The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) published a new technical report related to the break resistance of PEX pipe and tubing when fluid inside becomes frozen.

Lifestyle changes driven by the pandemic have kept many service plumbers especially busy over the previous months. 

The new facility offers nearly 2,000 test stations, including stations for long-term pressure/stress testing and hydrostatic design basis (HDB) and minimum required strength (MRS) ratings, as well as short-term burst and other pressure performance requirements.

On our trucks, we keep all our soldering material, such as solder, paste, pipe cutters, emery cloth, inspection mirror and other miscellaneous items, in small tackle boxes.

REHAU Verwaltungszentrale AG is the holding company of the REHAU Group.

Topics include properties of PEX tubing and fittings, types of plumbing layouts, designing for optimized performance, installation techniques, and design resources.

William Christensen replaces Rainer Schulz, who has run the company since 2010.

The Aquatherm Master Training program ended effective June 1 and is replaced by the ATP program. 

Both warehouses are open for business as of April 17.

PPI is the major North American trade association representing all segments of the plastic pipe industry.
