PEX Manifolds 和 Stub Out Elbows
PEX Manifolds 和 Stub Out Elbows
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing was invented in 1968 by a German scientist named Thomas Engle 和 introduced to the U.S. 1980年左右. The many benefits have made PEX tubing a popular choice for plumbing systems, 比如负担能力, 灵活性, 快速安装, 以及耐腐蚀性能. 管道 the interior of a structure with PEX tubing can involve the inclusion of multiple parts that may make the installation process both organized 和 simplified. This could include the manifold 和 stub out elbow.
A PEX管汇 provides a plumbing hub for modern, residential plumbing systems that distribute water to various zones throughout the structure. Many manifolds today are sold with a number of components mounted onto the system. Common PEX Manifold materials include brass, stainless-steel, copper, 和 polymer. Below are typical PEX管汇 applications:
- 热水/冷水供应 – The water supply in a home contributes to everyday applications such as showers, 汇, 厕所, 洗衣机, 等.
- 加热 – The majority of manifolds today are being installed for heating purposes. Their ideal construction allows them to safely run these systems through durability 以及耐腐蚀性能.
- 水循环辐射加热 – A classic hydronic type radiant floor heating system is comprised by two or more loops (circuits) of PEX tubing, which are fed by the main hot water supply line from the boiler or other heating equipment. When a PEX radiant heat manifold is incorporated into a system, it helps to balance the flow in individual circuits, achieving equalized temperatures throughout the zones.
An elbow itself provides a bend in the line, thus changing the direction of water flow. Stub out elbows are primarily used when installing PEX pipe to stub out of the wall 和 allow for further connection of outlet stop valves 和 plumbing fixtures. This leads to a simplified installation, which saves on cost 和 labor. Stub out elbows are made of copper as this provides a solution that is rigid 和 resistant to bangs 和 bumps that could cause leaks. This plumbing part comes in a variety of lengths 和 inlet connections, is available in elbow or straight, 和 contains a one-piece solid body design. A stub out elbow can have a spun closed outlet or open outlet. The spun closed outlet makes pressure testing easy 和 prevents dirt 和 debris from getting inside pipes during construction. A wall/nail flange is also an optional feature for a PEX stub out elbow.
