Product Information
Full details
The Plumbright 22mm x 3m Barrier Pipe is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic plumbing and heating systems. It provides a durable, reliable solution for hot and cold water distribution as well as underfloor heating, backed by a 50-year operational warranty for long-term peace of mind. While the pipe offers excellent flexibility and safety compliance, it is important to note that the 3-meter length is a rigid straight section, which requires specific transportation considerations compared to coiled pipe variants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the pipe ends are cut squarely using a proper plastic pipe cutter to avoid burrs that could damage O-ring seals in push-fit fittings. When using compression fittings, ensure that an appropriate pipe insert is used to maintain the circular integrity of the pipe under compression. Avoid exposing the pipe to direct, prolonged sunlight during storage to prevent UV degradation. If the pipe requires cleaning, use only mild soapy water; avoid harsh chemical solvents that could react with the pipe's exterior barrier layer. Always check that the pipe is adequately supported with pipe clips every 500mm to 800mm to ensure a professional and long-lasting installation.
