CANPEX™ ULTRA has proven performance CANPEX™ ULTRA provides the many benefits of CANPEX™ with the added features of proven UV protection. There have been several unsuccessful attempts by PEX competitors to produce a certified UV-resistant PEX product. Vanguard Pipe & Fittings Ltd. brings UV-protected PEX to the market - A PEX product which has proven, documented performance in chlorinated, potable water systems after extended UV exposure. CANPEX™ ULTRA’s unique multi-layer design provides the durability and performance characteristics that ensure longer more dependable service life. CANPEX™ Ultra has proven to be superior in performance in even the most stringent chlorine-resistance testing standards performed on PEX tubing. UV Resistant Virtually all of the manufacturers who have touted “UV resistance” in their PEX products have been unable to obtain the prestigious, voluntary NSF International P-171 chlorine resistance recirculation rating. This alone makes their products inferior to CANPEX™ and CANPEX™ ULTRA . In fact, most manufacturers have met only the minimum chlorine resistance requirement newly incorporated into ASTM F 876. CANPEX™ ULTRA combines added UV protection with all of the same features installers look for in a PEX tubing product including: • Faster, easier and more economical installation • Flexibility to reduce the number of fittings required in the system • Ability to use traditional tools and fittings used in standard PEX installations • Corrosion and freeze damage resistance • Resistance to scaling and pitting • Safe, chemical-free installation • Proven and reliable Brass Insert Fittings system Vanguard Pipe & Fittings Ltd. recommends that outside exposure not exceed 60 days. However, based on testing at independent laboratories, even after 6 months of exposure, the product retains its chlorine resistance properties in hot water recirculating systems. Used in residential plumbing and radiant systems for more than 25 years, PEX has a proven performance record and is growing in popularity within the North American plumbing and radiant heating markets. Vanguard Pipe & Fittings Ltd. tests its products extemsively at extreme pressures, temperatures and water quality conditions to prove that the claims we make about the performance of our pipe are accurate. Highest Quality Products CANPEX™ and CANPEX™ ULTRA are made using the Silane method of cross-linking. This method produces tubing that is the most consistent in size, dimension and degree of cross-linking, which, when combined with premium raw materials, helps produce the highest quality products possible.
