Pre-insulated pipes for hot water – reliability and efficiency

Uponor Ecoflex Aqua VIP Single pre-insulated pipe is an optimal solution for underground domestic hot water installations. It is characterized by high flexibility, which facilitates installation even in difficult conditions, while ensuring hygienic and safe water transport. The pipe's construction with an insulating layer minimizes heat loss, resulting in energy savings and reduced operating costs.

Construction and application

The pipe consists of several key elements: an inner pipe made of PE-Xa, effective PE-X foam insulation, and an outer jacket made of corrugated HDPE. This construction guarantees not only durability and resistance to mechanical damage but also thermal self-compensation – the pipe adapts to changes in ambient temperature, minimizing the risk of cracking. It is ideal for distributing hot water in underground networks, where the design temperature of the supply water is 70°C (according to PN-EN 15875), and the short-term temperature can reach up to 95°C. The corrugated outer jacket facilitates the location of any damage.

Advantages for installers and users

• Quick and easy installation: The pipe's flexibility allows it to be adapted to existing infrastructure without the need for complex tools and techniques.
• Energy saving: Effective thermal insulation with PE-X foam reduces heat loss, resulting in lower heating bills.
• Hygiene and safety: The materials used to produce the pipe are safe for health and do not affect the quality of the water.
• Durability and reliability: The plastics used are characterized by high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage, ensuring long-term operation.
• Thermal self-compensation: The pipe reacts to changes in ambient temperature, reducing the risk of cracks caused by thermal expansion.
• Resistance to loads: The pipe meets the requirements of SLW 60, which guarantees its resistance to external loads.
• Compatibility with the Uponor system: A full range of fittings and accessories provides a comprehensive solution for every installation.

Ecoflex Aqua VIP Single 75x10.3/140 pipe with a diameter of 75 mm, wall thickness of 10.3 mm and an outer jacket diameter of 140 mm is supplied with sleeves facilitating connections. The minimum bending radius is 700 mm, which should be taken into account when designing the installation. The thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.004 W/(m·K), which indicates the high insulating efficiency of the pipe. The circumferential stiffness class SN4 ensures adequate mechanical strength. The normalized dimension ratio (SDR) is 7.4.
