New pipe dimension 15 x 1,6 mm especially designed for panel heating and cooling

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

WRW developed the pipe dimension 15 x 1.6 mm particularly for the use as heating or cooling pipe in panels, the wall or as ceiling cooling. The particularly favourable installation characteristics are the result of the thickness of the aluminium layer optimally adjusted to the plastic material. It offers a high dimensional stability and at the same time a maximum of flexibility. This features make this pipe especially easy to install.
In the production, the dimension is available as a multi-layer pipe with inner and outer layers made of PE-RT or PEX-b. Both variants have been tested by the SKZ and are certified under the test mark number A 397 and A 406. More: www.wrw-ahlen.com
