PEX PIPE
BaseTM
PEX is a high performance
pipe that is both flexible and extremely
resilient. Constructed from a superior
cross linked polyethylene, our pipe
benefits from a much higher resistance
to both heat and pressure compared to
other forms of PEX pipe, resulting in
much greater strength and durability.
» 100% impermeable oxygen
diffusion barrier
» Operational temperature up to 90 ºC
» Extremely flexible pipe for ease of
installation
» Maintenance free
» Meets EN ISO 15875 standard
SYSTEM CONTROLS
Our comprehensive range of innovative
system controls offer the ultimate in both
stylish, discreet design, coupled with
intuitive, user friendly operation.
Our slimline series of thermostats offer
an extensive range of control options,
to include touch-screen, wireless, wifi,
networked and via mobile app (Apple and
Android platforms)
MANIFOLDS
Our precision engineered BaseTM
Nickel
plated manifold offers complete system
control through the utilisation of adjustable
flow gauges, mixing valve and ‘A’ rated
pump. The distribution of low temperature
warm water is precisely regulated to each
individual zone of the underfloor heating
system.
