Using only the best quality equipment and pipe for infloor hydronic heating systems is absolutely essential for both the longevity and efficiency of the system. Hurlcon Hydronic Heating
supply only SBK
manifold equipment and Copex PEX
pipe from Oventrop, both are manufactured and designed in Germany, ensuring both criteria are more than covered.
Alupex Multilayer Pipe
Hurlcon Hydronic Heating's Alupex Multilayer Pipe
is manufactured from a core of high density polyethylene, a mid-layer of aluminium foil, and an outer coating of high density polyethylene. These layers are bonded together with two adhesive layers. The combination of polyethylene layers gives an extremely strong and resilient pipe with excellent flexibility when required. The aluminium layer allows the pipe to hold its shape when formed into a radius, greatly reduces thermal linear expansion, and provides an oxygen diffusion barrier, making it extremely suitable for radiator panel system installations. These same characteristics also make Alupex excellent for use in conjunction with studded polystyrene insulation panels, for in-screed hydronic underfloor heating systems.
With a range of quality fittings available from NTM for use with Alupex multilayer pipe (pictured right), all installation requirements can be covered. Ensure a quick installation with ease, peace of mind and longevity.
NTM Multilayer Pipe Fittings
N.T.M. S.P.A.
is a leading Italian manufacturer of fittings and markets its products in Italy and in more than 50 foreign countries. Relocated to Brandico (also in the province of Brescia) at the end of 2004, it now operates a 10,000 square meter facility. N.T.M. S.P.A. is a constantly growing company with a production capacity of 200,000 fittings a day. The name N.T.M. S.P.A. derives from the name of its founder, Mario Tripoli, who, along with the management team at N.T.M. S.P.A., has 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of brass fittings. N.T.M. S.P.A. profits from his extensive know-how, carrying on the best tradition in the industry and guaranteeing its customers maximum quality and next-generation product ideas coupled with state-of-the-art technologies.
Oventrop Copex Pipe
Oventrop Copex Pipe
is used for in-slab hydronic underfloor heating systems. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene Oventrop Copex is cross-linked under high temperatures to give a highly resilient yet extremely flexible pipe. It is highly resistant to chemicals and has a working temperature range of -20 deg to 90 deg C at pressures well above typical operating pressure. The smooth bore of Oventrop Copex pipes prevent sedimentation and flow loss over time. Copex has an EVOH oxygen barrier protected under the highly resilient outer PEX-Xc layer.
The light weight, strength and flexibility of Oventrop Copex pipe makes installation of hydronic underfloor heating systems fast and easy.
SBK Multizone 3000
SBK's German engineers have developed the ingenious Multizone system 3000
which allows you to control 2-3 zones from one actuator, giving greater flexibility with zoning, as well as significant cost savings.
SBK offer a 5 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
SBK Modular Manifold Systems
The German designed and manufactured SBK Modular Manifold System
is comprised of individual ‘blocks’ which can easily be assembled to the required number of heating circuits and allows for fast on-site alteration to circuit numbers as well. Blocks are coloured coded for flow (Red) and return (Blue) piping, and are available as plain blocks or with flow control valves and flow meters.
Flow control valves can be quickly removed to allow for thermal actuators in zone controlled systems, and the SBK patented flow meter allows for easy and accurate flow adjustment. Constructed from glass reinforced plastic with a multi-chamber design, the manifold blocks are corrosion resistant and have inbuilt insulating properties. This means greatly reduced heat losses for heating systems and less risk of condensation in cooling systems. The individual blocks are reversible allowing pipe circuits to be directed upwards if required, and the internal geometry results in a minimum pressure drop through the manifold system.
SBK offer a 5 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
8 Zone Power Module
The PM100 control unit from Giacomini is designed to be used in conjunction with manifold systems and is capable of controlling up to 8 ambient room thermostats driving up to 16 actuators.
Studded Insulation Panel
Hurlcon Hydronic Heating's Australian made studded polystyrene insulation panels are perfect for installing a hydronic screed heating system over your structural slab or existing floor. The 1200mm x 800mm panels interlock around each edge to make installing simple and fast while still providing a strong and seamless base to work on.
The Alupex
or Copex
pipe is inserted between the studs and held firmly in place, with staples only required to secure the tight bends. The expanded polystyrene is high-density, flame retardant and 100% recyclable, and can be cut with a handsaw or knife, and the 30mm base thickness gives excellent insulation against downward heat losses. The studs are capable of securing pipes up to 20mm diameter.
Why Choose Hydronics?
Here are the globally-recognized brands that complement Hurlcon's various hydronic heating products.
Although the installation cost of this type of centralized heating can be a bit pricey, it’s still considered as a wise investment due to its long-term advantages.
Due to rising energy costs and a conscious effort to be more eco-friendly, more and more people have started turning to sustainable systems for their daily needs. One of these is central heating, which accounts for a considerable percentage of a home’s energy consumption in Australia. Read on.
