AquaSeal uses only cross-linked polyethylene tubing. Known as PEX, cross-linked polyethylene offers distinct advantages over both metal piping materials and other plastic alternatives. Our pipe is virtually maintenance free. It is corrosion resistant, flexible, and remarkably clean. Long used worldwide, PEX has an outstanding and unblemished track record of quality performance. PEX's cross-linked molecular structure offers toughness and lasting durability. Our cross-linked polyethylene piping withstands temperatures ranging from below freezing to above the boiling point. Because it is pliable, a 1/2" section of pipe can be cold bent into a 3" radius without affecting tubing integrity. The material is highly crush resistant and can be submerged in concrete or earth without any damage.

Engel Process
AquaSeal Pex-A is manufactured using the Engel process. Pipe is stocked in 1/2 to 2 pipe sizes in 20, 100, 300, and 1000 foot lengths in red, blue and natural.
Irradiation Process
AquaSeal Pex-C is manufactured using the Irradiation process. Pipe is stocked in 1/4 to 3/4 pipe sizes in 20, 100, 300, and 1000 foot lengths in red, blue and natural.

What are the advantages of AquaSeal pex over traditional materials (copper, steel, cpvc)?
It lasts longer, installs easier and resists corrosive water. Plus AquaSeal Pex is nontoxic and is free from harmful lead.
Does AquaSeal pex plumbing cost more than traditional products (copper, steel, cpvc)?
AquaSeal Pex is at least 50% less costly than copper or cpvc.
What is the best way to plumb with AquaSeal pex?
The neat thing with pex is you have three options. Home run, modified home run or traditional branch and tee. Each method has its benefits and negatives.
How is AquaSeal pex pipe connected?
Crimped, clamped, pressed compressed
Is any connecting method considered a better choice?
The connecting method is usually slected by the plumber, based on the system he likes the best. We prefer the Pinchlok clamping system because one tool can do four pipe sizes and has a 30 warranty.
Will chlorine cause AquaSeal pex to break down and leak?
AquaSeal Pex is manufactured to meet the new Chlorine standard ASTM F2023
