PureLink® Installation Guidelines
General Practices
{
{
Install PureLink® PEX at least 12" vertically, or 6"
horizontally away from heat sources such as recessed light
fixtures, or gas appliance vent piping.
{
{
For UL1598 approved Type IC thermally protected
luminaires, clearance can be reduced to 1". Ensure the
luminaire is fully enclosed so that no UV emissions reach
the PEX.

PEX may be used to connect directly to Power Direct Vent Water Heaters, Electric Water
Heaters, or Tankless Water Heaters. Tubing must be kept at least 6" away from the
exhaust vent.
{
{
For S636 plastic or Type B double wall vent piping that clearance can be reduced to 1".
The vent piping should also be used for its stated purpose and the flue gas should be no
more than the temperature limit stated on the vent pipe system.
{
{
You must use 18" (46 cm) long copper connectors on gas fired atmospheric water heaters
before transitioning to PureLink® on both inlet and outlet.
