HEPWORTH pipe for underfloor heating, 16 mm, 500m

Product detailed description

Polybutylene pipe PN3, 70°C for underfloor heating. Size 16 mm. Coil quantity: 500 metres.

minimum order is 500 metres

Dismountable straight-type fittings (straight version). Used for joining polybutylene pipe and copper pipe. It can be used for radiator heating, drinking water and underfloor heating. The internal collets grip the pipe and prevent it from being pulled out. To disassemble, simply unlock the fitting with a special tool and remove the pipe.

			The most important facts about the HEPWORTH system that you should know before DIY installation.
			Fully dismountable system.
			This means you can assemble the system, later take it apart, and reassemble it again. This is useful when you are not entirely sure about the heating installation.
			Installation without any tools.
			One of the system's biggest advantages is tool-free installation. This means the pipe is simply pushed into the fitting and the internal collet system locks it in place. When disassembling, you just unscrew the fitting, slide the collets off the pipe, then reassemble and tighten the fitting again, and it is ready for reuse.
			Universal use for all types of heating.
			All fittings, T-pieces, elbows and pipes are made of polybutylene, meaning you can use it for radiator heating installation, underfloor heating, or domestic hot water distribution. All diameters are backward compatible.
			Pipe made of polybutylene.
			Polybutylene - the oldest and, so far, best-proven material for heating and water distribution.
			Pipes with oxygen barrier
			All pipes are made with an EVOH oxygen barrier, which prevents oxygen molecules from penetrating the heating system. After several years, oxygen causes boiler corrosion and degrades the heating system. The oxygen barrier prevents this problem.
			Polybutylene is one of the most hygienic materials
			In terms of hygiene, polybutylene achieves the best results.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the difference between pipe for underfloor and wall heating? It is generally the same type of material in a different diameter - thinner pipe (e.g. 10 mm) is used for wall heating/cooling, where less installation space is available, while thicker pipe (e.g. 16 mm) is standard for typical underfloor heating with wider clip spacing.
• What is the service life and warranty of this type of pipe? Multilayer pipes of this type are manufactured with a declared long-term service life on the order of decades, provided the operating parameters (pressure, temperature) specified by the manufacturer are met - you will find the exact warranty terms in the manufacturer's accompanying documentation.
• Can I also use this pipe for drinking-water distribution? This depends on the specific certificate for the given pipe type (hygiene certificate for contact with drinking water) - please verify this in the technical parameters or ask our customer service before using it for drinking-water distribution.
• How is the pipe laid into the system panel? The pipe is pressed into the studs (mushroom-shaped pegs) of the system insulation panel of the corresponding diameter, which hold it firmly in place at the required spacing until it is covered by the screed.
• Must the installation be carried out by a professional? Laying the pipe into the prepared panel/system can be handled by a skilled DIY enthusiast, but we recommend having the connection to the manifold, the pressure test and the circuit's commissioning checked by a professional before the screed is poured.
