Pipe PEX, PE-RT

This category includes PEX and PE-RT pipes designed for radiant heating and cooling systems. The products are suitable for wall, ceiling, and panel installations and are available in various configurations, including insulated and non-insulated versions. They are used in IVARCLIMA systems for efficient thermal distribution and are compatible with both heating and cooling applications.

The pipes are manufactured with cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or PE-RT materials, with oxygen barriers to prevent system corrosion. Insulated variants feature low-density polyethylene (PE-LD) with a closed-cell structure and protective film, available in red and blue for system identification. Connection methods include clamping screws and standard threading, depending on the application and system design.

How to choose

• Confirm the required pressure rating (PN 6, PN 10) and operating temperature (up to +95 °C) based on the system type and location.
• Select the correct pipe size and wall thickness (e.g., 12 x 2 mm) to match the flow rate and pressure drop requirements of the installation.
• Choose between insulated and non-insulated variants depending on whether the pipes are embedded in concrete, plaster, or exposed to thermal losses.

Frequently asked questions

Can PEX and PE-RT pipes be used in both heating and cooling systems?
Yes, the materials are suitable for both heating and cooling applications, provided the temperature and pressure limits specified in the product data are observed.

What is the difference between PEX and PE-RT materials?
PEX is cross-linked polyethylene, suitable for higher temperatures and more rigid systems, while PE-RT is a thermoplastic material that offers greater flexibility and is ideal for lower-temperature applications.
