HEATING PEX and Heating PEX-AL-PEX
HEATING, COOLING, and
SNOW MELTING LIMITED WARRANTY
From Watts
1. Watts warrants its Heating PEX cross-linked polyethylene tubing, Heating PEX-AL-PEX cross-linked polyethylene/
aluminum/cross linked polyethylene tubing, fittings, and factory manufactured manifolds to be free of defects in material
and workmanship when used in hydronic heating, cooling, and snow melting systems. This limited warranty for tubing
is valid for a period of twenty-five years from the date of manufacture. This limited warranty for Watts manufactured
manifolds and fittings expires two years from the date of manufacture. All other Heating PEX and Heating PEX-AL-PEX
accessories are warranted for one year after date of installation.
2. Watts obligation will be to repair or replace, at its discretion, any material proven to be defective when such material is cov-
ered under the following limited warranty.
3. In order to qualify for a labor allowance to repair or replace defective materials, you must contact Watts in advance
and receive a written authorization for this allowance. Labor and freight expenses not authorized in writing in
advance by Watts will not be compensated.
4. In the event of a system malfunction or leak caused by defective materials (and not by incorrect installation procedures
or damage from handling procedures/jobsite conditions) repair materials and a reasonable labor allowance will be allowed.
In the event of a leak occurring in a factory manifold, you may contact Watts for a free replacement manifold or any needed
parts (freight prepaid). In the case of field-assembled manifolds, Watts warrants the quality and serviceability of the
individual components sold by Watts that the contractor incorporates in that manifold, but Watts cannot warrant the
complete manifold assembly or any field-assembled connections. That is the responsibility of the installing contractor.
5. To qualify for the above warranty you must do the following:
a. Use good construction techniques to install our materials, as specified in our current design and installation guidelines
and technical notes. This must include field pressure testing our materials before they are covered by concrete or
otherwise made inaccessible.
b. Install our materials according to all specific instructions furnished for your installation.
c. Install Heating PEX or Heating PEX-AL-PEX in a system that will not operate at temperatures exceeding ratings as
marked on the tubing.
d. Product must be installed in compliance with all applicable plumbing, heating, cooling, and/or mechanical codes.
6. Evidence of tampering, mishandling, neglect, accidental damage, freeze damage, or unauthorized repairs that cause damage
to Watts products will void any warranty coverage for these particular damages, although it will not void warranty coverage
for unrelated items. Field repair joints and tubing-to-manifold connections are specifically excluded from the terms of
this warranty.
7. Watts provides a complete radiant system offering so that it is possible to complete an installation with Watts products.
However, it is possible that other manufacturers’ tubing and/or fittings may be installed in any given installation. Providing
that the tubing and/or fittings are manufactured to the applicable ASTM standards, and have been certified by a recognized
third-party testing agency, the Watts product in the given installation will continue to be covered under this warranty. In
the event of a system malfunction or leak that has other tubing and/or fitting manufacturers’ components installed within
the failed system, Watts will be responsible only for Watts products. Products manufactured by another company should be
reported to that manufacturer for their warranty response.
WATTS DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WATTS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, SECONDARY, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OWNERSHIP OR
USE OF THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING INCONVENIENCE OR LOSS OF USE OR THE COST OF REPLACING OR REPAIRING

WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE OF THIS DOCUMENT. NO AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF Watts HAS ANY

WRITING BY A CORPORATE OFFICER.
8. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages and some states do not allow
limitations on how long implied warranties may last. Therefore, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Effective: July 1, 2011
