FAQs How durable is TradePex? The design life of our pipe is in excess of 50 years when installed in accordance with approved standards and application. Backed by our 25-year manufacturer's warranty with supplier backed support, we’re in for the long haul.
Can I use TradePex to connect to solar panels? No. Like all other PEX systems, TradePex mustn’t be used to connect between a solar panel or other uncontrolled heat sources outside recommended working temperatures.
Can I use TradePex pipe that has been kinked? No. The damaged section of pipe must be cut out and replaced. Another job for the apprentice!
Can I connect TradePex to other pipe systems of a different material? Yes, we’ve got you sorted. We offer threaded fittings, brazing adapters, copper flare connectors and more to enable quick connection to other pipes.
Is TradePex UV stable? Short-term exposure to direct sunlight is ok. Unless sleeved or lagged, TradePex must not be permanently installed where it will be exposed to sunlight.
2726
CODE OF PRACTICE Local Authority Approval Double-check with your local authority before installation. Some authorities may have special requirements.
Storage and Handling TradePex pipes should be covered if they are being stored in direct sunlight for more than 30 days. Although flexible, avoid scoring or crushing the pipe. Pipe installed externally or between walls must be enclosed in protective material to avoid UV or wear damage. Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of pipe.
BendingTradePex pipe can be repeatedly flexed without harm. The recommended minimum bending radius is eight-times the pipe diameter. Where tighter bends are required, you’ll need elbow or bend supports. Avoid over-bending or buckling the pipe. If kinked, the damaged section must be replaced.
Under Concrete TradePex must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS3500 or local authority requirements. Just make sure you install the pipework in a conduit and avoid joints under concrete.
Concrete WallsPipe should be placed in a formed chase, wrapped with a sealed, flexible material. Avoid joints wherever possible.
Supports Spacing between supports should meet AS/NZS3500. Use purpose-made clips to allow free thermal movement. Don’t use metal pipe clips.
Tension Do not pull pipe tight during installation. This will restrict movement during expansion and contraction.
Expansion The expansion rate for our pipe is roughly 1.4mm per 1°C temperature change for every 10m of pipe. Allow for expansion based on this value. Pipes must not be anchored rigidly or pulled tight between fixed points.
Testing Once you’re done, the install must be pressure tested, as per supplier specification sheet available at tradepex.com.au. When testing an existing installation, cap the addition and test it independently (as existing pipework and fixtures may be damaged by the high pressure).
TradePex is not recommended for: 0 Water meter assembly or vertical risers
0 Fit-outs beyond the inlet stop valve or within 1m of the water heater outlet
0 Concealed locations, unless the requirements of AS/NZS3500 are observed
0 Areas subject to contamination by petroleum products

SLEEVE INSTALLATION
3. SLEEVE IT
0 Insert fitting until it reaches the pipe-stop.
0 If the expanded pipe has shrunk too much, it must be expanded again.
4. FIX IT
0 Slide the sleeve towards the fitting until you feel resistance.
0 Position the jaws squarely over the shoulder and compression sleeve. Do not use damaged compression tools for joint assembly. It may damage the pipe, fittings and joint.
5. DONE 0 The joint is complete when
the compression sleeve is drawn up to the fitting shoulder.
0 The maximum gap is 1mm. Compress joint if greater than 1mm.
0 You’re done. Too easy.
1. CUT IT
0 Cut pipe to length using an approved PEX cutter making sure the end of the pipe is cut square and not damaged.
2. EXPAND IT
0 Screw on the expander head, ensuring it’s in good condition. The use of a defective expander head will damage the pipe and potentially the joint.
0 Slide the compression sleeve over the pipe with the tapered end facing the fitting.
0 Insert the expander head into the pipe at 90°.
0 Check that the compression sleeve is clear of the area being expanded. Close the handles, hold briefly, then open and rotate the tool 30°. Repeat the process.

4. DONE
0 The joint is complete when the jaws have been completely closed over the copper sleeve and it has been checked with the gauging tool supplied.
1. CUT IT
0 Cut pipe to length using an approved PEX cutter making sure the end of the pipe is cut square and not damaged.
2. INSERT IT
0 Insert fitting until it can be clearly seen through the witness holes in the copper sleeve.
3. CRIMP IT
0 Place the jaws of the crimping tool over the copper sleeve making sure they are square and right alongside the insulating ring. Close the handles slowly taking care to keep the jaws square with the fitting.
