Single pre-insulated pipe AustroPEX CW single A160-1x90, PN16, for potable cold water, chilled water and drainage installations, thermal insulation made of PUR foam, corrugated HDPE outer jacket PIP-XHZ-160S90

Pre-insulated pipe for water and chilled water installations

This single AustroPEX CW single A160-1x90 pre-insulated pipe is a comprehensive solution for potable cold water, chilled water and drainage installations. Designed for durability and efficiency, it combines flexibility, corrosion resistance and excellent insulation properties. The pipe is particularly recommended for applications where reliability and minimization of energy losses are required.

Construction and properties

The pipe consists of several key elements that provide its unique parameters. The inner layer is made of PE 100 (SDR 11) – a material resistant to corrosion and meeting the DIN 12201 standard. It is surrounded by a layer of cross-linked XPE insulation with a closed-cell microcellular structure, which minimizes water absorption (below 1% according to DIN 53428) and provides effective thermal insulation. The whole is protected by a corrugated outer jacket made of HDPE, which increases the flexibility of the pipe and facilitates its installation. The corrugated surface makes it easier to unwind and adapt to the shape of the installation.

Advantages for installers and users

• Versatility: Can be used in potable cold water, chilled water and drainage installations – one solution for many needs.
• Corrosion resistance: PE 100 material guarantees long-term protection against corrosive agents, which translates into a longer service life of the installation.
• Minimal heat loss: High-quality XPE foam insulation reduces energy losses, lowering operating costs.
• Easy installation: The flexible construction and corrugated outer jacket make it easy to lay the pipe, even in difficult conditions. The bending radius at 20°C is only 20 times the pipe diameter (dx20).
• Safety: The pipe is made of materials that are safe for health and the environment.
• Durability: The AustroPEX system is characterized by a long service life confirmed by tests conducted by the manufacturer based on real installations that have been operating for over 30 years.
• Self-compensation: The pipe design takes into account the natural compensation for temperature changes, which minimizes the risk of damage caused by thermal expansion.

Operating parameters

The AustroPEX CW single A160-1x90 pre-insulated pipe is designed to operate at a maximum working pressure of 16 bar and at temperatures from -30°C to +25°C. This makes it suitable for a variety of climatic conditions and applications. Custom solutions are also available on request, tailored to individual project needs.
