What are five-layer pipes and fittings?

Five-layer pipes and fittings are one of the most important products used in the plumbing industry. Five-layer pipes are a new generation of composite pipes. In general, this pipe consists of a combination of five layers of metal and polymer.

The outer and inner layers of five-layer pipes are made of polyethylene, and their middle layer is made of aluminum metal. Between the outer layer and the middle layer, as well as between the inner layer and the middle layer, there is a layer of glue. They also stick. There are different types of five-layer pipes and fittings, which are very important to know.

A variety of five -layer pipes

PEX/AL/PEX pipes:

This type of five-layer pipes have enough resistance at 90 degrees Celsius and 10 bar pressure. They also have the ability to be implemented in long-term systems. While the inner and outer layers of PEX/AL/PEX pipes are made of polyethylene, the middle layer is made of aluminum. The most important advantage of this type of five-layer pipe is that it is flexible. They have very high quality and that is why they are used in the piping system. On the other hand, installing these pipes is very easy and does not require welding or soldering. PE-RT/AL/PE-RT pipes:

One of the old types of five-layer pipes is PE-RT/AL/PE-RT pipes. This type of five-layer pipes are more resistant to pressure and high temperature. Also, these pipes have a high resistance against various chemical compounds. On the other hand, one of the most important advantages of PE/AL/PE pipes is that they are recyclable and are made of environmentally friendly materials. Their production has been used.

PE/AL/PE pipes:

This type of pipe and five-layer connections have high resistance to very low temperatures. . These pipes can be used to transfer cold water with a temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius.

The benefits of a five -layer pipe and fittings

Five-layer pipes have many advantages, that simple, convenient and fast installation, cutting and connection in different systems is one of the most important advantages of these pipes. Other advantages of five-layer pipes include: - Five-layer pipes have the ability to bend and have high flexibility. Therefore, there is less need for fittings in the piping system. Five-layer pipes and fittings have a long service life and last at least 50 years. For this reason, the use of these products is economical.
- These pipes are durable and do not rust or rot when exposed to high humidity.
- Due to their low weight and high flexibility they have, it is easy to transport them.
- They have a very low coefficient of longitudinal expansion and they expand very little against very high temperatures.
- These products are resistant to chemicals such as acids and bases.
