For surface heating and cooling installations, KAN provides a wide range of pipes, both as far as diameters and types are concerned. This makes it possible to select a technically and economically optimal solution, at the same time meeting all customer requirements.
To make surface heating and cooling instillations (underfloor, wall, ceiling), two main KAN‑therm pipes are recommended - polyethylene pipes with EVOH layer and pipes with AL layer.
KAN‑therm bluePERT are high-grade pipes with EVOH layer designed for making surface heating and cooling installations (application class 4 according to ISO 10508).
The pipes are made in the five-layer (5L) technology, where all layers are permanently combined in the production process.
Thanks to the use of PE-RT polyethylene (type I) with high thermal resistance and the high flexibility of the product, KAN‑therm bluePERT pipes are comfortable to install even at low temperatures.
The EVOH anti-diffusion layer guarantees tightness against oxygen ingress into the system, protecting its components against corrosion.
The EVOH anti-diffusion layer (ethyl vinyl alcohol) meets the requirements of DIN 4726.
The pipes are made in line with PN‑EN ISO 21003.
KAN‑therm bluePERT pipes are available in the diameter range of 12-25mm.
They are offered in standard coils of 200 or 300m.
KAN‑therm bluePERT pipes in long coils of 600mb are an additional offer. This coil length significantly increases the convenience of installing heating loops and prevents creating short pipe sections that are difficult to use.
Universal PEXC, PERT or polybutylene pipes (type II) with EVOH layer, available in the offer of system KAN‑therm, can also be used to make surface heating and cooling installations. PEXC and PERT pipes are also made in the five-layer construction (5L) and available in the diameter range of 12 to 25mm.
Polybutylene pipes (PB) are available in the diameter of 8mm.
The five-layer (5L) construction of the bluePERT, PEXC and PERT pipes secures the EVOH anti-diffusion layer against damage during the assembly works.
PEXC pipes - are made of polyethylene which undergoes a strengthening process (cross-linking) at the final stage of the pipe production. The process utilises the safest cross-linking method in terms of hygiene (no chemical additives in the production process) and the most effective one – type "c". It consists in "bombarding" the previously manufactured pipe by a beam of electrons, which results in a change in the molecular structure of polyethylene and as a result increases the service life of the finished product.
PERTAL pipes are another type of pipes that can be used to lay an installation supplying KAN‑therm Wall heating and cooling panels. These are universal polyethylene pipes, made in a multilayer construction with the use of an aluminium layer (application class 1-5 according to ISO 10508).
The butt-welded aluminium layer, using laser technology, acts as an anti-diffusion coating and guarantees the tightness against oxygen ingress into the system, protecting its components against corrosion.
The pipes are made in line with PN‑EN ISO 21003.
PERTAL pipes are available in the diameter range of 16-20mm. They are offered in standard coils of 200 or 100rm. The most popular diameters are also available in 600rm coils.
Assembly of heating loops made of KAN-therm pipes supplied in coils is much easier with the use of a special pipe decoiler.
Specially prepared cartons make it possible to install the system without taking the pipe out of the packaging.
The possibility of adjusting the decoiler makes it possible to work also with long pipe coils, so that work is faster and more comfortable.
