3 We re Solving Smarter At Zurn, we aren t just a product and service provider, we re problem solvers continuously focused on water control, safety and conservation. From our drains, to our backflow products, finish plumbing, piping systems, and of course, our full line of PEX products, we are known throughout the industry as a reliable leader. FULL LINE PROVIDER For nearly four decades, Zurn has been the leader in ASTM F1807/F2159 crimp piping systems, offering a comprehensive line of lead-free brass and CR Polymer corrosion resistant plastic fittings, from 3/8" to 2", including tees, elbows, couplings, adapters, valves, stubouts, manifolds, tools, and installation accessories. With the addition of our ASTM F1960 Expansion product line, Zurn now provides the most comprehensive offering of PEX products. Our PEX pipe, a standard in the industry for years, is third-party certified for use with both F1807/F2159 crimp and F1960 expansion fittings and accessories, while continuing to set the bar for chlorine and UV resistance. Backed by our industry-leading 25-Year Warranty 1, you can trust Zurn as your PEX provider. 1 See full warranty for complete details. 3

5 A Superior Expansion PEX System With the addition of our complete Expansion PEX System, Zurn is your singular source when it comes to all of your commercial and residential PEX needs. You won t just get the job done your way you ll know it s done right with visual installation and an intuitive connection that eliminates dry fitting (and the potential for leaks). ZURN S F1960 EXPANSION FITTINGS AND RINGS Available in both lead-free brass and high strength corrosion resistant polymer, in sizes 1/2" through 2", Zurn s fittings are efficiently manufactured to the strictest of standards. We offer a patent pending line of expansion rings and a full line of tees, elbows, couplings, adapters, stub ells, test plugs, valves, and multi-port fittings. Our pipe and fittings are third-party certified to provide you with the peace-of-mind that it will perform up to the strictest requirements. Since our system is manufactured to the ASTM F1960 standard, your current F1960 expansion tool is all you ll need. Our high strength expansion rings and PEX piping do not require as many expansions as other commercially available F1960 fitting systems in comparable conditions, so you can install faster. PEXa, PEXb, and PEXc is a Grading System The myth that PEXa, PEXb, and PEXc is a distinction between good, better and best is simply not true. The a-b-c designation is a European classification that refers to the manufacturing method of the pipe. The a designated the pipe was manufactured using the Engel method, b designates the silane method, and c the Electron Beam method. Truth is that all PEX pipe is made to the same exacting standards and must be third-party certified for use in North America. While there are some subtle differences in burst strength, flexibility, and chlorine/uv resistance levels, truth is that Zurn s PEX pipe, using the silane manufacturing method, far exceeds the strength standards, achieves the highest UV/chlorine rating, and is fully certified for use with both ASTM F1807/F2159 crimp and ASTM F1960 expansion fittings and accessories. 5

7 Jobsites Change, We ve Got You Covered As the largest provider of crimp fittings to residential builders in the US and with the broadest range of products, we ve got the fitting system most appropriate for your installation whether it s our highly engineered polymer CR Fitting System, that is highly resistant to chlorine and other chemicals present in potable water, or the always reliable XL Brass Fitting System. In addition, we offer three different clamp fitting systems: the QickClamp, the Copper Crimp Ring, and the Stainless Steel Clamp Ring system. Copper Crimp Ring QickCap Copper Crimp Ring accurately positions crimp ring on piping to ensure proper installation. QICKCLAMP SYSTEM Patented technology One tool system Available in 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" 25-year system warranty By NSF International as meeting the following standards: ASTM F877 / CAN/CSA B137.5 / NSF Standard 14 COPPER CRIMP RING SYSTEM Proven system for over 30 years Copper Crimp Ring available in 3/8" - 2" QickCap Copper Crimp Ring with Positioning Cap, QCR_XPC available in 1/2" - 2" 25-year system warranty By NSF International as meeting the following standards: ASTM F877 / ASTM F1807/F2159 / CAN/CSA B137.5 NSF Standard 14 STAINLESS STEEL CLAMP RING SYSTEM One tool system Positive grip stays in place during installation Available in 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1" 15-year system warranty By NSF International as meeting the following standards: ASTM F877 / ASTM F2098 / CAN/CSA B137.5 NSF Standard 14 7

8 A PIPE THAT S BUILT-TO-LAST 8

9 Made to Outperform the Competition Zurn utilizes a patented variation of the silane method that produces the highest temperature/pressure resistance, flexibility, highest chlorine rating, extended UV resistance, colors and can be used with insert/crimp fittings, as well as expansion fittings. Our products are engineered to perform in the toughest plumbing conditions and stand the test of time. DURABILITY STRENGTH FLEXIBILITY RELIABILITY Our patented PEX formulation allows for us to build a PEX resin blend with the highest stabilizer package in the industry. Coupled with our fittings our systems are designed and tested to stand up to the toughest of conditions. Due to this manufacturing flexibility, our products achieve the highest chlorine resistance rating defined by ASTM and up to 6 months of UV resistance. Strength in a plumbing system is measured in temperature and pressure resistance not bending a tube back and forth until it breaks. While all commercially available PEX systems must pass very stringent ASTM requirements, Zurn s PEX piping goes above and beyond due to our patented higher strength base resin material and cross-linking process. Strength and flexibility are a delicate balance when engineering a PEX product. The key is to develop a resin formulation that is high strength, yet flexible enough to be expanded and bent in a tight radius. Considering that our PEX can be bent as tightly as any PEX on the market and it is expandable we believe we have achieved the optimal balance. Zurn Industries, founded in 1900 has earned a reputation as a high quality and innovative manufacturer who can be relied upon for the most challenging conditions. From our drain products, to our backflow products, finish plumbing, piping systems and beyond, we are known throughout the industry as a leader. With nearly four decades of flexible piping experience, you can trust in the Zurn name. Silane Method Pex Pipe Cannot be Used with Expansion Fittings This long propagated industry myth is simply false. Zurn s PEX products have always been approved and listed for use with ASTM F1960 expansion fittings. Zurn s proprietary blend of materials, rigorous attention to quality, and extensive product testing provides superior pipe that sets the standard for chlorine and UV protection under either installation method. 9
