PEX Penta PEX -C pipe 16x2, temperature 90 degrees C, pressure 6 bar /600m/ FBAXC5C162060000

PEX pipe for underfloor heating and water installations

Penta PEX-C PEX pipe is an advanced solution for underfloor heating installations and water systems. It is characterized by exceptional durability and reliability, thanks to its innovative, five-layer structure with a centrally located anti-diffusion barrier. It is the first pipe on the market with full protection against oxygen penetration, which guarantees the longevity of the entire system.

Construction and properties

The uniqueness of the PexPenta pipe results from the use of electron beam crosslinking technology, which strengthens the material, providing both strength and flexibility. This process is safe for health, as it does not use harmful chemicals. The pipe maintains strength parameters comparable to PE-Xa, while being more resistant to mechanical damage. The flexibility of the material allows for easy installation and adaptation to complex installation layouts – after heating, the pipe regains its original shape.

The PexPenta pipe is designed to operate at temperatures up to 90°C and pressures up to 6 bar. It is resistant to low temperatures, making it an ideal choice for outdoor installations or those exposed to freezing. Thanks to its high thermal conductivity (λ=0.40 W/(mK)), it provides efficient heat distribution in underfloor heating systems. Low internal roughness (k=0.0015 mm) minimizes water flow resistance, which translates into energy savings and quieter operation of the installation.

Application and benefits

PexPenta pipe is an excellent choice for both professional installers and end customers looking for a reliable and durable solution. Its 5-layer structure with a central anti-diffusion barrier effectively prevents oxygen from penetrating the heating system, protecting metal components from corrosion and extending the life of the entire installation – estimated at at least 50 years. In addition, the pipe undergoes rigorous quality tests during production, including laser testing of gas permeability millimeter by millimeter, which confirms its highest quality and safety of use. The minimum bending radius of the pipe is 5 times its outer diameter, which facilitates installation in tight spaces.
