Produced from high performance Pe-Xa, the universal pipe performs at extremes of temperature up to 95°C and pressure of up to 6 bar. The pipe life exceeds 50 years in line with BS 7291 making it one of the highest performing polymer pipes available on the market.
The REHAU EVERLOCTM fitting range is a unique fitting design that allows for a low risk leak proof, dependable fitting every time. The fittings themselves comprise of only two components – the fitting, and a compression sleeve, which forces the pipe up and over the fitting to make a permanent leak-proof joint. There is no O-ring, no preparation of the pipe required and, as the pipe is expanded to fit onto the fitting, there is even no bore reduction through the fitting, helping to reduce system pressure losses. With WRAS approval, the pipe and fitting ranges can be used for potable water as well as heating systems.
The REHAU system features:
- PE-Xa pipe with EVAL barrier to prevent oxygen diffusion to DIN 4726.
