PEX-B RED TUBING 1/2" X 10'

Apollo PEX-B tubing is a high-density cross-linked polyethylene pipe manufactured using the silane moisture-cure method for enhanced structural integrity. This 1/2-inch red-colored tubing is specifically designed for easy identification in hot water distribution and continuously recirculating systems up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It is engineered to resist corrosion and scale build-up, ensuring long-term flow performance in potable water applications. The tubing is suitable for various installation environments, including burial in concrete, sand, or behind wallboard and plaster. This product is supplied in 10-foot straight lengths, providing a rigid alternative to coils for cleaner professional runs.

Apollo PEX tubing is cross-linked, high-density polyethylene. The silane method, also called the "moisture cure" method, results in PEX-B, where the cross-linking is performed in a secondary post-extrusion process, producing cross-links between a cross-linking agent. The process is accelerated with heat and moisture. The cross-linked bonds are formed through silanol condensation between two grafted (VTMS) units, connecting the polyethylene chains with C-C-Si-O-SiC-C bridges. PEX tubing is for use in hot and cold potable water distribution systems. PEX tubing can also be used in "continuously recirculating" plumbing systems up to 140 deg F while maintaining chlorine resistance. The tubing may be installed in concrete, gypsum-based lightweight concrete, sand, asphalt, in or under wood flooring or behind wallboard or plaster. Size: 1/2" x 10' length. Sold per each.
