Pex Installations By Top Craft
Top Craft has been installing Pex water systems since its introduction in the USA in the 1980’S. With hundreds of installations under our belt, we are the experts in installation of this system. Some of the benefits of the Pex system are as follows:
Pex is ideally suit for potable water plumbing applications. It is flexible, making it easy to install and service. Pex is able to withstand the high and low temperatures found in plumbing and heating applications, and is highly resistant to chemicals found in plumbing environment.
Flexible systems are quieter than rigid piping. The smooth interior will not corrode which can affect other materials long term pipe flow characteristics. Pex is also very freeze break resistant. Pex systems have fewer joints and are easier to install providing a lower cost installation over traditional plumbing materials such as copper.
Pex’s flexibility and strength at temperatures ranging from below freezing up to 200 degrees make it ideal for most hot and cold water systems, service lines, hydronic radiant heating , etc.
Pex can also be used with what’s called the home run or manifold (monobloc) systems. This system can substantially reduce water and energy consumption in a home. The home run concept provides dedicated direct lines from the manifold to each fixture, reducing the amount of water that must be purged from the lines to get hot water at the fixture. Direct lines can be sized to the fixture requirements, further reducing the amount of time to wait for hot water. Faster hot water delivery reduces water waste and the amount of times the water heater must cycle to supply hot water. Manifold plumbing systems are much like a electrical breaker box, the manifold provides a common location from which all the plumbing fixtures are supplied. This provides the user the ability to shut off the hot and cold water going to each fixture from one central location just as a main breaker box does for the electrical system in your home.
Pex piping is freeze damage resistant and can expand and contract as water freezes and thaws within the tubing.
