Pre-Insulated Pipes
Qual-PEX Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’ ECO is the next generation plumbing & heating pipe developed for hot/cold water service conditions. It is insulated with a high quality CFC-free and HCFC-free, blue flexible closed cell polyethylene pipe insulation. It has been designed to save time, money and energy costs and will improve the energy rating (BER) of any building.
Now available in Irish sizes of 1⁄2″, 3⁄4″ & 1″ & Multilayer sizes of 16mm, 20mm, 26mm & 32mm in blue or red flexible closed cell polyethylene pipe insulation.
THE INSULATION
The insulation is a high quality insulation with a low thermal conductivity. It is highly efficient in energy conservation and frost protection. It is non fibrous and creates no dust during installation or use.
It has a durable PE- film covering allowing maximum protection against water penetration and maximum bonding with concrete. It is also designed to give mechanical protection for in-wall cavity pipelines, which includes resistance to building materials and has a pleasing coating for exposed areas.
