Multilayer pipe 32x3.0mm PEX/AL/PE PN10 Tigris /5m/ 3018294

Multilayer PEX/AL/PE pipes – reliability and versatility in installations

Wavin Tigris 32x3.0mm multilayer pipe is an advanced solution for water and heating installations. The construction consisting of five layers – inner and outer cross-linked polyethylene (PE-Xc), an aluminum reinforcing layer and an adhesive layer ensuring a durable connection – combines the advantages of plastics and metal. This makes the pipe flexible, resistant to high pressure and temperatures, and also provides an effective anti-diffusion barrier, protecting the installation from oxygen penetration.

Tigris pipes are ideal for both residential and commercial applications. They are suitable for hot and cold water installations, central heating and underfloor heating. Their versatility will be appreciated by both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable and durable solution.

Construction and properties for demanding applications

The multilayer construction of Wavin Tigris pipes provides exceptional properties:

• Flexibility: Allows easy routing of pipes in complex installation systems, reducing the need for additional fittings.
• Strength: The aluminum layer reinforces the structure, providing resistance to high working pressure up to 10 bar at a maximum medium temperature of 70°C and short-term up to 95°C.
• Anti-diffusion barrier: The aluminum layer prevents oxygen from penetrating the installation, protecting it from corrosion and extending its lifespan.
• Low thermal expansion: Minimizes dimensional changes in the pipe due to temperature, making installation easier and ensuring installation stability.
• Resistance to corrosion and deposits: The smooth inner surface prevents scale build-up and bacterial growth, ensuring water purity and heating system efficiency.
• Safety: The pipe is safe for drinking water (has DIN-CERTCO certification and DVGW quality marks) and does not contain halogens.

Application and compatibility

Wavin Tigris pipes are compatible with Wavin Tigris K1 and M1 fittings (plastic and metal), allowing for the creation of tight and durable connections. Thanks to a wide range of diameters from fi 14 to 63mm, they can be adapted to various installation needs. These pipes are also suitable for use in underfloor heating systems due to their low wall roughness (0.002 mm) which translates to minimal fluid pressure loss. In addition, their low coefficient of thermal expansion (0.025 mm/(m.K)) facilitates the installation of such systems.
