Is Viega PEX polybutylene?
No. PEX and PB is different chemical compounds and have different working parameters. As I know usage Polybutilene for water supply system is not allowed in US. Use PEX tubing for plumbing.
Can you put antifreeze in pex tubing?
Yes. Only use propelyn glycol (RV antifreeze) DO NOT use automotive antifreeze.
How can a technician identify a wire wound resistor that is color coded?
The same way he/she can identify a composite resistor that is color coded or a metal film resistor that is color coded: by reading the color code bands. They all use the same color code. If for some reason the color bands are damaged and unreadable, the resistor will have to be removed and measured with a meter. However this reading may be incorrect as whatever caused the color bands to become unreadable may have also damaged the resistor, changing its value. Verify the value on the schematic!
What are pex fittings?
Pex fittings are used for making connections in PEX plumbing applications. Professiomnal plubmers used next type of PEX fittings: Crimp fittings, Clamp fittings, Push Up fittings, Sharkbite fittings and others.
Can pex be used for hot water?

Is PEX tubing suitable for underground installation, and if so, should I use type A or type B PEX tubing?
Yes, PEX tubing is suitable for underground installation. Type B PEX tubing is recommended for underground applications due to its higher resistance to chlorine and other chemicals in the soil compared to Type A PEX tubing.
Does pex tubing freeze?
At what temp does pex pipe freeze
What color of PEX should be used for underground installations?

How can I undo a PEX crimp?
To undo a PEX crimp, you will need a PEX crimp tool. Use the tool to cut the crimp ring and remove it from the PEX tubing. Then, you can pull the fitting off the tubing. Be careful not to damage the tubing during this process.
What is the best way to connect PEX tubing to copper piping using a PEX to copper adapter?
The best way to connect PEX tubing to copper piping using a PEX to copper adapter is to first cut the PEX tubing to the desired length and then slide the PEX fitting onto the tubing. Next, use a crimping tool to secure the fitting onto the tubing. Finally, solder the copper adapter onto the copper piping and connect the PEX fitting to the copper adapter.
How can I connect PEX tubing to a water heater?
To connect PEX tubing to a water heater, you can use a fitting called a PEX fitting. This fitting is designed to connect the PEX tubing to the water heater securely. Simply insert the PEX tubing into the fitting and use a crimping tool to secure it in place. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of PEX fitting you are using.
What are the differences between a PEX clamp and a crimp, and which one is more effective for securing PEX tubing?
The main difference between a PEX clamp and a crimp is the method of securing PEX tubing. A PEX clamp uses a stainless steel ring to secure the tubing, while a crimp uses a copper ring. Both methods are effective for securing PEX tubing, but some professionals prefer crimps for their reliability and durability.
Will pex cinch clamp work onpoly?
Yes, PEX cinch clamps are typically compatible with PEX tubing, including PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C. Make sure to use the correct size cinch clamp for the corresponding PEX tubing diameter to ensure a secure connection.
How can I remove PEX fittings effectively?
To remove PEX fittings effectively, use a PEX tubing cutter to cut the tubing close to the fitting. Then, use a PEX fitting removal tool to release the fitting from the tubing. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions and wear appropriate safety gear.
How can I connect PEX tubing to copper pipes?
To connect PEX tubing to copper pipes, you can use a fitting called a PEX-to-copper adapter. This adapter has a PEX side that can be crimped onto the PEX tubing and a copper side that can be soldered onto the copper pipe. This creates a secure and watertight connection between the two types of pipes.
