PEXa MECHANICAL · CLEAN WATER PLUMBING

The most important installation in a building: clean water.

Clean water plumbing serves the building every day, without interruption. It must be protected like the human eye and built with the right product from the very start. This decision is too important to leave to building contractors.

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.

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.
