Introduction
The Pexatherm
Pipe-in-Rail system can be used on any floor and with any type
of insulation. It is used in commercial and industrial projects. No mesh
is required for either the pipe in rail or pipe in staple systems.
The PEX pipe is laid in a 'zigzag' pattern in the Pexatherm Pipe-in-Rail system. The pipe is clipped in the rail which is notched at 50 mm intervals. Rails for PEX16, 17, and 20 mm are available.
The PIR system is solid ground floor, joisted floor with 'pug' in between, floated floors and sometime in suspended timber floor.
Installation
The Pexatherm
Pipe-in-Rail system is often used on solid ground floor on ordinary
floor grade insulation. The lightweight rail is much easier to put down
than a wire mesh and the PEX pipe is quickly and easily clipped unto the
rail
Example

As an example
of the Pexatherm pipe-in-rail package is often used in commercial buildings
as well as in domestic dwellings.
System
Components
The components
of the Pexatherm pipe-in-rail package. All components are the same as
the pipe in staple system except that the pipe fixing is by plastic rail
to the bare floor insulation (polystyrene or polyurethane grade) covered
with PE sheet. The floor insulation is not included in the package and
can be supplied separately.
IPPEC supplies a full range of pipe fixings. The plastic rail is available for 16 and 20 mm od pipes and for standard PEX and multilayer pipes. The anchor clip shown on the right is available with the rails for holding down the pipe when looped. We also provide staples as an alternative to the anker clip. See Pexatherm Pipe in Staple system.
