KUTERLEX PLUS, PLASTIC COATED COPPER TUBE
Kuterlex Plus copper tube is sheathed in a continuous cover that has air channels on the internal surface
Kuterlex Plus is primarily designed to give the tube enhanced protection from external attack. In addition, the cover creates a thermal barrier which reduces heat loss from buried tube and condensation on exposed cold pipework. It has an insulation factor of 0.29 W/m/K.
