ExcelPEX is PEX-Aluminum-PEX, that is, multi-layered composite tubing consisting of an interior aluminum tubing lined with inner and outer layers of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). ExcelPEX is a durable, reliable tubing that will not corrode or rust. The flexibility of ExcelPEX tubing results in easy rollouts. The stay-in-place rigid feature of the tubing makes it ideal for: Radiant Floor heating systems Manifold supply piping Baseboard supply and return Unit heater connections Solar systems Chiller and fan coil systems
If you want to know a little more about ExcelPEX : The PEX layers protect against corrosion and creates a shield so the tubing can be embedded in concrete. The aluminum layer offers 100% oxygen diffusion and provides stiffness to hold the tubing in the desired shape. Together, the layers make up a flexible tubing that stays in place, won't discolor and has a very low thermal expansion rate (similar to copper and teel).
On the other hand, PEX pipe is plastic and thus has a much higher thermal expansion coefficient that can result in heat stress cracking of cement and asphalt floors due to expansion of the embedded pipe..
ExcelPEX protects the metallic components of the water distribution from corrosion caused by oxygen diffusion by regular PEX closed loop water systems.
NSF Approved for Potable Water
SUMMARY of ADVANTAGES
The inner and outer layers of composite multilayer ExcelPEX are PEx; and its middle layer is aluminum combined with bonder. ExcelPEXhas most of the advantages of plastic pipe and metallic pipe. Its advantages are easy bending, anti-rust, non-corrosion, and acid resistance. It is widely used in the transportation of hot and cold water, beverages, gases, heating liquid or shipbuilding pipe.
Non-corrosion
ExcelPEXinner and outer layers consist of silane method cross-linked polyethylene ( PEX ) At normal temperature, it does not dissolve in any known solutions and is resistant against acid, alkali and salt of various kinds.
Both materials offer perhaps the best chemical and corrosion resistance of any plastic used in the manufacture of plumbing pipes. The polyolefin family of plastics PEX is renowned for it's toughness, long working life and resistance to deterioration in the most extreme environments.
On the other hand, when metal or copper pipes are exposed to aggressive soil and water conditions, they are susceptible to corrosion and pitting.
Clean Healthy
The entire ExcelPEX plumbing system is designed to provide you with the cleanest drinking water possible.
ExcelPEX clean, non-corroding plastic interior is resistant to deterioration in aggressive water conditions. You needn't worry about odor, color or taste problems arising because of the plumbing pipes in your home.
And given ExcelPEXbuilt in permeation barrier, you have built in peace of mind that your buried water pipes will not be permeated by ground source contaminants.
Ease of Installation
No more copper sticks, no more sweating joints every few feet. ExcelPEX convenient, lightweight coils allow you to install a professional plumbing system quickly and efficiently. Installation crews are less fatigued and larger coils mean less wastage.
Need to make a bend ? Go ahead. Need to snake pipe around an obstruction ? There's nothing stopping you. When the system calls for a fitting, you simply cut, bevel, insert and crimp the pipe for secure, long-term connections. It's really that fast and simple.
MALLEABLE: Unlike garden variety PEX pipes that spring back upon bending , flexALPEX pipe is easy to bent and its metallic inner core gives it the “memory” to stay bent
Go anywhere with ExcelPEX
ExcelPEXcan be installed in walls and ceilings or surface mounted. It can be supported horizontally or vertically on 8 foot centers because its stiffness and expansion rate is similar to copper's. ExcelPEX can be encased in concrete or buried underground without additional protection because its tough outer plastic layer resists chemicals and corrosive activity.
And ExcelPEX aluminum core provides a 100% permeation barrier against oxygen diffusion in closed loop system.
Superior Flow
ExcelPEXsmooth inner plastic wall permanently resists scaling and mineral build-up, keeping water flow constant year after year. Unlike metal pipes, you won't see a reduction in flow area with ExcelPEX. That means home owners can enjoy a constant water pressure throughout the house, throughout the years.
ExcelPEX uses fewer fittings almost half the fittings used in a copper system. Fewer fitting joints means less chance of leakage and less liability.
It is not only designed for better long term flow rates, the inner plastic layer is non-corroding and won't pit, pinhole, or erode in aggressive water conditions. FLEXALPEX is designed to provide years of trouble free performance in the toughest of conditions. Other pipes just don't compare.
Low Expansion and Contraction
ExcelPEXaluminum core controls the amount of expansion and contraction in the pipe. In fact although ExcelPEX looks like a plastic pipe its expansion rate is very similar to copper’s so you do not have to worry about building in costly and time consuming pipe offsets.
