COES SPA HEXA PP-RCT TM MULTILAYER PIPE FOR HVAC, DRINKING WATER AND FOOD APPLICATIONS SPECIAL FEATURES INNOVATIVE RAW MATERIAL HIGHER PRESSURE RESISTANCE EVEN AT HIGH TEMPERATURES SMALLER WALL THICKNESS = HIGHER HYDRAULIC CAPACITY SIMPLE INSTALLATION METHOD STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATES
Page 2 THE NEXT GENERATION PP-R FOR PLUMBING & HEATING SYSTEMS HEXA PP-RCT TM presents benefits to all members of the value chain from manufacturer to the end user Biggest innovation since PP-R was introduced more than 20 years ago. HEXA PP-RCT TM is stronger than standard PP-R, which offers several advantages: Thinner pipe walls with same outer diameter resulting in a higher hydraulic capacity Higher pressure resistance at all application classes (ISO15874) Higher durability even at elevated temperatures Higher percentage of smaller pipes installation while maintaining sufficient water supply Fibre glass free: Environmentally friendly solution! In addition, HEXA PP-RCT TM pipes will offer enhanced long-term durability, due to better resistance to oxidation and slow crack growth

Black line represents the same behavior for standard PPR. As shown in the graph, HEXA PP-R TM can withstand more pressure for a longer period of time at any given temperature.

Page 7 DENDRIT SOFTWARE Dendrit Software (www.dendrit.de) used in combination with the HEXA PP-RCT TM pipes and fittings will result in an overall saving of material and costs by using a bigger percentage of smaller diameters. Stronger material allows for an 18% reduction in wall thickness, which increases the inside area of the pipe. The software will calculate the most performing dimensions relative to the engineering needs of any given project (water flow, pressure, temperature...) and could be supplied on demand together with COES products.

Page 8 JOINTING OF THE HEXA PP-RCT TM SYSTEM Plumbers donʼt need to learn a new method or invest in new equipment. HEXA PP-RCT TM pipes and fittings are jointed with the socket fusion welding process The method is identical to the procedure used for standard PP-R and is described in DVS 2207 Part 11
Page 9 STANDARDS, GUIDELINES AND APPROVALS The SKZ-Testing and Supervisory Guideline HR 3.34 Pressure Pipe System made of PP-RCT covers the application classes of EN ISO 15874. It specifies raw material requirements as well as the type-, audit-, batch release- and process verification testing. DIN 8077 and DIN 8078 (Germany) including PP-RCT will be published in June 2007. ÖNORM B5174(Austria) including PP-RCT in progress. AENOR (Spain) specifications for PP-RCT in progress. IIP (Italy) quality mark in preparation.
