Double pre-insulated pipe ECOFLEX Aqua Twin 40x5.5-25x3.5/175, 10 bar, temp. 70°C, for DHW installations, thermal insulation made of PE-X foam, corrugated HDPE outer jacket /200m/ 1018141

Double pre-insulated pipe – an effective solution for DHW installations.

The Uponor ECOFLEX Aqua Twin double pre-insulated pipe is a comprehensive solution for building efficient and durable domestic hot water installations, especially in underground systems. The construction with two pipes in one jacket minimizes heat loss and ensures hygienic water transport, while the solid construction guarantees long-term reliability. It is an ideal choice for both professionals and homeowners who value comfort and savings.

Construction and properties

The ECOFLEX Aqua Twin 40x5.5-25x3.5/175 pipe consists of several key elements that provide its unique properties:

• PE-Xa conductive pipes: Made of cross-linked polyethylene (PE-Xa), they are characterized by high resistance to temperature (up to 70°C continuous operation, short-term up to 80°C) and pressure (10 bar). This material is also flexible, making it easy to install and adapt to installation conditions.
• PE-X foam insulation: The insulation layer made of closed-cell PE-X foam minimizes heat loss, maintaining a high water temperature in the pipes. The thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.04 W/(m.K) ensures the energy efficiency of the system.
• Corrugated outer HDPE jacket: A durable jacket made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) protects the pipes from mechanical damage and weather conditions. The corrugated surface increases flexibility and facilitates laying in the ground, and also allows for compensation of thermal movements of the ground.
• Sleeve included: Enables tight and durable connection of pipes, ensuring the safety of the installation.

Applications and benefits

The Uponor ECOFLEX Aqua Twin pre-insulated pipe finds wide application in:

• Domestic hot water installations: Ideal for distributing hot water in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
• Underground networks: It works perfectly in installations laid in the ground, providing protection against corrosion and mechanical damage.
• Underfloor heating systems: It can be used to distribute the heating medium in underfloor heating systems (although other series are dedicated to this).

Benefits for the installer:

• Quick installation: The flexibility of the pipes makes them easy to lay and adapt to existing infrastructure.
• Easy connection: Sleeves provide tight and durable connections without the need for complex tools.
• Light weight: Facilitates transport and handling on the construction site.

Benefits for the end user:

• Energy saving: Effective thermal insulation minimizes heat loss, reducing water heating costs.
• Hygienic water transport: The materials used to produce the pipes are safe for health and do not affect the taste and quality of drinking water.
• Durability and reliability: The solid construction guarantees long-term operation without the need for frequent repairs or replacements. The minimum bending radius is 900 mm, which ensures comfortable work during installation.
