The two systems we supply

PP-RCT Aqua-Plus or RK flexible pipe: where each one is stronger

We are not tied to one technology, so we choose the system for the project. Many networks combine both: the boiler room and above-ground sections in Aqua-Plus, long underground runs in flexible pipe.

  • +35-45%longer spans between supports on pipe racks: the pipe barely sagsInterplast catalogue
  • Zero maintenancethe jacket withstands rain, snow, sun, rodents and birds; the insulation stays dry
  • Zero corrosionno metal in the pipe, no scale build-up, the bore does not shrink over the years

How Aqua-Plus Prins pipes are joined

  1. Ends come preparedThe factory strips 150 mm of insulation from the ends (up to Ø63) or 225 mm (from Ø75), so welding can start right away.
  2. Welding the service pipeSocket fusion at 260 °C up to Ø125; butt fusion or electrofusion from Ø160.
  3. Casing over the jointAn M-PVC or HDPE casing slides over the joint. Elbows and tees are available ready-made and pre-insulated.
  4. FoamingThe casing is filled with two-component polyurethane through a Ø20 mm hole. The volume for each size is listed in the catalogue.
  5. Sealing and testingThe hole is sealed. Underground joints are air-tested at 0.2 bar for 2 minutes to EN 489.

Frequently asked questions

When to choose Aqua-Plus and when flexible pipe?

Aqua-Plus is stronger in boiler rooms, substations, networks with many nodes, above ground, inside buildings and at diameters above Ø160. RK flexible pipe is stronger on long underground runs up to Ø160: coils up to 770 m without joints. For underground networks up to Ø160 we price both options.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Delivery is priced separately for the volume and address.

Can I order only fittings or valves?

Yes. Aqua-Plus fittings, brass adapters, ball valves and manifolds are supplied both separately and together with pipe.

Can it be buried?

Yes. For underground networks the pipe comes with an HDPE jacket; after foaming, the joints are air-tested for tightness to EN 489.

What is the warranty?

10-year manufacturer's warranty on Aqua-Plus pipes and fittings, insured with Allianz for up to EUR 3,000,000.

Is it suitable for drinking and hot water?

Yes. Aqua-Plus pipes and fittings are certified for drinking water by WRAS (UK) and DVGW (Germany).

What if the supply temperature is above 95 °C?

PP-RCT is rated for 95 °C with short peaks up to 110 °C. For 115 °C up to Ø160 choose RK FibreFlex Pro flexible pipe; larger diameters we price in steel.

How long is delivery?

It depends on diameter, jacket and volume. We state the exact date in the quote together with the calculation.

Who do you work with?

Design and installation companies, general contractors, district heating utilities, industrial companies and donor-funded projects. We supply the project from its specification and help with tender documents.
