Montreal, QC - August 14, 2023 – Oxy-PERT and Oxypex tubing options from BOW are manufactured sustainably and offer unique benefits for a range of hydronic applications.
Oxygen can cause corrosion in pipes, fittings, and other plumbing components, leading to potential damage and decreased system efficiency. Oxygen barrier plastic pipes such as Oxy-PERT and Oxypex from BOW, part of Orbia’s Building and Infrastructure business Wavin, are specifically designed to prevent the ingress of oxygen into a plumbing system, resisting tuberculation deposits that can plague metal pipes, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Oxy-PERT and Oxypex are manufactured from recyclable, eco-friendly materials. Both pipes excel at noise and water hammer resistance. For installers, Oxy-PERT and Oxypex enable swift and efficient installations with joining options that do not require flames. The pipes’ lightweight nature makes them easy to transport, simplifying logistical challenges. With low scrap value compared to metal pipes, Oxy-PERT and Oxypex pipes mitigate jobsite theft risk.
Oxypex: Potable and Hydronic Applications
Oxypex PEX B can be used for both potable water piping and hydronic closed-loop heating applications such as snow melt and radiant floor heating.
Oxy-PERT: 35-Years of Success in Europe
Oxy-PERT is a high-temperature flexible plastic pressure pipe with a 35-year history of successful use in the European market. It is an ideal choice for circulation heating applications such as radiant slab heating systems for concrete, snow-melting applications, and baseboard heating.
“Oxy-PERT and Oxypex are game-changing products for Canada,” said Sebastien Caron, Manager of Canada Sales for BOW and Wavin. “These pipes are the go-to choice for radiant plumbing professionals looking for efficiency, durability, and sustainability.”
