Title: indoor pex lines
Post by: newmod on October 22, 2011, 10:01:37 AM

Is it OK to use any indoor pex line with my OWB as long as it has the " O2 Barrier "?

None of my pex is oxygen barrier.I know all the tubing in my shop floor is all regular pex.The only issue is if there is cast iron in the system.

OB pex is only needed on pressurized systems.
Any pex should be fine.

Any PEX should be fine.  I would recommend a corrosion inhibitor if your OWB manufacturer allows you to use one, though.
