PEX pipe - 17x2; PN6-T=+90°C, PN10-T=+60°C - 240m

Product detailed description

IVAR.PE-Xa pipe, size 17 x 2 mm, pack 240 m.

Single-layer pipe made of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) with an internal oxygen barrier - this prevents atmospheric oxygen from diffusing through the pipe wall into the heating water, thereby protecting the metal parts of the system (boiler, pump, radiators) from corrosion caused by dissolved oxygen.

Technical parameters

• Size: 17 x 2 mm
• Pack: 240 m (the minimum order corresponds to a full pack, further quantities are supplied in multiples of it)
• Pressure class: PN 6 at +90°C, PN 10 at +60°C (a higher operating temperature reduces the maximum permissible pressure)
• Material: cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) with oxygen barrier
• Use: underfloor heating pipework
• Recommended fittings: IVAR.TP or RP compression fittings, or IVAR.AC press fittings

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why doesn't this pipe have an aluminium layer like PEX-AL-PEX? This is a simpler and generally more affordable design intended directly for underfloor heating pipework, where the pipe is laid into a system panel that holds its shape - so an aluminium layer to retain shape, needed for example with freely routed pipe, is not required.
• How do I choose the right pack size (240 m)? The 240 m pack is a middle option between the smaller 120 m pack and the large 600 m coil - suitable for typical pipework in a medium-sized family house. You can estimate the exact metreage needed from the number and length of the individual circuits in your underfloor heating project.
• What fittings are used to connect 17 x 2 mm pipe to the manifold? IVAR.TP or RP compression fittings (a screw joint that needs no pressing tool) or IVAR.AC press fittings (requires pressing tongs) are used - both systems must match the 17 x 2 mm size.
• Must installation be carried out by a professional? Laying the pipe into the system panel can be done by a competent DIY user, but we recommend having the connection to the manifold and the pressure test before the screed is poured checked by a professional.
