The HeatLink® Potable Water System features PureLink® PEX-a tubing, the EasyFit™ manifold system, and stainless steel press sleeve connection technology.
The unique HeatLink® PEX-a process is based on a method developed during the 1970’s and uses organic peroxide to chemically cross-link the polyethylene during the manufacturing process. The PEX-a process produces a higher degree and greater uniformity in crosslinking, resulting product with significantly improved material properties with respect to temperature, pressure, strength and chemical resistance.
Press sleeve technology has been used for decades worldwide in plumbing systems, and has also been used extensively for pneumatic and hydraulic applications.
