PEX-A pipe is cross-linked, high-density polyethylene. All Apollo Expansion PEX is available in red, white and blue for easy identification of hot, cold, and main water lines. Apollo uses the high-pressure peroxide method of cross-linking which is also known as PEX-A. Apollo Expansion PEX pipe is produced using the high-pressure peroxide method for crosslinked polyethylene (PEXa) in accordance with ASTM F876, F877, CSA B137.5 and PPI TR-3, and is certified to NSF 14/61 standards. Apollo Expansion PEX pipe also meets the requirements of ASTM F2023 for chlorine resistance. Apollo Expansion PEX pipe is manufactured using a quality management system which has been certified to the latest version of ISO 9001.
- Great flexibility allows for fewer joints, thus reducing leak points
- Expandable and allows for "full flow"
- Less coil memory than traditional PEX pipe and resists the urge to remain coiled
- Compatible with both expansion and crimp, clamp or sleeve methods of joining
- Heat-repairable if kinked during installation, thus further eliminating additional repair connections
- Shape memory inherent in PEX-A pipe results in the shrinking of expanded pipe to normal size, creating strong, durable and reliable ASTM F1960 fitting connections
- Maximum cross-linking increases flexibility and resistance to cracking
- Copper tube size dimensions (CTS)
- Approved for use with brass and poly alloy crimp fittings (ASTM F1960 and ASTM 1807)
