PEX Pipe

Heat pumps in Canadian homes: my experience

The technology of heating and hot water supply individual houses with heat pumps, already quite popular in developed countries abroad, began to find application in Canada. More than 30 years of experience in the successful operation of heat pumps abroad, including – in the countries whose climatic conditions are similar to Canadian, confirmed the high reliability and efficiency of the equipment. This, as well as the growth of tariffs for energy allow us to speak about the prospects of its application in our country.

How to prevent water from freezing inside the PEX pipes?

A year ago at the scientific-practical conference “Alternative natural gas in heat supply”, held ID “Aqua-Therm, was announced the program for the withdrawal of the Canadian market of heat pumps for individual heat supply company Stiebel Eltron (Germany). At the moment our specialists OSKO, dealing with the equipment, can already share a small, but real experience of heat pump installations in cottages: they have equipped about a dozen houses in the suburbs of Chicago and other cities. Types of objects, equipped with a heat pump can be considered as a country house of about 200-250 m2.

PEX Brass fittings (compression fitting)

PEX pipe are the most popular for the installation of radiant heating and plumbing supply. To connect PEX pipe using brass fittings.
With metal fittings, you can save considerable time and resources to design and laying of water supply and heating.
In addition, brass fittings are the most simple for most assemblers, and even despite the fact that they require periodic maintenance, the demand for brass fittings still higher than on integral press connectors.
Our company offers a wide range of brass  fittings manufactured by BOW. For greater strength of body and metal fittings nuts BOW made of brass. To protect against chemical and electrochemical corrosion at the brass PEX fittings cause electroplating of nickel. Such coverage has many advantages over the other, because only a nickel can protect the full brass from chlorine and ammonia are used in water purification.
Metal fittings are available with integrated BOW fitting, ie fitting body and fitting is a single-in-one product. This helps extend the useful life of such fittings.
Metal fittings BOW can be used with PEX pipe of any manufacturer. Product quality is monitored at all stages of production. As well as pex fittings BOW have certificates of sanitary-epidemiological service of Canada.

What is good pipe made of PEX and what they were used

Modern radiant heating tubing system is built from components made from a material called PEX. This material was previously used for the manufacture, construction and garden. Today, he has found wide application in various industries – for example, are made from the water rides, canoeing, skirts for cars, as well as the PEX used in the production of things such as, for example, windows and some types of instrument. As for PEX pipes, they are now very successfully compete with metal pipes. New tubes made of PEX have been used in the fifties of last century, but already in the seventies in America and Western Europe began to use them as ordinary PEX pipes for plumbing device, in fact they were the ideal solution to the problem of corrosion of the latter.

Elements of a Plumbing

For systems Plumbing also supplied various accessories – Collectors and steel Polyphenylsulphone, adapter, connector, plugs, PEX tools for proper installation of water supply and heating.

An incredibly fast pace of today is developing the construction industry in the country. These rates took over not only urban development but also suburban and individual housing construction. Whatever the building’s architecture, it is important to us in the house was cozy, comfortable and warm. Warm house – a very multifaceted concept. We try to talk about how to let the heat in the house and keep it. It’s about the heating systems in country houses and, above all, of the pipes, which can be used in heating, hot water and equipment “warm floor”.
