General Installation Guidelines

Layouts, Examples, Manifold Systems and Common Problems to Avoid

Hybrid Systems/Combination Install

Hybrid Systems

WHAT: Hybrid systems combine multiple plumbing

connection types within one system. Example: A branch

run may be plumbed in F1807 whereas an arterial water

main may be plumbed in copper or CPVC.

HOW: PowerPEX offers quality tube and quality ttings.

Each is independently warranted regardless of system

installation as long as they are in a compliant tube +

tting mix. Note: F1960 ttings must use PEX-A tubing.

WHEN: Hybrid applications work perfectly (as depicted on

pg 29) in applications where a header is plumbed in a

more thermally stable tubing offering while branching

off to a more exible and cost-effective connection

system solution.

WHY: A plumber or building owner should not be

restricted from choosing the strongest connection system

that an application may require, or a connection system

they are not comfortable with, or that does not allow

them to compete.
