PEX tubing sizes are denoted by CTS (copper tubing size), not OD (Outside Diameter) or ID (Inside Diameter). <br />2 OD of PEX, copper and CPVC pipe with the same size (CTS) is the same. This is why push fittings can be used with all of these pipes. <br />3. PDC made to US standards must comply with a SDR -9 (Standard Dimension Ratio), which is the ratio of OD (Outside Diameter) to pipe wall thickness <br />(9:1). Exceptions are nominal sizes 112" and below. <br />Pressure ratings, testing and pressure drop <br />PEX Tubing <br />Pressure testing - Hydropic 8 Radiant Heating <br />Pressure testing -Hot 8 Cont Water Plumbing <br />Pressure Ratings <br />200'F at 80 psi <br />3 times the maximum working pressure or a minimum of 40 <br />1.5 times the maximum working pressure but no greater than pipe's <br />180"F at 100 psi <br />psi, but no greater than 100 psi. <br />pressure rating at given temperature. <br />74'F at 160 psi <br />Duration: 30 minutes minimum, 2 hours recommended <br />Duration: 30 minutes minimum, 2 hours recommended <br />Notes: <br />1. Maximum working pressure indicates highest anticipated operating pressure. <br />2. Pressure testing requirements and procedures should be in compliance with local codes and PEX manufacturer's instructions. <br />3. Air pressure testing is recommended over water for practical reasons and due to difficulties arising from water freezing during winter months. <br />4. Since PEX is a flexible pipe, it will expand somewhat (espedally PEX-a) during the initial pressurizing of the system, causing a drop in pressure reading. <br />Some manufacturers recommend "conditioning of the system, or allowing the PEX system to stay pressurized for about 30 minutes prior to taking a <br />reading. <br />5. For concrete slabs, pressure is maintained at 30 psi during the pour and is monitored to assure integrity of the system. <br />file:///C:/Users/Fafima/Desklopipex.htmi 113 <br />
