Requirement for PEX tube installation

The Regulations require that decisions in the work of PEX pipe should be certified for compliance with Canadian technical standards; pipe water supply systems is also essential hygiene certificate.

Unfortunately, our country has not yet approved for mandatory use of precise testing methods for PEX pipe and not all enterprises engaged in their certification, with the necessary stands. Therefore, it is believed that while the domestic certificate of compliance may not always be considered sufficient proof of the suitability of pipe for heating and hot water. You can suggest to consider when buying a pipe availability of foreign certificates and reputation of the manufacturer.

No less important is a confirmation of the connecting elements. Should be applied only fitting to the type and size of pipe used. Western manufacturers will not accept responsibility for the quality of equipment, when their pipes are joined by the "Left" details.

Among the foreign companies has been the practice when the fittings from different manufacturers have their own characteristics. If this does not screw connections, installation of which is carried out by conventional wrenches, it is necessary to install them "corporate" tool. Such devices are also in the range of manufacturers of PEX pipe. The snap-release and specialized companies. For example, Brazetek manufactures devices for pressing fittings, providing them with interchangeable attachments for mounting the fittings of the largest firms.
