Viega 32101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and length is Viega 32101 PureFlow PEX, and why is it red?
Viega PureFlow 32101 is 3/8 inch PEX tubing in a 100 foot coil, colored red. Red is the trade convention for hot water runs, with blue used for cold, so plumbers can tell the two apart at the manifold and in the wall after drywall goes up. The color does not change the tubing itself.
2) What fittings do I need for Viega PureFlow 3/8 inch PEX tubing?
PureFlow is Viega's PEX system, and this is PEX tubing, so it takes 3/8 inch PEX fittings sized to the tubing, not to pipe thread. Viega's PureFlow line uses press sleeve connections, so you need 3/8 inch PureFlow fittings with matching sleeves and the press tool. No fittings, sleeves, or clamps ship with the coil itself.
3) Will 3/8 inch PEX work for a whole-bathroom branch feeding a shower?
No. Use 1/2 inch or larger for a shower or any branch serving more than one fixture. 3/8 inch tubing like the 32101 coil has too little cross section for showerhead flow at typical pressures and you will see pressure drop the moment a second fixture opens. Keep 3/8 inch for individual lavatory, toilet, and appliance drops.
4) Is Viega PureFlow PEX made in the USA? I have a domestic-content requirement on this job.
Viega 32101 PureFlow PEX tubing is listed as Made in USA, which is what institutional and government buyers working to a domestic preference clause need on the submittal. The manufacturer part number to put on the paperwork is 32101.
5) Can I run this red PEX for a cold water line if that is all I have on the truck?
Yes. Red and blue PureFlow PEX of the same size are the same tubing; the color is only an identification aid. Running red on cold works mechanically, but it will confuse the next tech who opens the wall, and some inspectors and spec jobs call for color coding by service. If the job is inspected, order the blue 3/8 inch coil for cold.
6) How much does a 100 foot coil of Viega 32101 PEX weigh and how big is the coil?
The coil weighs 5 lbs and measures 28 x 28 x 3 inches as packaged. That is a one-hand carry up a ladder and it fits in a van or truck bed without a rack, which is part of why PEX gets used over copper on repipes in occupied units.
7) Can PEX tubing be used outdoors or in direct sunlight?
Keep it covered. PEX, including Viega PureFlow, is an interior and buried-in-structure product and is not meant for long-term UV exposure, so store the coil out of sun and sleeve or protect any short exterior run. It also must not be used downstream of a point where it would see open flame or direct exposure to a water heater flue.
