PEX-AL-PEX has been develops, tested and approved for hot and cold water potable service, central and under-floor heating systems and is approved to:
- ASTM F1281
- NSF 14/61 (NSF-PW)
- IAPMO
- ICBO – Pending
- SBCCI – Pending
- CL-R/CL-TD - Pending

Advantages
- No outer oxygen barrier (EVOH) – eliminates worries about abrasion, scuffing and delamination.
- Advanced technology for long life and peace of mind.
- High durability – rated for 200° F @ 100 psi
- Resistant to corrosion, scaling and pitting
- Flexibility of plastic pipe with the durability and structural integrity of metal pipe.
- Aluminum layer allows for easy bending and will retain the desire shape.
- Flexible enough to cable through joists, bend or snake around corners – fewer joints means less labor.
- Lays down, stays down.
- Lightweight coils are easy to transport, cut, handle and store.
- Flexibility in fittings systems - compression fittings for radiant – “manufactured” press fittings for potable.
