As we all know, pipeline is an important part of the floor heating system, related to the normal operation and heating effect of floor heating.So we need to consider carefully when choosing pipes. Here are several common pipelines in floor heating:
Pex pipe
PEX tube is one of the two largest pipes in floor heating due to convenient transportation and installation and high compressive strength. According to different processes, they can be divided into PEXa, PEXb and PEXc, among which PEXa has the most output, PEXc has the highest production difficulty and cost, and of course, the strongest stability.
Feature of using
(1) PEX tube is generally connected mechanically.
(2) Convenient installation, disassembly, easy maintenance.
PERT pipe
PERT pipe is the most cost-effective floor heating pipe.
Features of use:
1)Hot melting connection, easier to install and maintenance than PEX tube and aluminum plastic tube.
2)Poor in scratch resistance performance,pay attention during construction.
PERT&PEX Oxygen Barrier Pipe
The PE-RT and PEX oxygen tubes are used to retards oxygen penetration into the pipe.
PP-R Pipe
Pp-r is the most used water supply pipeline in home decoration at present, which is mostly used for floor heating supervisor in the floor heating system.
Aluminum Plastic Tube
Feature of use:
Mechanical connections are made by clamping sleeve pipe fittings .

Each floor heating pipe on the market has its own advantage, which can meet the needs of floor heating. The service life of pipes in line with national standards in floor heating should be more than 50 years. Better choose oxygen resistance tube.
