• Integrated oxygen barrier helps reduce corrosion within heating systems
• Suitable for central heating and wet underfloor heating applications
• Compatible with push-fit plumbing systems
• WRAS approved for trusted performance and compliance
• Lightweight and easy to handle on-site
• Helps maintain efficient system operation over time
• Suitable for concealed pipework installations within floors and walls
• Designed for reliable hot and cold water applications

Suitable Applications and Compatibility

This plumbing and heating barrier pipe is suitable for a wide range of domestic and light commercial applications, including:

• Wet underfloor heating systems
• Microbore central heating systems
• Hot and cold water services
• Renovation and new-build installations
• Floor, wall, and ceiling pipe routing
• Push-fit plumbing systems and compatible fittings

The flexible design allows installers to create smoother pipe runs with fewer joints, helping to reduce installation time while improving system reliability.

Role In Underfloor Heating

Barrier pipe plays a vital role in maintaining the efficiency and lifespan of wet underfloor heating systems. The integrated oxygen barrier helps prevent oxygen ingress into the heating circuit, reducing the risk of sludge build-up, corrosion, and premature wear of components such as pumps, manifolds, and valves.

The flexibility of polybutylene pipe also makes it ideal for underfloor heating layouts, allowing for quicker installation with minimal stress on fittings and connections. This helps deliver consistent heat distribution and dependable long-term performance.

Guidance

Always ensure the pipe is installed in accordance with current plumbing regulations and manufacturer guidance. Use compatible push-fit or compression fittings designed for polybutylene barrier pipe systems. Pressure testing is recommended before final floor finishes or coverings are applied.

For wet underfloor heating installations, ensure suitable insulation and pipe spacing are used to maximise heat output and system efficiency.
