HeatLink Plumbing PEX Tubing

 

You can plumb your entire house with Heat-Link Plumbing PEX. The HeatLink Potable Water System features PureLink PEX-a tubing, the EasyFit manifold system. The unique HeatLink PEX-a process is based on a method developed during the 1970’s and uses organic peroxide to chemically cross-link the polyethylene during the manufacturing process. The PEX-a process produces a higher degree and greater uniformity in crosslinking, resulting product with significantly improved material properties with respect to temperature, pressure, strength and chemical resistance. Press sleeve technology has been used for decades worldwide in plumbing systems, and has also been used extensively for pneumatic and hydraulic applications.

HeatLink’s superior potable water system carries all necessary approvals for North American installations, and offers significant advantages and benefits in comparison to both copper and most common PEX plumbing systems in use today.

 

HeatLink EasyFit Plumbing PEX Manifolds

 

Heatlink EasyFit Plumbing PEX Manifolds - Example

Heatlink Easyfit Pex Manifolds come in 2 and 3 Port Tees and are sold with 1/2" PEX adapters. So just order the actual amount of ports you need and you should be good to go. There are several different End Connection you need to choose from as well as 3/4" Tee to allow you to send hot or cold water to a separte plumbing manifold in a different location. If you want to use this manifold with 3/8 Inch PEX tubing - buy our Coupler 1/2 by 3/8 inch for each branch you want to use with 3/8 Inch PEX.


Use silicone lubricant to lubricate dry o-rings to ensure a tight seal.
In case a leak develops during testing, remove pressure from system, clean the o-ring, and reapply silicon lube.
When placing the manifold into the supporting bracket, place the bottom snap-in lock in the bottom (braced) notch in bracket and then rotate it so that the top snaps into place.
In order to prevent stress on the manifold supply end connections, the supply piping must be braced or supported, parallel to the manifold and centred with the manifold’s inlets.  Please visit us at  Houseneeds.com to purchase products.

When you save energy, you're saving money and the environment!

An energy-efficient home will keep your family comfortable while saving you money. Whether you take simple steps or make larger investments to make your home more efficient, you'll see lower energy bills. Over time, those savings will typically pay for the cost of improvements and put money back in your pocket. Your home may also be more attractive to buyers when you sell.

The 113 million residences in America today collectively use an estimated 22% of the country's energy. Unfortunately, a lot of energy is wasted through leaky windows or ducts, old appliances, or inefficient heating and cooling systems. When we waste energy in our homes, we are throwing away money that could be used for other things. The typical U.S. family spends at least $2,000 a year on home utility bills.

You can save 10% - 50% each year by making smart energy choices.

Solar Heating Tax Credit up until December 31, 2016 Solar Water Heating Federal Tax Credit Solar Heating can save you up to 30% on your taxes in addition to year-round savings on your energy bill.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed a stimulus bill (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made some significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits. At least half of the energy generated by the “qualifying property” must come from the sun. Homeowners may only claim spending on the solar water heating system property, not the entire water heating system of the household. Solar Heating Tax Credits are not limited to the $1,500.00 Tax Credit Cap. The credit is not available for expenses for swimming pools or hot tubs. The water must be used in the dwelling. The system must be certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). Improvements made up until December 31, 2016 can be claimed on your taxes (filed by April 15, 2017) — use IRS Tax Form 5695 (2009 version). For more information on the bill, check out the U.S. Department of Energy website. What is a tax credit? A Solar Water Heating Tax Credit is not received when you buy the product, like an instant rebate. A Tax Credit on Solar Water Heating System is claimed on your federal income tax form at the end of the year. The credit then increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount paid in. Tax credits vs. tax deductions. In general, a tax credit is more valuable than a similar tax deduction. A tax credit reduces the tax you pay, dollar-for-dollar. Tax deductions – such as those for home mortgages and charitable giving, for example – lower your taxable income. If you are in the 30 percent tax bracket, your income tax is reduced by 30 percent of the value of a tax deduction. But a tax credit reduces your federal income tax by 100 percent of the amount of the credit. For more information on Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency, click here.

Perfect Summer Project

Only you can control the sources of pollutants in your home, but Fantech HEPA Filtration can help provide ventilation and filtration. Tighter houses prevent outside air from getting in, but they also prevent indoor air pollutants and allergens from carpet, pets, mold, plants, cooking and tobacco smoke from getting out. Your family could be breathing air that is five times more polluted than the air outside.

