π PEX & PE-RT Pipes – High-Performance Tubing for Radiant Heating
π‘οΈ The Flexible Core of Your Home’s Comfort
Choosing the right pipe is the most critical decision in any underfloor heating (UFH) or plumbing project. The PEX & PE-RT Pipes category at Termix.ro features advanced polymer tubing designed for maximum flexibility, thermal resistance, and easy installation. Whether you are laying kilometers of floor loops or connecting a single bathroom, our pipes provide a leak-proof foundation for your system. π
Engineered to withstand high pressures and fluctuating temperatures, these pipes offer a modern, corrosion-free alternative to traditional copper or steel.
β¨ Explore Our Advanced Piping Solutions:
-
π‘οΈ PEX-a & PEX-b with EVOH Barrier: High-density cross-linked polyethylene featuring a specialized EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) outer layer. This barrier prevents oxygen from entering the heating water, protecting your boiler and pumps from internal rust.
-
π PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance): A highly flexible, cost-effective alternative to PEX, specifically designed for low-temperature underfloor heating systems. Its "soft" nature makes it exceptionally easy to bend into tight loop patterns.
-
ποΈ 5-Layer Technology (5L): Our premium pipes feature the oxygen barrier embedded inside the pipe wall (protected by two layers of PE), ensuring the barrier isn't scratched or damaged during rough on-site handling.
-
π§ Potable Water Certified: Specific PEX variants that are fully certified for drinking water applications, ensuring zero taste or odor transfer and total hygiene.
-
π Multiple Diameters: Available in standard sizes including 16mm, 17mm, and 20mm, with various coil lengths (100m to 600m) to minimize waste on any project size.
π Why Choose PEX or PE-RT over Metal?
-
Zero Corrosion: Polymer pipes cannot rust or pit, even in areas with "aggressive" or hard water. π‘οΈ
-
Smooth Inner Surface: Extremely low friction loss ensures higher flow rates and prevents the buildup of limescale or "biofilm." π
-
Shape Memory (PEX): PEX-a pipes have "thermal memory," meaning small kinks can often be repaired with a heat gun, restoring the pipe to its original shape. πͺ
-
Fast Installation: Long coils mean fewer joints. In underfloor heating, the entire loop is a single continuous pipe with zero connections under the floor. β‘
π‘ Expert Advice from the Termix Team:
-
Barrier is Mandatory: For heating systems, never use a pipe without an EVOH oxygen barrier. Without it, oxygen will permeate the plastic and cause rapid corrosion of the metal parts in your boiler and manifold. π«π¨
-
Bending Radius: When installing floor loops, respect the minimum bending radius (usually $5 \times$ the outer diameter). Using a "bending spring" or pipe tackers helps maintain the shape without stressing the polymer. π
-
Pressure Testing: Always perform a pressure test of 6 bar for at least 24 hours before pouring the concrete screed over your UFH pipes. This ensures total peace of mind before the installation becomes permanent. π
