They offer secure web applications for order processing and real-time information access, including order status, price checks, and inventory availability. Additionally, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) services streamline transactions and inventory management.
Material Selection
The document details materials used in NIBCO PEX systems, such as Polyethylene (PE), Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), Brass, Copper, and Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX). Each material is selected for properties like chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. PEX is noted for its cross-linked structure, enhancing durability and performance in plumbing applications.
NIBCO PEX System Overview
NIBCO PEX is a complete system with tubing, fittings, valves, and manifolds, designed for compatibility with three connection methods: crimp, clamp, and sleeve. The manufacturing process uses an electron beam method, ensuring high-quality PEX tubing with minimal chemical use.
Standards and Approvals
NIBCO PEX products comply with standards such as CSA B137.5, ASTM F 876, and ASTM F 2023. The system is tested to ASTM F 877 requirements and certified for potable water systems by NSF International and IAPMO.
Operating Limits
The system's operating limits for water and chlorinated water are specified, with maximum pressures and temperatures outlined. Thermal expansion considerations recommend using pressure relief valves and expansion tanks.
Installation Notes
Guidelines for using recirculating loops in hot water distribution emphasize the importance of timers and adherence to building codes for efficiency and compliance.
Plastic Piping Standards
The document references standards like NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 14, establishing health effects and performance requirements for plastic piping components, ensuring safety and quality in drinking water systems.
Push 'N Go® Fittings
The document lists various Push 'N Go® fittings, including couplings, elbows, tees, end caps, adapters, stack tees, stack elbows, locking clips, and miscellaneous items. Each product is detailed with figure numbers, material numbers, sizes, weights, and packaging quantities, recommended for use with plastic CTS tubing.
PEX Connections
The document outlines different PEX connection types, including stainless steel sleeves, copper crimp rings, polybutylene crimp rings, and copper crimp sleeves, with specifications on figure numbers, descriptions, weights, and packaging details.
Manifolds
NIBCO offers manifolds in configurations from 6-port to 40-port, available in lead-free versions with mounting clips, screws, label sheets, templates, and instructions. Detailed dimensions and configurations are provided for each type.
Valves
The document includes specifications for various PEX valves, such as lead-free ball valves, angle stop valves, straight stop valves, and other specialized valves, detailed with figure numbers, descriptions, weights, and packaging information.
Recommendations
Push 'N Go® fittings should be used exclusively with plastic CTS tubing for optimal performance. The lead-free nature of the products is highlighted, with a weighted average lead content of ≤ 0.25%.
Radiant Heating Products
The document lists radiant heat manifolds and accessories, such as valve sets, PEX connectors, and actuators, along with radiant heat panels and zone kits, specifying weights and quantities.
Tools and Accessories
A comprehensive list of PEX tools is provided, including crimp tools, clamp tools, sleeve tools, and other accessories, described with figure numbers, material numbers, descriptions, weights, and packaging details.
Installation Accessories
Installation accessories like PEX Tube Talons, Insulator Clamps, and Bend Supports are outlined with specifications on size and packaging.
