Pex Tubing - Insulated and non-insulated
       |
BP insulated Pex Pipes This exceptional product has layers of ~1/4" thick Polyethylene foam with radiant barrier on each. The 5 wrap is sealed at the 3rd and 5th layer.(all others sealed at outside layer) Manufacturer claims greater insulating value than any foam-filled product out there hands down due the reflective nature of the double foil-faced ~¼” close-cell foam insulation wrap. The outer shell is made from 100% new plastic, not recycled. It is also much heavier than the draintile you find at most building centers. These BP Insulated Pipes are not a bubble wrap layered product or cheap packing material grade foam like some other products you may have seen. Look at the total thickness of the foam. Having more layers means nothing if they are each half the thickness or just bubbles. 5 Wrap BP insulated Pex Pipes Free Shipping*

Pex tubing is manufactured to SDR9 standards which is the same outside diameter as copper pipe but has a wall thickness 1/9th the diameter. You need to be real careful when you see something advertized like "true 1 inch" or "Not 1 inch OD like others" because 99% of the time they are selling metric pex and you may have a hard time finding fittings(especially when they don't tell you the real size) and you have no option for crimp fittings. Also, if you ever have a problem and need to repair it you probably won't be able to find fittings locally.
NB= Non Oxygen Barrier Pex OB= Oxygen Barrier Pex
OB usually isn't required unless you are running a pressurized system with no chemicals. It never hurts to use OB pex on an open system (open system has overflow tube at boiler) but is usually just a waste of money and doesn't make any difference.
NOTE:
* Non Barrier
pex tubing is
either Red or
Blue throughout
the pipe (inside
and outside ).
* Oxygen Barrier
pex tubing is
either Red or
Blue on the
exterior but the
inside will
appear almost
white.
(Example: the
3/4" Pex above
is Non Barrier
and the 1" Pex
is Oxygen
Barrier ( inside
almost white ).
)
* All Pex tubing
is pressure
rated at 80 psi
@ 200 degrees
and 100 psi @
180 degrees.
* Our pex is
complies with
ASTM F876/F877
standards with
ROHS
certification

Pex-Al-Pex Tubing
Pex-al-pex is sold as inside diameter instead of copper tube size. It has a few advantages over normal pex. It doesn't expand in length so if you have an installation that can not allow for expansion when the pex gets hot you may want to consider it. Also the sizes fall between pex so it is also a good alternative if you need something a little bigger than 1" pex.
PEX-AL-PEX is made with an exterior layer of PEX then adhesive followed by a layer of aluminum, another layer of adhesive and finally a layer of PEX. The aluminum acts as an oxygen barrier so all PAP tubing is considered OB.
