Insulation Specification

RIIFO pre-insulated pipes provide an innovative, energy-efficient solution for underfloor heating, cooling, and water distribution. These systems deliver secure, long-lasting performance by combining excellent heat-loss reduction with high flexibility and easy installation. They offer highly effective pipeline insulation at a low initial cost, suitable for both individual buildings and larger local distribution networks.

  • Fire Classification: EN 13501-1: BL-s1,d0
  • Short-term Water Absorption: EN 13472:2012: WS 05
  • Close Cell Ratio: >95%
  • Thickness: 20mm
  • Density: 33±3 kgs /cbm
  • Thermal Conductivity: ≤ 0.038W/(mK)
  • Compressive Strength: 43.1 KPa
  • Expansion Rate of Foam: 41.9
  • Elongation at Break: ≥ 300%
  • A highly cost-effective choice for domestic and commercial hot and cold water distribution.
  • The high-performing pre-insulation material is lightweight and flexible.
  • Low thermal conductivity ensures excellent thermal insulation performance, making it environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
  • The independent insulation layer delivers additional sound and vibration resistance.

Description

Combining a PEX/AL/PEX multilayer pipe core with a 20mm foam insulation jacket, this coil is built for projects where a thicker layer of insulation is preferred, whether for longer pipe runs, larger diameter systems, or installations where minimising heat loss matters more than saving space. The foam sits independently around the pipe, adding a degree of sound and vibration damping alongside its thermal performance.

With a thermal conductivity of 0.038 W/(mK) and a Class B fire rating, the insulation is suited to underfloor heating, cooling, and water distribution schemes across both domestic properties and larger networks. Its closed cell structure keeps water absorption low, which matters for long-term durability wherever the pipe run isn't fully protected from moisture. Beneath the insulation, the multilayer pipe itself brings the flexibility to navigate bends without extra fittings, while holding its shape once installed.

Coils are colour coded, red for hot water and blue for cold, so installers can identify pipe runs at a glance during first fix. The pipe is rated to -40°C through +95°C and up to 10 bar, built to ISO 21003, and shares the same expected service life as the rest of the RIIFO system, giving a consistent standard of performance whichever insulation thickness is specified.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Pre-insulated for convenience: The foam layer is factory applied, removing the need for separate lagging on site.
  • Class B fire-rated: Offers a defined level of fire performance for the insulation layer.
  • Low water absorption: The closed cell structure resists moisture ingress, supporting long-term performance.
  • Energy efficient: Low thermal conductivity minimises heat loss across the pipe run.
  • Colour-coded coils: Red and blue jackets make it easy to distinguish hot and cold lines during installation.
  • Sound and vibration resistant: The independent insulation layer adds a degree of acoustic dampening not present on bare pipe.

Installation Instructions

  1. Cutting: Cut the multilayer pipe perpendicular to its length, taking care not to damage the pipe when removing any packaging beforehand. A clean, square cut is essential, as an improperly cut end can cause the finished joint to leak. For pipe diameters of 32mm and above, a wheel pipe cutter should be used.

  2. Round & Bevel: Using a bevelling tool that matches the pipe diameter, push the tool fully onto the pipe until the blades engage, then rotate it clockwise several times. The calibrating mandrel restores the pipe to a true circle while the blades cut an even bevel, allowing the pipe to enter the fitting without catching or damaging the O-rings. If a drill-driven tool is used, keep the speed below 500 rpm.

  3. Inspection: Check the pipe visually for damage or impurities and confirm the bevel is uniform around the full circumference before proceeding. A few seconds of inspection here prevent a failed joint later.

  4. Insertion: Select a fitting matching the pipe diameter, align it with the pipe, and push the pipe in until it seats against the fitting shoulder. Correct insertion depth is confirmed when the pipe is visible through the inspection windows in the fitting sleeve.

  5. Jaw Selection: Attach a press jaw or insert of the correct profile and diameter to the pressing tool, checking both are in good working condition. Note that while F18 fittings are multi-profile, the jaws sit differently on the press sleeve: a TH jaw locates with its wide groove over the plastic fixing ring, while a U jaw fits directly onto the metal sleeve using the edge of the fixing ring as its stop.

  6. Pressing: Make sure the pipe and fitting are completely free of stress, then close the jaw and complete the press. With a battery or electric tool, the cycle is complete when the jaw is fully closed, and most machines signal this. With the manual pressing tool, close the handles in one smooth, continuous motion until the touch points on the handles meet, without releasing until the jaw has fully closed. Each connection must only ever be pressed once. Open the jaw, remove the tool, and the joint is complete.
