Type B PEX is made using the silane method (water bath).
There is a coating on the outside of the pex, so when used with pressurized boiler systems, it keeps oxygen from permeating the system and causing rust. It is not needed with open systems or potable water systems.
BHS PEX tubing is connected in 2 different ways.
You can also use push-fit fittings. They are great for a quick repair, or a small installation project. They are however more expensive and more susceptible to leaks down the road.
Do Not use PEX tubing for any of the following applications.
Anywhere the temperature could reach 230 F or more.
