Pipe PEX-b Giacomini R996T-5 17x2 mm: resistance and flexibility for radiant systems
The Giacomini R996T-5 pipe (code R996TY533) is designed for industrial and residential applications such as radiant floor heating and cooling. Made of 5-layer PEX-b, it offers an intermediate oxygen barrier in EVOH, ensuring that the oxygen penetrating the pipe remains negligible, thus preserving the system's efficiency. This pipe is ideal for systems where protection against corrosion and damage is crucial, such as in radiant panel heating systems.
High-quality materials for long-lasting performance
Made of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX-b) with a cross-linking degree greater than 65%, the pipe offers high flexibility that facilitates installation and reduces stress during laying operations. The oxygen barrier in EVOH is designed to protect system materials from damage due to oxygen permeability, a feature that helps prevent system damage due to chemical reactivity.
Applications and technical requirements
The Giacomini R996T-5 pipe is specifically designed for floor heating and cooling enterprises. It is ideal for application classes 4 and 5, where high performance is required under pressure and temperature conditions. The maximum operating temperature for class 4 systems is 70°C, while for class 5 it can reach 90°C, allowing a wide range of use in residential and industrial environments.
Installation and maintenance rules
During pipe installation, it is important to respect the minimum bending radius (5 times the outer diameter of the pipe) to ensure the integrity of the piping. Additionally, it is necessary to avoid exposing the pipe to direct sunlight for long periods and to protect it during transport to avoid physical damage. The pipe must be stored in dry and covered environments to protect it from harmful environmental conditions, such as moisture and excessive heat.
