"PEX Solutions®" tubes compliant with ASTM F876/F877 (CSA B137.5)
Non-insulated PEXa EVOH
Our cross-linked polyethylene (PEXa) tubes represent a technological breakthrough in the field of heating systems. Designed to offer exceptional resistance to high temperatures, they are the result of a sophisticated cross-linking process that enhances their mechanical properties. This innovation enables PEXa tubes to be used efficiently and reliably in heating networks, ensuring performance and longevity.
Advantages of non-insulated PEXa
- Highly flexible: easy to handle and install, even in complex or confined environments.
- Extreme temperature resistance: Able to withstand very low temperatures without breaking, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions.
- Durability: Designed for long life, resistant to corrosion and degradation caused by common chemical agents.
- Easy to repair: In the event of crushing, the pipe can be easily restored to its original shape with the appropriate tool.
- Cost-effective: Less costly to produce and install than insulated piping systems, while maintaining high performance.
These features make non-insulated Solutions PEX® a practical and cost-effective option for various heating projects, ensuring both performance and durability.

Solutions PEX® - Pre-insulated
PRE-INSULATED PIPE SYSTEM FOR HEATING APPLICATIONS
Solutions PEX® compliant with EN 15632-2 is equipped with one or two PEXa heat transfer tubes, recognized for their high corrugated density and excellent mechanical properties. This system can withstand a working pressure of 6 bar and a continuous temperature of 80°C (87 psi), making it ideal for intensive heating installations.
Advantages of Solutions PEX® - Pre-insulated
- Exceptional thermal insulation: Thanks to the use of CFC-free polyurethane foam (PUR), Solutions PEX® - Pre-insulated provides superior thermal insulation with a conductivity of 0.021 W/mK or less, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.
- Fast, easy installation: The flexibility of the pipes means they can be installed quickly and easily, even in narrow trenches or complex environments. This reduces the time and labor costs associated with installation.
- Narrow trench width: The design of Solutions PEX® - Pre-insulated allows the use of narrower trenches, reducing site disturbance and excavation costs.
- Weatherproof: Solutions PEX® - Pre-insulated is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.
- Operating pressure and temperature: Capable of withstanding an operating pressure of 6 bar and a continuous temperature of 80°C (87 psi), making it ideal for intensive heating networks.
- Durability and longevity: The quality of the materials used and the manufacturing process guarantee a long service life, reducing maintenance requirements and long-term costs.
These advantages make Solutions PEX® – Pre-insulated a highly efficient and reliable solution for heating networks, offering superior performance while facilitating installation and improving energy efficiency.
