Guaranteed service life of modern high-quality PEX tubing

The inner surface of the tubing is completely smooth, which is why its capacity is much higher than the rubber of the same diameter. In extreme conditions (in construction, industry), when the inner and outer surface of the pipe are enhanced mechanical stress, life span, of course, less. Most of the plastic tubing made of  (PEX) pipe for special purposes are also made from polyurethane. This internal surface resistance to abrasion under the influence of mechanical particles in plastic pipe and tubing is the same. The design of most plastic hoses suggests the possibility of their deformation, and they do not break even under the wheels of the car. Hose, reinforced frame, or made from a polymer material having a molecular memory, quickly restores the form and returned to working condition. There are several varieties of such frameworks. Most often they represent a spiral of PEX or metal. Another common design hose – three-layer composition, the central reinforcing layer which is made in the form of polyester mesh. This design makes the hose much more resistant to sudden changes of pressure and external mechanical influences. Finally, there are three-way hose ribbon, the water which flows through three parallel channels, half cylinder, integrally mounted on a flat plastic basis. These hoses are designed for cost-atomized spray of water when watering. The inner surface of PEX plumbing for transporting drinking water is made of plastic food that prevents the development of algae. High (professional) hoses to be used outdoors, protected from destructive ultraviolet radiation.
