Standards and Listings
Heating PEX:
–HeatingPEXismanufacturedtoASTMInternational(ASTMF876andF877)andtoSDR9dimensions.Thesestandardsinclude
requirements and testing methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, environmental stress cracking, sustained hydro-
static pressure strength, bend strength, and degree of cross-linking. Heating PEX meets or
exceeds these standards.
–HeatingPEXistestedandlistedbytheNSFInternationaltoNSF-14(rfh).
–HeatingPEXistestedandlistedbyIntertektoASTME84(StandardTestMethodforSurfaceBurningCharacteristicsofBuilding
Materials) and meet the requirements of NFPA 90A.
– Heating PEX is tested and listed to UL 263 (Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials) by Intertek.
–HeatingPEXislistedbytheInternationalCodeCouncilEvaluationService(ICC)toReport#ESR-1155,andPMG-1008which
give compliance to IPC/IMC, and UPC/UMC.
–HeatingPEXiscertiedtoCSAStandardB137.5.
Expansion Rate: 1.1"/100'/10°F.
Allow 1/8" slack for every foot of installed tubing.
The bend radius for Heating PEX may require some
bends to be “light bulb” in shape. This method
allows for tighter on center spacing without
compromising the tubing.

Heating PEX-AL-PEX:
–ManufacturedtoASTMF1281
–TestedandlistedbytheNSFInternational(NSF-14rfh).
–CarriestheUPCcerticationmark,asapprovedbytheInternationalAssociationofPlumbingandMechanicalOfcials(IAPMO).
Expansion Rate: 0.156”/100’/10°F.
Note: No special considerations required to account for thermal expansion.
The bend radius for Heating PEX-AL-PEX is slightly
tighter than Heating PEX but may still require some
bends to be “light bulb” in shape. It is important,
however, to ensure the minimum bend radius is not
exceeded, as this will cause the tubing to kink. This
method allows for tighter on center spacing without
compromising the tubing.
