Push-Fit Polybutylene Barrier Pipe 15Mm X 3M Grey

Push-Fit Polybutylene Barrier Pipe 15Mm X 3M Grey

The Push-Fit Polybutylene Barrier Pipe in 15mm x 3m (Grey) is a modern, flexible, and efficient solution for domestic hot and cold water plumbing and heating systems. Made from durable Polybutylene (PB), this pipe is lightweight and flexible, making installation significantly faster and easier than traditional copper, especially in tight or difficult-to-reach spaces. The crucial barrier layer prevents the ingress of oxygen, making it highly suitable for central heating circuits.

Key Features and Installation Advantages
Size and Length: 15mm diameter x 3-meter straight lengths, perfect for standard internal pipe runs.

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

Oxygen Barrier Layer: Essential protective layer embedded within the pipe wall to stop oxygen diffusion into the system water, preventing corrosion of ferrous components like boilers and radiators.

Colour Coding (Grey): Typically used for general plumbing or sometimes for waste/greywater systems (ensure local compliance).

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

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

The Installer's Advantage
This pipe significantly reduces installation time. Its flexibility minimises the number of joints and fittings required, while its push-fit compatibility eliminates the need for soldering or compression tools for most connections.
