Three main product families, PEX pipe tubing, PEX-AL-PEX composite tube, and clear braided vinyl tubing, with sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch and coil lengths of 100 feet to 1,000 feet, make up VEVOR's pipe lineup. VEVOR provides the appropriate pipe type at a reasonable cost with dependable after-sales service, whether you are connecting irrigation or aquarium equipment, establishing a new potable water system, or operating a radiant floor heating loop.
Do you need oxygen-barrier PEX for a closed-loop hydronic floor-heating system, non-barrier PEX for a typical potable water supply line, PEX-AL-PEX tubing with an inner aluminum layer for increased rigidity, or clear braided vinyl tubing for irrigation and aquarium use? Plumbers, do-it-yourselfers, and contractors can choose the appropriate pipe type for each application with VEVOR's wide variety of pipes without going over budget for extra features.
The three types of pipes offered by VEVOR are standard PEX pipes (with and without an oxygen barrier), PEX-AL-PEX composite tubes, and vinyl tubes. These varieties differ not only in material but also in the uses for which each pipe is safe and appropriate.
For open-loop radiant floor heating and potable water supply lines, non-barrier PEX pipes are preferred. Since the loops in these systems are either routinely refilled or vented, oxygen intrusion from the pipe wall does not harm system components, and dissolved oxygen in the water is not an issue. PEX-B and PEX-A grades in 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 7/8-inch, and 1-inch diameters are offered in 100-foot, 300-foot, and 500-foot coils with red, blue, and white color codes in VEVOR's non-barrier PEX pipe tubing line.
Red denotes hot water lines, blue denotes cold water lines, and white is utilized in situations where color distinction is not necessary. The color coding is a practical installation help rather than a material difference. With a complimentary pipe cutter and clamps included, VEVOR's PEX-B non-barrier pipe coils in 3/4-inch at 500 feet ($163.90 to $165.90) and 1/2-inch at 300 feet ($61.90) are ready to install without needing to buy extra supplies separately. When replacing separate hot and cold runs at the same time, PEX-A variations in paired red-and-blue sets of 2 x 100 feet ($59.90 for 1/2-inch and $91.90 for 3/4-inch) are ideal for modest home installations and restoration projects.
Despite their superficial similarities, oxygen barrier PEX and non-barrier PEX pipes are fundamentally different products. It has an EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol) layer on the exterior of the pipe that significantly slows the rate at which oxygen enters the system's water through the pipe wall. Iron-containing parts, including boilers, manifolds, and cast-iron pumps, corrode internally when oxygen enters a closed-loop hydronic radiant floor heating system, where the same water flows constantly without replenishment. In a closed-loop heating system, using non-barrier pipe causes progressive corrosion damage that, over several heating seasons, can destroy the boiler and pump assembly.
The oxygen barrier pex series from VEVOR includes coils with diameters of 1/2, 3/4, and 5/8 inches, spanning 300 to 1,000 feet. The most economical entry for a single-zone home floor-heating loop is 1/2-inch oxygen-barrier PEX at 300 feet in red ($50.99). Installations with distinct supply and return loop color coding are suitable for the paired 300-foot red-and-blue oxygen barrier set ($106.90). The 500-foot 3/4-inch barrier coil ($179.90) and the 1,000-foot 1/2-inch barrier coil ($152.99) are suitable for larger multi-zone residential or commercial floor-heating applications, where a single large coil minimizes the number of mid-run joints required in the loop.
The PEX AL PEX tube creates a composite construction that combines the flexibility of PEX with the shape-retention and additional oxygen barrier qualities of aluminum by bonding an inner layer of aluminum between two layers of cross-linked polyethylene. An important installation benefit in exposed or semi-concealed pipework where the pipe must remain formed without clamps at every curve is the aluminum layer's ability to support bends without springing back.
The 5/8-inch diameter, 984-foot roll of VEVOR's PEX-AL-PEX tube ($131.96) has a 0.08-inch wall thickness and an integrated oxygen barrier through the aluminum layer. This feature makes it suitable for applications where a stiffer, shape-holding pipe is preferred over fully flexible PEX, such as radiant floor heating, certain gas piping applications, and standard plumbing where permitted by local code. PEX-AL-PEX can be used directly in closed-loop hydronic systems without an additional EVOH-coated outer layer, as the aluminum layer provides an intrinsic oxygen barrier. Additionally, it is easy to connect to existing manifolds and distribution systems because it is compatible with conventional compression-style PEX-AL-PEX fittings.
PEX pipe tubing and clear braided vinyl tubing have entirely distinct uses. High-strength PVC with a woven braid reinforcement between the inner and outer layers provides flexibility and pressure resistance, while a completely transparent housing makes flow visible. The clear braided vinyl tubing from VEVOR comes in a 10-foot length, with a 3/4-inch ID x 19/20-inch OD and a 1/10-inch wall thickness, for $18.90.
