                   In Warm Water Floor Heating

  

 

 

Tubing: We use the "easi-fit" pex-al-pex tubing because of its strength, flexibility and form stability, which leads to a good insulation of strong pipework with a 100% oxygen barrier and smooth stable bends (that won't kink or collapse during screeding)

                 

 

Properties of Easi-fit Pipe

 

Form stable:
Easi-fit Pipe can be easily bent or shaped by hand and still retains its shape - no spring back. Pipe benders and springs are available for tighter bends.

Cross Linked Structure:
The sonically welded Aluminium pipe is bonded internally and externally to fully cross-linked PE pipes, giving Easi-fit Pipe added strength compared to plastic pipes.

Working Life:
When installed according to our manual Easi-fit Pipe has a working life in excess of 50 years
.

100% Oxygen Barrier:
The welded aluminium layer forms a complete oxygen barrier to protect any ferrous metal in the system e.g. pump, boiler, radiator.

Hygiene:
The internal polyethylene layer is so smooth that scale or fur does not build up, there is no risk of micro-organism growth so Easi-fit Pipe can be used for drinking water systems.
