The exceptional performance of cross-linked polyethylene pipes at high temperatures reaching 110?C and high pressure up to 24 bar, a lifespan of at least 50 years and their widespread use over the past 35 years, have made them the most popular pipes for heating systems all over the world.
The pipes can be used in either a single tube (manifold - radiator 1, 2 or 3 - return) or double tube system (manifold - radiator - return).
Interplast is one of the few companies in Europe with a vertically integrated production system and the only company in Greece that manufactures all the components of the system and guarantees the whole heating-plumbing installation.
The Interplast heating system consists of:
• Como-pex cross-linked polyethylene pipes in black or white color.
• Como-pex Oxygen Barrier pipes can be used for extra protection of the metal components of the installation.
• The corrugated conduits in blue, red or black color, inside which the Como-pex pipes are placed.
• The bar type manifolds, supplied as individual components (not connected), 2 to 10 outlets.
• Alternatively manifold pairs could be used. Manifolds with thermoelectric actuator valves are used in many European countries to save energy and to offer additional safety (when a certain area needs more heating than another a thermoelectric actuator is installed and connected to a thermostat via wireless communication).
• Complete line of brass fittings for the distribution panel, such as adjustable terminal "T", automatic airvents, network filling and drain valves, pipe connectors etc.
• 90° intake angle and supplementary components (supply caps, nickel-plated couplings, end cap, reducing sleeve) for installation and connection with wall-mounted radiators, offering an aesthetic appeal to the installation. By use of the intake angle we can easily proceed with the replacement of any corroded units.
System advantages
• Easy installation, saving time and money.
• Increased protection against damage. The external conduit provides timely warning of damage to the pipe.
• Easy replacement of damaged pipes. The old pipe is removed and the new one inserted by aid of the pipe extractor (The only system offering this possibility).
• Isolation of circuits in the event of damage.
• Easy to bend pipe.
• No need for many connections and tools
• Easy access connections
• Lifespan of pipe is at least 50 years.
Guarantee
Interplast offers a 30-year guarantee for the pipes and 10-year guarantee for the metal fittings of the installation, covered by the insurance company ALLIANZ against damage owing to faulty production for the amount of ? 500,000 per incident and up to ? 3,000,000 per year.