Aquarium water circulation, garden irrigation, swimming pool plumbing, and general fluid transfer applications that require a lightweight, transparent, non-metallic tube can all benefit from PVC's chemical inertness. It lacks the heat tolerance of PEX pipe and is not suitable for radiant heating loops or hot-water supplies, as it is not cross-linked polyethylene. Its usefulness lies in its transparency and ease of cutting; the tubing can be cut to any length with a utility knife or regular scissors, and its transparent wall allows users to spot airlocks, debris buildup, or discoloration in the fluid stream right away.
In any plumbing or heating installation, choosing the appropriate pipe size directly affects flow rate, pressure loss, and the total number of fittings required. The pipe range from VEVOR offers distinct size options that correspond to typical home and business application settings.
The four nominal sizes of VEVOR's PEX pipe range are 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch, 7/8-inch, and 1-inch. The standard loop size for home radiant floor heating is 1/2-inch PEX tubing, which attaches directly to standard 1/2-inch manifold ports without the need for reducers and provides sufficient flow for typical loop lengths up to 300 feet. For medium-load zones or systems that need a slightly higher flow capacity per loop, the 5/8-inch oxygen barrier PEX pipe at 500 feet ($143.90) bridges the gap between 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch.
The ideal diameter for radiant heating manifold supply lines or main supply and return trunks supplying numerous branch circuits in a residential plumbing system is 3/4-inch pipe. VEVOR's non-barrier coils, available in 300-foot and 500-foot lengths ($162.90 to $245.90) and with a 1-inch diameter, are used for commercial-grade heating distribution and main supply runs where flow volume exceeds what a 3/4-inch can effectively deliver. 1/2-inch non-barrier PEX in 100-foot or 300-foot coils spans the entire route without mid-run joints, making it the preferred choice for most homeowners replacing branch supply lines to individual fixtures.
Because VEVOR's PEX pipe tubing comes in coil lengths of 100, 300, 500, and 1,000 feet, customers can precisely match the quantity to the project without going over budget. A 100-foot coil is ideal for a small bathroom makeover or a single branch run. In a mid-size space, a 300-foot coil can cover one heating loop or several branch lines. For whole-house plumbing projects or multi-zone heating installations, when reducing the number of joints is important, a 500-foot coil is suitable.
For large-area radiant floor heating projects, the 1,000-foot coil of 1/2-inch oxygen-barrier PEX ($152.99) offers the lowest price per foot in the range. Two 1,000-foot coils cover the entire installation because a 2,000-square-foot heated floor area usually requires between 1,500 and 2,000 feet of 1/2-inch loop pipe. The 10-foot piece of vinyl tubing is ideal for spot applications where a large coil would produce excessive waste, such as running a small irrigation branch or connecting a water pump to an aquarium filter.
Homeowners, plumbers, and contractors can choose from a wide variety of flexible PEX pipe, oxygen-barrier PEX for hydronic floor heating, PEX-AL-PEX composite tube, and clear braided vinyl tubes from VEVOR's pipe range at competitive prices, in sizes and coil lengths that meet actual project requirements. Purchasing the ideal pipe from VEVOR is easy and affordable, thanks to their dependable after-sales service for all products. View the entire selection of pipes and place your purchase right now.
An EVOH layer in the oxygen barrier PEX prevents oxygen from entering the system water through the pipe wall. In closed-loop hydronic heating systems, it is necessary to stop metal components from corroding internally. When oxygen intrusion is not an issue, non-barrier PEX is appropriate for open-loop heating and potable water.
Indeed, both potable water supply applications, hot and cold, can use VEVOR's PEX-B and PEX-A pipes. Although the material is the same in both hues, red pipes are often utilized for hot lines and blue pipes for cold lines. When color coding is not necessary, white PEX is utilized.
Because of the inner aluminum layer, which prevents spring-back, PEX-AL-PEX tubing maintains its shape after bending. It is also appropriate for closed-loop heating systems without an additional EVOH coating, as the aluminum layer provides an intrinsic oxygen barrier. It works well in semi-exposed installations where shape retention is important, as it is stiffer than standard PEX.
Made from high-strength PVC, VEVOR's clear braided vinyl tubing is ideal for general fluid transfer applications, aquariums, irrigation systems, and swimming pools. Before installation, confirm the product's food-grade certification for usage with potable water. It is not intended for radiant heating loops or hot water.
A 300-foot coil is usually adequate for a single heating zone covering about 150 to 200 square feet, using 1/2-inch pipe on 12-inch centers. A 500- or 1,000-foot coil reduces the number of mid-loop joints and the cost per foot compared to buying several shorter coils for multi-zone systems or larger floor spaces.
