Socketing and full bore

The socketing process of the pipe involves the use of a special tool that widens the pipe diameter.

This operation can only be performed on the Pexal pipes produced by Valsir as only a particular ratio between the thickness of the materials that make up the multilayer pipe (cross-linked polyethylene, adhesive and aluminium) and a high quality standard allow for expansion from the inside of the pipe without compromising the mechanical and physical characteristics of the pipe.

Thanks to the socketing process, the Pexal Easy system ensures a full bore and a significant reduction in pressure loss.

Socketing connection: anti-slip

Pexal Easy is an advanced system that involves the use of fittings entirely made of technopolymer which, thanks to the type of connection made by socketing the pipe, makes it impossible for the pipe to come away from the fitting.

Unlike other systems, with Pexal Easy there is no reduction in the bore caused by the fitting insert which means that pressure loss is greatly reduced, by an average of 30%.

Polyphenylsulfone

Polyphenylsufone is a technopolymer that provides exceptional mechanical performance, used mainly in automotive applications, in the aerospace and medical industry, and which in recent years is now widely used in the plumbing industry.

This material is characterised by high mechanical strength - even at high temperatures - and resistance to major chemical compounds.

The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and resistance to ageing, are far superior to those of normal polymers.

Ideal for applications in marine environments

Thanks to the exceptional physical, chemical and mechanical properties of Pexal Easy installations can be made in direct contact with sea water without compromising performance in any way.
