JG Speedfit Speedpex Barrier Pipe Coil
JG Speedfit Speedpex Barrier Pipe Coils are flexible, high-performance pipes engineered for use in both vented and sealed central heating systems, as well as general hot and cold water supply. Manufactured from multi-layer PEX material, each pipe features an integrated oxygen barrier to prevent air ingress, minimising the risk of corrosion in metallic components such as boilers and radiators.
The 25-metre coil format provides excellent coverage with fewer joints, making it ideal for long pipe runs or underfloor heating systems. These pipes are also British Gas accepted, ensuring compliance with demanding heating system standards.
