Viega 32225 Pex-b Tubing Blue 1/2 in 500 Ft Coil

Product Description

The VIEGA 32225 is a 1/2-inch blue PEX-B tubing supplied in a 500-foot coil, designed for residential and commercial plumbing distribution systems. Manufactured to ASTM F876 and F877 standards and listed to ANSI/NSF Standards 14 and 61, it meets the compliance requirements most jurisdictions demand for potable water service. The tubing carries a maximum pressure rating of 160 psi at 73 degrees F and 100 psi at 180 degrees F, covering the full range of typical domestic hot and cold water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this tubing as the primary water distribution line in new construction and retrofit projects.

This tubing is rated for both traditional chlorine-resistant (CL-TD) and continuous recirculation (CL-R) chlorine environments, making it suitable for systems with recirculating hot water loops as well as standard supply runs. The blue color coding identifies cold-water lines at a glance during rough-in, simplifying inspection and service. It is a non-oxygen barrier product, appropriate for open plumbing systems where oxygen barrier tubing is not required by the hydronic system design.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Use only fittings and tools rated and sized for 1/2-inch PEX-B tubing to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not use this non-oxygen barrier tubing in closed-loop hydronic heating systems that require oxygen barrier specification.
