Materials
RadonX pipes and fittings are manufactured from PVC compounds that comply with the material requirements of CSA B181.2 “PVC Drain, Waste and Vent Pipe and Pipe Fittings”.

Installation
RadonX pipe and fittings are designed and tested as a system by IPEX Inc. Mixing of pipe, fittings or joining methods from different manufacturers is not allowed as they have different joint systems and adhesives.
