Mr. Pex Accessories - Thermal Products Inc

North American marketplace. Mr PEX® Tubing, is considerably more flexible, kink-resistant and able to hold more
pressure than any other PEX Tubing on the market today.
Mr PEX® Tubing and Slinky® have a lot in common.
®
Mr PEX Tubing
Mr PEX® Systems is one of the leading radiant floor heating and domestic hot and cold water systems suppliers in
A Slinky® is suspended on elastic threads around itself. There is no reinforcement
along its length. Thus making it free to move and remarkably flexible. The shape
remains round. It never kinks, although the bending radius is minimal.
Similarly, PEX molecular chains extend around the tubing like the Slinky®
string circles around itself. This makes Mr. PEX® Tubing extremely flexible
and kink-resistant. The molecular chain is aligned to resist stress around its
perimeter. It is unusually strong, resisting inside pressure.
The molecular orientation is achieved during extrusion which is a very unique process.
Crosslinking occurs simultaneously with the orientation. Peroxide crosslinking guarantees
optimal Tubing properties. See Sample Specification below.
Sample Specification for Mr PEX® Tubing
• Tubing shall be crosslinked polyethylene in accordance with ASTM F 876 as manufactured by LK PEX AB. Tubing shall be listed to
ASTM F 876/877 by an independent third party testing laboratory.
• Independent listing agency shall perform at least 3 unannounced control visits to the production plant annually, and perform its own
tests in accordance with ASTM F 876/877.
• Tubing shall be temperature and pressure rated by the Hydrostatic Stress Board of PPI (Plastics Pipe Institute) at all 3 temperatures
mentioned in ASTM F 876/877. The rating shall be as follows: 160 psi at 73.4°F; 100 psi at 180°F; 80 psi at 200°F
• Tubing shall be made from polyethylene compounds which have been crosslinked by peroxides in extrusion (PEX-a).
• The barrier tubing shall have an EVOH oxygen barrier capable of limiting oxygen diffusion to no greater than 0.1 g/m3/day at 104°F
as per DIN 4726. Tubing sizes 3/8” and 1/2“ shall also have a thin coating of PE on top of the barrier in order to reduce noise when
installed in Alu plates.
• Tubing shall be available in minimum 5 size s in coils of up to 600 ft. for nominal size 3/8”, 1,600 ft. for 1/2”, 1,000 ft. for 5/8”, 500 ft.
for 3/4”, and 300 ft. for 1”.
• Tubing density shall not exceed 932 kg/m3 in order to be adequately flexible to install.
• Tubing shall be able to be exposed to a bending radius of less than 4 times the actual outside diameter without kinking.
• Tubing shall be indelibly marked with trade name, size, SDR, pressure rating 100 psi at 180°F, ASTM standard reference, independent
third party certifiers mark, production date, and running ft. length - every third ft. The marking on barrier tubing shall be protected by at
least one protective plastic layer and still be clear to read.
• Running ft. marking shall start from 0 at the inside of each coil - so that the installer will always know how much Tubing is left in each coil.
• Every coil shall have an inside diameter exceeding 15 inches, so that memory-effect of its coiling is minimal.
• Every box of Tubing shall carry warning on labels instructing to limit exposure to sunlight and to not allow embedded Tubing to freeze.
• Tubing shall have a 25 year warranty and liability insurance covering at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, both by Manufacturer and
US Distributor.

Controllers
Part No. VM62
This compact control motor is designed to
operate the 4-way valves. The operating range
of 90° corresponds to the maximum turn of the
4-way valves (fully open to completely closed.
The valve can be manually operated by the knob
on the front when not controlled by separate
regulator. The unit runs on 24 V AC and draws
6.5 Watts. A 60 in. cable for connection to
transformer is included. The maximum torque
provided is 45 in. per lb.
Part No. TC62D
The TC62D is the VM62 actuator with an
outdoor reset controller built right into the front
cover! Outdoor temperature sensor comes with
48 ft. of wire. Supply & return temperature
sensor wires are 6 ft. - like the Power cord.
The A-dial is the reset curve selector. The B-dial
can move the curve up to 11°F up or down.
The C-dial is where the maximum water
temperature limit is set - between 90 and 190°F.
Part No. V4R
The 4-way Mixing Valves are available in sizes
3/4” to 1.25” with brass sweat connections,
while 1.5” & 2” sizes are steel with female NPT
threads. Call for larger sizes. The valve has
a knob for manual operation, but is normally
replaced with one of the electronic valve
operators: Actuator VM 62 or TC 62. The
4-way valves have double mixing function, i.e.
a portion of the boiler hot water supplied is
mixed with the return water. So a higher return
water temperature results than with a 3-way
valve, thereby reducing the risk of shocking and
condensing the boiler.

giving it advantages of both metal and plastic pipe, but not the
disadvantages. The pipe conforms to ASTM F 1281 and IAPMO,
is pressure rated by PPI and certified by NSF. Since the thermal elongation and contraction is 9 times
less than for PEX, noise generation after installation is virtually eliminated.
