Push-Fit Polybutylene Barrier Pipe 22mm X 3m Grey

Push-Fit Polybutylene Barrier Pipe 22mm X 3m Grey

The Push-Fit Polybutylene Barrier Pipe in 22mm x 3m (Grey) is a modern, high-flow, and efficient solution for main pipe runs in domestic hot and cold water plumbing and heating systems. Made from flexible Polybutylene (PB), this larger diameter pipe is lightweight and much faster to install than traditional copper, particularly over long distances. The integrated barrier layer is critical, preventing oxygen from entering the system, making it perfect for main circuits in central heating.

Key Features and Installation Advantages
Size and Length: 22mm diameter x 3-meter straight lengths, ideal for primary flow and return heating circuits or main water supplies where higher volume is required.

Material: High-quality Polybutylene (PB) offers superior flexibility, excellent acoustic performance (minimizes water noise), and total corrosion resistance.

Oxygen Barrier Layer: This crucial protective layer is embedded in the pipe wall to stop oxygen diffusion into the system water, thereby preventing corrosion of ferrous components like boilers, pumps, and radiators.

Push-Fit Compatibility: Designed for use with major manufacturers' push-fit fittings (e.g., Polyplumb), providing a secure, flame-free, and tool-less connection when used with stiffeners.

Temperature Rating: Suitable for the high temperatures and pressures found in central heating and domestic hot water systems.

The Installer's Advantage
Using 22mm plastic pipe significantly reduces labour time compared to soldering 22mm copper. Its flexibility reduces the need for joints and fittings, and the push-fit system eliminates the need for hot work permits or specialized soldering tools.
