AL/PE-RT Pipe
The PE-RT/AL/PE-RT pipe is a 5 layer composite pipe, incorporating layers of PE-RT and adhesives, encasing an aluminium core.
Key benefits
Oxygen barrier
The aluminium core prevents oxygen entering the system via the pipework.
Easy to lay
AL/PE-RT can hold and maintain its shape, when formed by hand.
Corrosion free
The coatings stop oxygen from entering via the pipework minimising the risk of corrosion to the system.
Aluminium Core
The aluminium core acts as the oxygen barrier, preventing corrosion within the heating system from oxygen that would otherwise enter via the pipework. The aluminium core also allows the pipe to be positioned and shaped by hand, to maintain this shape.
This means that the pipe requires less overall securing to the subfloor or insulation and is less prone to sagging where it is unsecured.
