Wavin PE-RT/EVOH Heating Pipe 16x2.0mm, 200m

The Wavin PE-RT/EVOH heating pipe, measuring 16x2.0 mm with a total length of 200 meters, is a high-quality solution engineered for modern underfloor heating and radiator systems. Constructed from durable polyethylene, this pipe is designed to withstand the rigors of residential and commercial heating installations while maintaining consistent thermal performance. The integrated EVOH oxygen barrier is a critical feature that prevents oxygen diffusion into the heating circuit, effectively protecting metal components such as boilers and pumps from premature corrosion and extending the overall lifespan of the heating system.

Advantages

This heating pipe offers exceptional flexibility, which significantly simplifies the installation process, especially in complex floor layouts or tight spaces. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability under standard operating conditions. The inclusion of an oxygen barrier layer provides essential protection for the entire heating infrastructure, reducing maintenance needs and preventing system degradation caused by oxidation. The red color allows for easy identification during the construction phase, ensuring that the heating lines are clearly distinguished from other utility pipes.

Suitable for

• Underfloor heating systems
• Radiator connection systems
• Residential heating installations
• Commercial building climate control

This pipe may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial applications exceeding 6 atmospheres or for systems involving temperatures that consistently exceed the thermal limits of PE-RT material. It is also not intended for use in potable water supply systems or for outdoor installations exposed to direct, prolonged UV radiation.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene (PE-RT)
• Outer diameter: 16 mm
• Wall thickness: 2 mm
• Length: 200 m
• Working pressure: 6 atm
• Color: Red
• Flexibility: High

To install the pipe, ensure the surface is clean and free of sharp debris that could damage the outer layer. Unroll the pipe carefully using a decoiler to prevent kinking. Secure the pipe to the floor insulation using appropriate clips or mounting rails according to the planned heating circuit design. Once laid, connect the ends to the manifold using compatible fittings designed for 16 mm pipes. Always perform a pressure test before covering the pipes with screed to ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required pipe diameter for your specific manifold and heating system design.
• Ensure the 6 atm pressure rating is sufficient for your heating system requirements.
• Calculate the total length needed for your project to determine if a 200-meter coil is sufficient or if multiple coils are required.
• Confirm compatibility with your chosen pipe fittings and connection tools.

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to avoid sharp bends that exceed the manufacturer's minimum bending radius. Always follow local building codes and professional installation standards when integrating the pipe into a heating circuit.
