The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) reviews PEXALGAS pipe. In conclusion, PEX-AL-PEX reduces the risk of laceration injuries during installation.
CPWR is a world-leader when it comes to construction safety and training. As a nonprofit, their goal is to reduce occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Recently, they assessed the PEX-AL-PEX laceration risk in comparison to traditional corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST).
What advantages does PEX-AL-PEX have over CSST, according to CPWR?
Due to the cross-linked polyethylene-aluminum in PEXALGAS pipe, installers benefit from additional tube thickness, durability, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The tube thickness, specifically, enhances installer safety because the cut edges are smoother than traditional CSST pipes. As a result, this significantly reduces the likelihood of lacerations.
