Can you use Speedfit pipe underfloor heating?
SPEEDFIT LAYFLAT® BARRIER PIPE JG Layflat® Pipe is easy to handle when removed from the coil and very flexible making it especially suitable for underfloor heating installations.
What is John Guest pipe made of?
Speedfit Barrier Pipe is manufactured to BS7291 Parts 1, 2 and 3 Class S and is kitemarked. It is made up of 5 layers, the centre of which is a blue coloured oxygen barrier which prevents the ingress of air into the system, thereby reducing the effect of corrosion on metal components.
What size pipe is used for underfloor heating?
Use the 16×2 mm multilayer pipe for the underfloor heating. The multilayer pipe offers 100 % oxygen diffusion thanks to the aluminium layer. PEX/AL/PEX pipe is much stronger than any PERT pipe.
Can you use copper pipe for underfloor heating?
If it flexible and versatile for the underfloor heating project? We all know that plastic is a more flexible and versatile pipe material than copper and underfloor heating installations are the perfect testament of this. For example, copper is simply too rigid to achieve this.
Which underfloor heating pipe is best?
There are 10 reasons why multilayer pipe is the best available pipe for underfloor heating:
- Butt-welded aluminium pipe.
- 100% oxygen-tight and water vapour diffusion tight.
- Low coefficient of linear expansion.
- Entirely corrosion-resistant, also against chemicals and electrochemicals.

Is speedfit as good as copper?
Speedfit is fine, the flow rates are good in plastic, better than copper size for size. If you are worried about flow look closely at the taps and valves you will be using.
Which pipe is best for underfloor heating?
How thick are underfloor heating pipes?
Screed depths with underfloor heating systems It uses the 16mm PEX-A heating pipe which is tied to a metal gridwork frame and submerged in a layer of concrete, typically about 150mm deep. The Inscreed Cable electric heating system also requires installation within a concrete screed depth of 50 – 100 mm.
Can you connect underfloor heating to radiator pipes?
Wet underfloor heating and radiators can indeed be combined together. These also work with underfloor heating systems, but it can sometimes be more practical or cost efficient to install or keep radiators upstairs. It is very popular these days to install ufh in new build extensions.
Can you join UFH pipes?
We offer a range of underfloor heating pipe repair fittings the same fitting can also be used for joining two underfloor heating pipes together when pipework needs extending.
