PEX Tubing Supports
HeatLink PEX-a tubing can be supported using the same methods as metallic pipe. HeatLink
recommends using copper tube size (CTS) hangers and supports designed for use with
plastic pipe, e.g., plastic, coated, rubber, or foam lined, etc. Supports shall not compress, cut
or abrade the tubing. Guides should be installed to allow the free movement of the tubing.
