The maximum temperature and pressure ratings of Apollo® Expansion PEX pipe are
in accordance to ASTM F876, CSA B137.5 and PPI TR-3. The designer shall determine
the actual conditions and apply the appropriate and additional design factors as
required for any particular project. The temperature and pressure ratings apply to
the application of Apollo® Expansion PEX pipe for conveying heating and cooling
water at the 2.0 safety factor on allowable working pressure according to ASTM
and CSA. According to the Apollo® Expansion PEX warranty, the warranty period
of 25 years is for operating conditions at or below 180ºF (82.2ºC) in permitted
applications when the handling, use, installation and maintenance continually
complies with all Apollo® Expansion PEX technical guidelines.
