What if a tube breaks in a floor?
The Viega crosslinked PEX tubing is extremely durable and will not break in use. PEX tubing can be punctured, however, by an unknowing carpenter or flooring installer. In that case, a repair coupling would be used to eliminate the damage. Viega offers a 25 year warranty on ViegaPEX Barrier tubing used in hydronic radiant heating applications. Our PEX tubing is, however, expected to have a life that will outlast the structure it is installed in.
