ARCO PEX/AL/PEX Pipe D32x3 mm

The ARCO PEX/AL/PEX pipe with a 32 mm outer diameter and 3 mm wall thickness is a high-performance multilayer composite solution engineered for modern plumbing and heating systems. By integrating an aluminum core between layers of high-quality polyethylene, this pipe offers a robust combination of flexibility and structural integrity. It is designed to withstand demanding operating conditions while providing a reliable oxygen barrier, which helps protect metal components in heating circuits from corrosion.

Advantages

This composite pipe excels due to its unique construction that balances the ease of installation associated with plastic pipes and the durability of metal. The aluminum layer significantly reduces thermal expansion, ensuring the pipe maintains its shape and stability even when subjected to temperature fluctuations. Its high pressure resistance makes it a dependable choice for both residential and commercial infrastructure. Furthermore, the material is inherently resistant to corrosion and chemical buildup, which contributes to a long service life and consistent flow performance over many years.

Suitable for

• Domestic hot and cold water supply systems
• Radiator heating and underfloor heating installations
• Renovation of existing piping networks
• Industrial fluid transport systems with compatible pressure requirements

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is not intended for use in systems where operating pressures exceed the specified 9.8 atm limit. It should also not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods or used in applications involving temperatures that exceed the manufacturer's thermal rating for PEX/AL/PEX materials.

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 32 mm
• Wall thickness: 3 mm
• Material: Polyethylene (PE) and Aluminium
• Working pressure: 9.8 atm
• Flexibility: High
• Color: White
• Total length: 50 m

How to use

Installation should be performed using compatible fittings designed for multilayer composite pipes. The pipe can be easily bent by hand or with a bending tool to navigate corners without the need for excessive joints, which minimizes the risk of leaks. Ensure that the pipe ends are properly calibrated and deburred before inserting them into fittings to maintain a secure, watertight seal. Always follow local building codes and professional plumbing standards during the assembly process.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your existing fittings with 32 mm composite pipes
• Ensure the 9.8 atm pressure rating meets the requirements of your specific system
• Calculate the total length needed for your project, noting the 50 m coil size
• Confirm that the installation environment is protected from direct UV exposure

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp kinks during installation and ensure the pipe is supported by appropriate clips or brackets to prevent sagging over long runs.
