From the Spec Sheet: Maximum Working Pressure: 160psi (11 bar) @ 73.4�F (23�C) 100psi (6.9 bar) @ 180�F (80�C) 80psi (5.5 bar) @ 200�F (93�C) So following that on down to the working pressure of the vanagon cooling system, it would be pretty dag-on hot. Some quick lookup of PEX in general said it could go up to 150 degrees C! Would need of course to get more info on this particular material. I also could find no info on tolerance to coolant, but I gave up pretty soon. When I was playing with my CPVC heater shut off valve, my internet research said that CPVC was not tolerant of automotive coolants. I had mine in service for almost a year though, and it seemed fine when I took it out. Edward At 06:50 PM 6/17/2012, Dave Mcneely wrote: >Is that 200 C or 200 F?
