Back in 1997, Qual-PEX was the first PEX pipe ever to be approved with the BS 7291 kitemark and now the Qual-PLUMB pushfit system is also approved to the highest classification (Class C) with that standard. Qual-PEX barrier pipe is also approved by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) - Qual-PEX is also approved by WRAS (formerly WRC) for drinking water applications - British Gas have accepted Qual-PEX pipe systems for use on the water side of open vented and sealed central heating systems but Qual-PEX must never be used on gas.

 

The Qual-PLUMB pushfit system is guaranteed against any material or manufacturing defect for a period of 25 years under normal service conditions. This applies on all types of mains fed and pressurised plumbing systems and both open-vented and sealed heating systems subject to operating limits specified in BS 7291

 
SYSTEM TYPE   MAX OPERATING PRESSURE   MAX OPERATING TEMP
COLD WATER   12 BAR   20 °C
OPEN VENTED CH SYSTEM   4 BAR   82 °C
SEALED CH SYSTEM   3 BAR   92 °C
 
The Qual-PLUMB pushfit system will also withstand short term overloads of 114ºC, as specified in BS 7291 Class S. For all technical information consult the Qual-PLUMB Installation Guide.
