Polypipe 15mm Polybutylene Barrier Pipe is a versatile and high-quality plumbing solution designed to meet the demands of a wide range of applications. This flexible barier pipe boasts superior strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for various plumbing and heating needs.
Key Features
-
Strength and Durability: Polypipe Barrier Pipe is known for its robust construction, capable of handling high working pressures without compromising integrity.
-
Versatile Routing: This barrier pipe can be bent to a radius of 12 times the diameter when unsupported or 8 times the diameter when supported, allowing for versatile and efficient routing. This is a remarkable feature, which makes installation all the more easy and stress free.
-
Rigorous Testing: Connections and fittings are rigorously tested to BS 7291: Class S standards to ensure thermal cycling resilience, long-term pressure resistance, rapid pressure testing, and reliable pull-out strength.
-
Temperature Resilience: Polypipe is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures, including pressurised thermal cycling and exposure to high temperatures of 114 degrees centigrade at 3.5 bar pressure for 1,000 cycles
-
WRAS Approval: Approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and compliant with WRC standards, ensuring water quality and safety.
-
Acoustic Performance: Minimises noise transmission and water hammer effects compared to rigid pipe systems.
-
UV Protection: Essential for outdoor use, Polypipe should be shielded from direct sunlight using standard decorating paints or pipe insulation.
-
Minimal Bonding Requirements: As Polypipe does not conduct electricity, fewer equipotential bonding requirements are typically needed compared to metal systems.
Application
- Suitable for all plumbing and heating applications as a flexible alternative to copper tube.
- Can be used in both hard and soft water areas.
- Excellent for domestic water and heating installations.
- Recommended for underfloor heating applications to minimize the risk of oxygen ingress.
- Not suitable for transporting gases.
- Ideal for minimising scale build-up in water systems.
Handling and Storage
- When handling and cutting the pipe, use approved pipe cutters (such as PB777 or PB778) for precise and clean cuts.
- Ensure the use of pipe stiffeners when connecting Polypipe with Polyplumb or compression fittings to achieve secure and reliable joints.
- Protect Polypipe from direct sunlight with UV shielding measures, such as standard decorating paints or pipe insulation.
