Reliability in hospital and dialysis plumbing.

In hospitals, dialysis centres and healthcare buildings, water plumbing must run without interruption, clean and leak-free. PEXa pipe with Q&E fittings is a system that meets this need.

Hygiene

No welding, glue or solder

Q&E connections are made by cold expansion. No weld burrs, adhesive or solder residue form inside the pipe.

  • PEX-a pipe produced by the Engel method
  • ISO 15875 and health certified
Leak-tightness

The pipe makes the connection

The expanded PEX-a pipe, through its shape memory, tries to return to its original diameter and tightens the connection by itself.

  • No risk of installer-dependent weld quality
  • Trouble-free service in major projects since 1996
Project

Dialysis water lines

In dialysis water lines, material selection, line design and disinfection method should be determined together with the dialysis system manufacturer’s requirements and relevant standards such as ISO 23500.

Leave welded PPRC behind

and avoid problems in the future.

In a welded PPRC installation, every joint is a heat weld made by the installer on site. With PEXa pipe and Q&E, the pipe itself makes the connection.

Criterion
Welded PPRC
PEXa pipe + Q&E
Connection method
Polyfusion welding with a heater
Cold expansion; no heat or flame
Connection quality
Depends on the installer, welding time and temperature
The pipe’s shape memory tightens the connection by itself
Pipe flexibility
Rigid pipe; an elbow for every change of direction
Flexible pipe; fewer fittings
Inspection
The inside of the weld cannot be seen from outside
The ring and joint are checked visually
True to its name: Quick & Easy

In three steps, Q&E connection.

No welding machine, heating time or cooling wait. An expander tool and a few seconds are enough.

Q&E installation step 1
01

Fit the ring

Fit the Q&E ring onto the end of the pipe.

Q&E installation step 2
02

Expand

Widen the end of the pipe with the expander tool.

Q&E installation step 3
03

Push on, done

Push the pipe onto the fitting; the job is done.

Shape memory: The expanded PEX-a pipe wants to return to its original diameter; as it does, it grips the fitting and ring tightly.
Systems

From apartment to riser, one logic.
