THE PLASTIC-COVERED COPPER TUBE
WICU®, the plastic-coated copper tube, is used for all applications in domestic installations, especially where good external protection is required - e.g. when laid under plaster, in rooms with aggressive atmospheres and as an outdoor or underground line.
It can be used for drinking water, heating, gas, liquid gas and rainwater. The sheathing also forms a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in underground tubes and condensation from pipes exposed to cold.
Characteristics
Certified for outdoor corrosion protection according to DIN EN 13501 Class E
Multi-purpose
The copper tube is protected against aggressive materials, accidental damage and abrasion
Reduced installation time
Condensation is reduced on exposed pipework
The surface temperature of the tube is reduced, reducing the risk of burns and overheating
The plastic covering withstands service water temperatures of up to 95°C
The covering remains flexible down to -60°C
The noise level in exposed pipework is reduced
The need to paint exposed pipework is reduced
Suitable above or below ground as outdoor piping (e.g. for LP)
Suitable for installation in areas with an aggressive atmosphere.
CAN BE USED
hot and cold water systems
Underground pipework, including contaminated ground
Pipework installed in concrete
Humid environments
