In this way, will PEX hold air pressure?PEX-a pipe can withstand a burst pressure of around 800 psi (almost two times the requirement for ASTM F876, the standard specification for PEX tubing).Subsequently, question is, what PSI are SharkBite fitting hold? 200 psi what pipe should I use for compressed air? Black pipe is the most commonly used pipe recommended for compressed air systems. It is readily available, it is strong and durable and most people are familiar with how to install it.Does PEX burst?Due to its flexibility (polymers), PEX has a small margin of expansion under the damaging pressure caused by ice formation. If the weather gets cold enough, PEX pipes can and will freeze – – like any plumbing. However, PEX may be less likely to rupture as a result of freezing.
