PEX (an acronym for crosslinked polyethylene) is a popular, high-performance piping solution for residential and commercial applications. However, the assumption that all PEX is created equal is not true and can lead to costly mistakes. Using inferior PEX can result in troublesome issues, requiring expensive repiping efforts that can also damage your reputation with customers.
The snowy Québec winters require an effective method for snow and ice removal that minimizes labor time and costs while also addressing project demands, so the Royalmount team chose an Uponor Snowmelt System to meet the energy-efficient design requirements and solve the problem of snow and ice removal.
In the USA, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) controls water meter standards. This industry association has specific standards for water meter threads in the United States. If you are new to the waterworks or metering industry, meter and meter connection sizing can be confusing. Read below to learn how to correctly size PEX piping with municipal water meters.
The use of PEX piping for plumbing, fire safety, and radiant systems continues to increase due to its durability, installation ease, and long-lasting performance. However, what is less known is how all the benefits of PEX directly relate to sustainability for a project.
Decarbonization is one of the most critical challenges facing industries today, and engineers are at the forefront of this transition.
