BaseTM PEX PIPEBaseTM PEX is a high performance pipe that is both flexible and extremely resilient. Constructed from a superior cross linked polyethylene, our pipe benefits from a much higher resistance to both heat and pressure compared to other forms of PEX pipe, resulting in much greater strength and durability.

» 100% impermeable oxygen diffusion barrier

» Operational temperature up to 90 ºC

» Extremely flexible pipe for ease of installation

» Maintenance free

» Meets EN ISO 15875 standard

SYSTEM CONTROLSOur comprehensive range of innovative system controls offer the ultimate in both stylish, discreet design, coupled with intuitive, user friendly operation.

Our slimline series of thermostats offer an extensive range of control options, to include touch-screen, wireless, wifi, networked and via mobile app (Apple and Android platforms)

MANIFOLDSOur precision engineered BaseTM Nickel plated manifold offers complete system control through the utilisation of adjustable flow gauges, mixing valve and ‘A’ rated pump. The distribution of low temperature warm water is precisely regulated to each individual zone of the underfloor heating system.
