The PEX-AL-PEX pipe is a composite pipe made of aluminum pipe, with the aluminum layer pressed between inner and outer layers of pipe. It combines the strength of a metal pipe with the durability of plastic. It can withstand temperatures up to as high as 95°C and a working pressure of 1.25MPa, thus meeting design requirements for high temperature radiation heating.
The PEX-AL-PEX pipe is widely used in drinking water systems, centralized water supply systems, radiator systems, heating systems, cooling systems and more.
Step 1: Place the pipe cutter vertically on the pipe for a smooth, clean cutting. The cut pipe should be free of burrs.
Step 2: Select the appropriate reamer guide size and insert it completely into the PEX-AL-PEX pipe. The edge of the pipe must come into contact with the reamer blade. While holding the pipe, push the reamer in and rotate it in 2-3 circles (in any direction). If the chip is being cut, it indicates that the program is being correctly carried out.
Step 3: Slide the compression nut over the pipe and insert the main body of the PEX-AL-PEX compression joint completely into the pipe
Step 4: Slide the nut and O ring into the joint direction by hand, and then hand-tighten the compression nut (about 2 circles) on the joint. Place a hook wrench on the connector and place another wrench on the compression nut, and then tighten the compression nut (about 1-1.5 circles).
Step 5: The connection is completed and then check the fittings.
