Appb2012 Pex-b Pipe, 1/2 In. X 20 Ft, Blue

Apollo PEX-B tubing is a cross-linked, high-density polyethylene pipe engineered for both hot and cold potable water distribution systems. Manufactured using the silane moisture cure method—a secondary post-extrusion process that creates durable cross-links between polyethylene chains—this tubing delivers superior strength and flexibility for residential and commercial plumbing applications. Whether you're installing new water lines, upgrading existing plumbing, or making repairs, Apollo PEX-B resists cracking under stress and maintains integrity through temperature fluctuations and chlorine exposure.

The silane cross-linking process accelerates with heat and moisture to form stable C-C-Si-O-SiC-C bridges that reinforce the polyethylene chains, creating bonds between grafted vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) units. This construction allows the tubing to withstand continuously recirculating systems at temperatures up to 140°F while resisting chlorine degradation. It can be installed in concrete, gypsum-based lightweight concrete, sand, asphalt, wood flooring, and behind wallboard or plaster, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor plumbing environments.
