U-TUBE PEXa-EVOH Pipe 16x2mm, 600m

The U-TUBE PEXa-EVOH pipe is a professional-grade solution for modern heating and plumbing systems. Engineered from high-quality cross-linked polyethylene, this 16x2mm pipe features an integrated EVOH oxygen barrier that significantly reduces oxygen diffusion into the system. This protective layer is essential for preventing the corrosion of metal components, such as boilers and radiators, thereby ensuring the longevity and reliability of the entire installation.

Advantages

This pipe offers exceptional flexibility, making it easy to route through tight spaces and around corners without the risk of kinking. Its robust construction provides excellent thermal resistance and durability under demanding operating conditions. The smooth inner surface minimizes pressure loss and prevents scale buildup, ensuring efficient fluid flow throughout the system's lifespan. The 600-meter length is ideal for large-scale projects, allowing for continuous runs with fewer connections.

Suitable for

• Underfloor heating systems
• Radiator heating connections
• Domestic hot and cold water plumbing
• Wall and ceiling heating or cooling systems

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is not intended for use in systems where temperatures or pressures exceed the manufacturer's specified limits. It should not be used in applications involving exposure to direct sunlight or UV radiation for extended periods, as this can degrade the material.

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Wall thickness: 2 mm
• Total length: 600 m
• Maximum working pressure: 15.7 atm
• Material: Cross-linked polyethylene (PEXa) with EVOH barrier
• Color: White

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified professionals using compatible fittings and tools designed for PEXa piping systems. Ensure the pipe is unrolled carefully to avoid unnecessary tension. When bending the pipe, adhere to the minimum bending radius specified for 16mm PEXa tubing to maintain structural integrity. Secure the pipe using appropriate clips or rails to prevent movement during the concrete pouring process or system operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the pipe diameter matches your existing system requirements.
• Ensure you have the correct compatible fittings for PEXa connections.
• Check the total length required for your project to minimize waste.
• Confirm that the operating pressure and temperature of your system are within the 15.7 atm limit.

Usage recommendations

Always pressure test the system after installation and before covering the pipes to ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
