Valsir Pexal® system is a multilayer piping solution engineered for potable water, heating, and cooling applications across residential, commercial, public, industrial and laboratory environments. It incorporates a durable five-layer structure consisting of cross-linked polyethylene (PE-Xb) inner and outer layers, bonded to a central aluminium alloy core, connected by a high-performance glue, offering excellent mechanical and thermal behaviour.

Pipe construction:

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

Performance characteristics:

High resistance to pressure, corrosion, and temperature variations.
Low thermal expansion and minimal pressure loss.
Durable, flexible structure for easy handling and installation.
Oxygen barrier core extends the lifespan of heating systems.
