How Our PEX Pricing Works
Our PEX Cylinder Exchange Program is designed to offer you a cost-effective and efficient solution to manage your equipment's cylinder needs. Here's a breakdown of how our pricing works.
OEM Price
The OEM price is the baseline cost for a brand-new cylinder component. This is the full price you would pay for a new part without participating in the PEX program.
Initial PEX/New Cylinder Price (70% of OEM Price)
When you choose to participate in our PEX program, you receive a refurbished cylinder that meets the same performance and reliability standards as a new one. The initial price for a PEX or new cylinder is set at 70% of the OEM price, offering significant savings while ensuring top-quality performance.
Flat Rate (50% of OEM Price)
For ongoing maintenance and exchanges after the initial purchase, we offer a flat rate that is 50% of the OEM price. This rate applies each time you exchange your cylinder through our PEX program after the first exchange.
Core Charge (20% of OEM Price)
The core charge is a part of our sustainable practice to encourage the return of used cylinders. It is 20% of the OEM price and is refunded to you when you return a used cylinder. This ensures that we recycle and refurbish parts, contributing to environmental conservation and reducing waste.
