IFAN Custom Size PEX-EVOH Pipes

Yes, several precautions are needed

PEX-EVOH pipes require special handling to protect the EVOH layer. The barrier layer is sensitive to moisture, UV, and physical damage. Proper handling ensures long-term performance. Example: a few simple precautions prevent damage.

Protect from UV exposure

PEX-EVOH pipes degrade under direct sunlight. UV radiation damages the outer PEX layer. Store and install pipes in shaded areas. PEX-EVOH pipe must be protected from UV.

Avoid moisture during storage

EVOH absorbs moisture, reducing its barrier effectiveness. Store the pipe in dry conditions. Keep it covered from rain and humidity. PEX-EVOH pipe needs dry storage.

Handle carefully to avoid kinking

Kinking damages the EVOH layer permanently. Avoid sharp bends during installation. Use bending springs for support. PEX-EVOH pipe requires careful bending.

Avoid sharp impacts

Impact can crush or deform the pipe. Dropping heavy objects on the pipe is dangerous. Protect the pipe from construction damage. PEX-EVOH pipe needs protection from impacts.

Use proper tools

Use pipe cutters for a clean, square cut. Use deburring tools to remove burrs. Use bending springs for curves. PEX-EVOH pipe requires correct tools.

Protect from sharp edges

Ensure the pipe does not rub against sharp edges. Use grommets and protective sleeves. This prevents cuts and abrasion. PEX-EVOH pipe must be shielded from sharp objects.

Example: proper storage in warehouse

PEX-EVOH pipe is stored in a covered warehouse. The pipes are away from windows and sunlight. The storage area is dry and clean. PEX-EVOH pipe storage conditions are carefully managed.

Example: careful handling on site

A plumber handles the pipe carefully during installation. He avoids dropping or dragging the pipe. He uses proper tools for cutting. PEX-EVOH pipe is installed with care.

Example: preventing kinks

A plumber uses a bending spring to bend the pipe. He avoids sharp 90-degree bends. The pipe retains its shape and barrier. PEX-EVOH pipe is installed without kinking.

Temperature during installation

Install the pipe at moderate temperatures. Extreme cold makes the pipe brittle. Extreme heat can soften the pipe. PEX-EVOH pipe should be installed at 5-40°C.

Contamination prevention

Keep the pipe ends clean during installation. Contaminants can damage the EVOH layer. Cover pipe ends when not in use. PEX-EVOH pipe must be kept clean.

Final handling summary

PEX-EVOH pipe requires careful handling during installation. Protect from UV and moisture. Avoid kinking and sharp impacts. Use proper tools for cutting and bending. Install at moderate temperatures. Keep the pipe clean and protected from sharp edges. These precautions ensure the EVOH layer remains effective. PEX-EVOH pipe is a reliable product when handled correctly. Example: proper handling ensures long-term performance.
