Description

Valsir Mixal® system is a multilayer piping solution designed for use in potable water, heating and cooling systems. It features a five-layer pipe construction with an internal PE-Xb layer, a thick aluminium alloy core, and an outer PE-HD layer, connected by a high-performance glue, ensuring flexibility, durability, and resistance to high temperatures and pressures.

This system is suitable for surface-mounted, embedded, and pre-insulated installations in residential, commercial, public buildings, laboratories and industrial installations.

Pipe construction:

  • Inner layer: Cross-linked polyethylene (PE-Xb).
  • Middle layer: Aluminium alloy (oxygen barrier).
  • Outer layer: High-density polyethylene (PE-HD).

Performance characteristics:

  • Excellent resistance to pressure and thermal expansion.
  • High mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
  • Low internal roughness for reduced pressure losses.
  • Oxygen impermeable aluminium layer for system longevity.

Fittings compatibility:

Valsir Mixal is compatible with WRAS-approved press-fitting ranges:

  1. Pexal® Brass Fittings (12–32 mm):
    • Brass body with stainless steel sleeve.
    • Multi-profile compatibility: H, TH, U, C, VAL.
    • Leak-detection-press function for safety.
    • Tamper-proof design.
  2. Bravopress® PPSU Fittings (16–32 mm):
    • Made from high-performance PPSU technopolymer.
    • Excellent resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
    • Leak detection function and tamper-proof construction.
    • Multi-crimping compatibility.

Installation features:

  • Compatible with standard pressing tools.
  • Fast installation thanks to the bendable pipes and pre-insulated pipe coils.
  • Supports water testing prior to full commissioning.
  • Leak detection capabilities enhance quality control.

Pre-insulated pipe options:

  • Available in red, blue, and grey outer jackets.
  • Fire-rated insulation (B-s1, d0 according to EN 13501-1).
  • Insulation thicknesses: 6 mm to 25 mm.
  • Thermal conductivity: 0.037 W/m·K.

Transition fittings:

To ensure maximum versatility and compatibility with existing systems, the Valsir Mixal range includes a comprehensive suite of transition fittings for a seamless connection to metal or mechanical installations:

  • Copper press fittings (M profile): secure press-fit connection with copper systems.
  • Copper compression fittings: traditional mechanical compression joints.
  • Copper valve adapters: transition fittings for direct connection to copper-bodied valves.
  • Welded copper tails: available straight or angled, also with chrome finish for radiator or visible connections.
  • Threaded fittings:
    • Male and female threaded adapters.
    • Swivel female connections for easy coupling to existing components.
