In the design of heating and water supply systems, pipes play the role of the «arteries» of a building. Not only the comfort of the residents, but also the safety of the entire building depends on their quality. When choosing a pipeline, not only the materials themselves but also the technology of their combination play a key role.
Metal-plastic pipe FADO - is a high-tech product designed for facilities where stability, durability and minimization of operational risks are a priority.
Anatomy of reliability: Three-layer construction
The FADO pipe is unique in its multilayer structure, where each component performs its own critical function:
-
Inner layer (PEX-B): It provides perfect hygiene for drinking water, resistance to high temperatures and prevents the formation of deposits on the walls.
-
Middle layer (Aluminum 0.2 mm): It acts as an oxygen barrier and provides «shape memory». Thanks to it, the pipe maintains a given bend and has minimal thermal expansion.
-
Outer layer (PEX-C): It protects the system from mechanical damage and aggressive external environment.
What benefits does the user get?
Thanks to the combination of plastic and metal, the FADO pipe does not have the disadvantages of conventional polymer or metal pipes:
-
Stability of the mold: Unlike pure polypropylene, metal-plastic does not «sag» when heated, which allows you to install aesthetic open areas.
-
Low linear expansion: The system remains stable even in the face of sudden changes in coolant temperature.
-
Mechanical strength: The aluminum layer reinforces the structure, making it suitable for concealed installation in floor screeds or strobes.
-
Tightness for decades: The connection technology guarantees no leaks during the entire service life, provided that the installation rules are followed.
