Pipe IVAR Turatec 20 x 2

Product detailed description

IVAR Alpex Turatec, multilayer pipe PEX-AL-PE-RT, size 20 x 2 mm, package 100 m.

This pipe is manufactured by the German manufacturer Fränkische and, just like with PEX-AL-PEX, has a layer of aluminium in the middle of its wall, which gives the pipe dimensional stability and reduces its linear expansion under temperature changes. The outer layer is made of PE-RT (polyethylene with increased temperature resistance) instead of the usual PEX, which is a typical feature of this particular product line.

Frequently asked questions

• How does this line (Alpex Turatec) differ from a standard PEX-AL-PEX pipe? The main difference is in the outer/inner layer - instead of the classic PEX, PE-RT material is used here, which is more resistant to higher temperatures (also confirmed by the higher declared short-term load of up to +95 °C at PN 10). The aluminium layer in the middle serves the same function as in a standard PEX-AL-PEX pipe - dimensional stability and low expansion.
• Can I use this 20 x 2 mm pipe for drinking water distribution as well? Yes, this particular pipe has a hygiene certificate for contact with drinking water, so it is suitable for sanitary piping as well, not just heating.
• What fittings are used to connect the pipe? Compression fittings of the TA, RA series, or press fittings of the corresponding 20 x 2 mm size are used - please verify the compatibility of the specific fitting before purchase.
• Must the installation be carried out by a professional? Laying the pipe can be handled by a skilled DIY person if the instructions are followed; however, we recommend having the connection to the heat source/drinking water supply and the pressure test verified by a professional.