 Fantech’s Whole House HEPA installs on your home’s forced air furnace/air handler or can be used as an independent system mounted in the attic, crawl space or closet. The unit is small, compact and very affordable. A powerful 240 CFM fan directs air through a series of three filters then delivers clean, safe, healthy air back into your entire home. Don't let invisible indoor air pollutants affect your home and the health of your family.

Why Choose A Whole House HEPA Over A Portable Filtration Unit? Portable HEPA units are designed to clean only the air in a single room or small area of the home. The Fantech Whole House HEPA will clean the total volume of air in an average house once each hour. Ideal for homes up to 3600 sq. ft.

Did You Know?

• HEPA filters are the #1 choice of physicians and are often used in hospital operating rooms where clean air environments are required
• 94% of all respiratory ailments are caused by polluted air
• 85% of Americans don't realize the air in their home may be a health hazard

Did You Know...

HousePex's molecular orientation is achieved during extrusion, which is a very unique process. Peroxide cross-linking occurs simultaneously with the orientation and guarantees optimal tubing properties (pex stands for polyethylene cross-linked).

EVOH - Refers to a type of oxygen barrier that is commonly used in Pex Tubing. EVOH stands for ethylene vinyl alcohol, this compound prevents oxygen diffusion and is bonded to the Pex during the manufacturing process.

HousePex is Manufactured in Sweden on state-of-the-art
extruding machines, uses Peroxide Extrusion which is the most
flexible / strongest and meets SDR-9 specification (standard dimensional ratio).

Whole House Fan Basics

On a sunny day the temperature of an attic can reach as high as 140 degrees! And this high temperature in your attic will keep the indoor temperature higher than the outdoor temperature for several (or more) hours after the sun goes down.

By pulling heat out of your home with the a Whole House Fan, cooler outside air is drawn into the home. The heated air is then pushed out of your home through the attic vents. WHF's can make you more comfortable and could reduce your air conditioning bills.

When you choose a fan, divide that fans cfm by 750 (1 square foot of opening for each 750 cfm (cubic feet per minute) of airflow). This number determines the amount of square footage of net free air required to properly vent. To allow for any restrictions created by screening and louvers multiply that number by 2. This number is the minimum square footage of venting required for the fan to exhaust properly. One can choose a combination of ridge, soffit and/or gable venting to make up the square footage.

The benefits of a PEX Radiant Heat System:

Comfort - It may be freezing outside, but your pex radiant heat system will keep you warm from head to toe. Nothing compares to the comfort and surrounding warmth of a pex underfloor radiant heat system in your home using our PEX Tubing. We have PEX-A, PEX-C and Alum PEX Tubing.


Efficiency - Radiant Heat with PEX is the most efficient heating system available. Radiant underfloor heat costs less to heat your home than any other type of heating system by being able to lower the thermostat temperture while still staying toasty warm. Generally, you can save 15 to 20% as compared to forced-air or hydronic baseboard heating systems.


Zoning - With pex radiant heat, you can zone different areas of your home to different temperatures to fit your lifestyle, unlike central heating and air.


Flexibility - A radiant floor heating system can be installed under practically any type of flooring, such as carpeting, tile, linoleum, wood floors, etc. Easily add underfloor heat to small areas such as bathrooms or kitchens.


Improves Air Quality - PEX Radiant Heat reduces dust mites and air borne allergens by 60%-90%. No other heating system reduces allergies as effectively as radiant heat.


Interior Decorating Freedom - PEX Radiant heat systems are installed with PEX Tubing and is within the structure of your home, which means you will not have to consider vents, hydronic baseboards, hydronic radiators, or drafty areas when decorating and furnishing your home.


Adds Value to Your Home - There are many other potential implementations of pex radiant heat in your home such as heating your garage or melting snow from your driveway in winter. A radiant heating system will increase the value of your home more than it costs to install.

Surge Suppressor and Power Conditioning Systems

On residential units we emphasize the PowerGUARD’s ability to protect the whole house. In fact, the PowerGUARD is ETL listed for spike and surge suppression. A common misconception is that the PG is capacitor driven. It is a magnetic choke based system that improves Power Factor inductively. Along with the energy savings, the power quality is improved (better balanced voltage, reduced amperage and spike / surge protection)which is far more than a capacitor can offer.

With all the heat pump and HVAC applications in the southern part of the country, there is ample opportunity for energy savings for the average homeowner. Some solar installers include a PowerGUARD unit in each application as it protects the Photo Voltaic system from spikes, surges and helps the system last longer as well as reducing total usage for the homeowner.
