What PSI is PEX fittings good for?
PEX-a pipe can withstand a burst pressure of around 800 psi (almost two times the requirement for ASTM F876, the standard specification for PEX tubing). So neither the pipe nor the fittings are weak points, making for an extremely high-performing system in domestic water and hydronic piping applications.
How do you check PEX pressure?
So all you gotta do is simply put one on the hot. Side. And then we put one on the cold. Side. And now all we got to do is just pump it up as if you're going to pump up a car tire.
What is the max pressure for PEX tubing?
160psi
Unfortunately, PEX plumbing systems are pressure rated at as much as 60% lower than a FlowGuard Gold plumbing system. With a maximum pressure rating of 160psi, it is entirely possible for system pressures in a multifamily or commercial building to exceed the rated pressure for a PEX system.
How do you install a PEX pressure gauge?
And depth gauge tool. Then simply push the pipe into the fitting until it clicks and reaches in the correct depth gauge marker.
Can you pressure test PEX with air?
It is the recommendation of the PPI that PEX pipe and tubing systems be permitted to be tested with compressed air or inert gas, provided that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed and that all testing is performed in accordance with the local code regulations.
