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. Certifications WRAS Approved for water quality and safety. BBA Certified (Certificate Number 00/3699) for meeting industry standards. Manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 9002 for quality assurance. KIWA/KOMO Approved (Certificate Numbers K14341, K14342, K14343) for compliance with industry standards.
