Polypropylene tubes are interconnected through a coupling, as well as fittings and movable combs (collectors) by soldering. With a special device at a temperature of about 170 ° C PEX tube outside and PEX fittings – from the inside. Then they connect with each other and form a single mass. When installing the reinforced polypropylene pipes with a special tool is removed first aluminum foil, liberated area welded to the coupling or fitting. The cost of couplings, tees, elbows and other fittings on average from 0,2 – 10,7 at. ie for the product.

Average market value of equipment for welding of polypropylene tubes did not exceed 100 at. e. per set. Such equipment can be leased.

PEX tube lungs and at the same time sufficiently strong, it is also important during the loading and unloading, and at the time of delivery, and during installation. Of course, labor costs when working with these products is much less compared to assembly and delivery of steel pipe. It is important also that of the mounting does not require special skills, enough to carefully study the instructions and try to follow it. As a rule, all foreign manufacturers are described in detail and colorfully illustrated by such instructions. So to understand the recommendations of the installation will not be difficult and will not take much time.

Typically, cross-linked PEX pipes are available in the so-called bays. Most often, the bays are 50 m long, sometimes can be up to 200 m, but under a special order and up to 1000 m.

We can say that the flexibility of cross-linked PEX pipes can save money on buying connective fittings. There is experience, when the pipes from the basement to “warm floor” on the second floor were built without additional connections. As for the PEX fittings and fasteners, then their range is incredibly broad and diverse.
