elson BUSHPEX Pull-On
elson BUSH PEX Pipe
elson BUSHPEX pipe is manufactured from PEX-a raw
material to exceed the performance requirements of
AS/NZS2492. The flexible elson BUSHPEX pipe is the perfect
choice for hot and cold potable water and recycled water
applica�ons.
PEX-a crosslinked polyethylene is polyethylene (PE) which
has undergone a change in molecular structure whereby the
polymer chains are chemically linked, crosslinked (X), with
each other to form a three-dimensional network making it
more durable within a wide range of temperatures and
pressures typically where metals were used. PEX-a pipe
provides flexibility with improved mechanical, thermal and
chemical proper�es. elson BUSH PEX-a pipe is typically
between 80% to 85% crosslinked.
elson BUSHPEX pipe benefits:
• PEX-a pipe will expand with excessive pressure and then
return to its original shape when the pressure is removed.
• Temperature and pressure ra�ngs on PEX pipe include
700C at 1300kPa.
• Resistant to freezing and high impact strength.
• Be�er resistance to surge pressures over copper.
• Reduced water hammer compared to metal pipes.
• High burst strength and long-term pressure ra�ngs
• Smooth wall and excellent flow characteris�cs reduce
pumping costs
