RAUVIPEX

The all-round performer for heat transfer

Accelerating your journey to net zero

Achieving net zero in the heating industry will require the development of renewable energy, the use of waste heat, more heat pumps and, above all, accelerated heat network expansion.

That’s why we have developed RAUVIPEX, the universal district heating pipe.

All the benefits at a glance

PE-Xa carrier pipes

Specially formulated for extreme durability – proven in practice

PUR foam

Optimum combination of insulation performance and improved bending elasticity

Longitudinal water barrier

Adds another layer to ensure maximum protection

Robust outer jacket

U-shaped crests with thick walls make the pipe extremely durable

Increased coil options

Dimensions from 2.4 m – 2.8 m in height and up to 1.6 m in width possible

Ease of transport

Use of standard HGVs for more cost-effective transport

Perfectly coordinated

The universal CLIP-FLEX shroud and RAUVIPEX make perfect partners

Reduced bending force

Optimised pipe structure provides greater flexibility and faster construction times

It does what it promises.

1 - Robust outer jacket

The unique geometry of the pipe’s outer jacket cleverly combines flexibility and safety: U-shaped wave crests with wide contact surfaces and high wall thickness make it extremely robust for deployment on construction sites. In combination with the V-shaped pipe troughs, the jacket is noticeably easier to bend during installation.

2 - Longitudinal water barrier

Welded all around, the longitudinal water barrier offers the best possible protection against moisture penetration into the pipe insulation, even if the outer jacket is partially damaged.

3 - Fine-pored PUR foam

The formulation has been newly developed and is characterised by excellent insulation properties combined with outstanding flexibility.

4 - PE-Xa carrier pipes

.Reliable transport of hot and cold water: Our extremely durable PE-Xa carrier pipes in REHAU quality – tried and tested for more than 40 years.

Our innovative CLIP-FLEX shroud shroud and universal heat-shrink shroud allow you to insulate your pipe system safely and simply, with full flexibility. All components are tested and certified.

Special Benefits

For building developers and heat network operators

Safety for the long haul.

RAUVIPEX not only offers impressive insulation properties, it has many safety features you can rely on for decades – including a robust outer jacket, a fully bonded pipe system and the trusted REHAU PE-Xa carrier pipes.

For designers

As versatile as you are.

A range of product variants, a broad spectrum of dimensions and unparalleled compatibility – RAUVIPEX gives you free rein across multiple applications. Planning was never so easy.

For contractors and installers

Save time, effort and money.

The improved flexibility of RAUVIPEX makes installation much easier. For you, that means less effort and faster construction times. The pipe structure allows more compact pipe wrapping. The new standard ring coils with a reduced outer diameter of 2.4 m can now be transported much more cost-effectively by standard HGVs. Project specific coil lengths with widths of up to 1.6 m and heights of up to 2.8 m are available.
