The WICU® plastic-covered copper tube

The KME WICU® tube is a copper tube with a plastic covering designed to give the tube external protection.

KME WICU® is designed to give the tube protection from aggressive materials as well as the weather. The covering also creates a thermal barrier which reduces heat loss in buried tubing and condensation from pipework exposed to the cold.

ADVANTAGES

• Certified for outdoor corrosion protection according to DIN 30672.
• Multi-purpose
• The copper tube is protected against aggressive materials, accidental damage and abrasion
• Reduced installation time
• Condensation is reduced on exposed pipework
• The surface temperature of the tube is reduced, reducing the risk of burns and overheating
• The plastic covering withstands service water temperatures of up to 95°C
• The covering remains flexible down to -60°C
• The noise level in exposed pipework is reduced
• The need to paint exposed pipework is reduced
• Suitable above or below ground as outdoor piping (e.g. for LP)
• Suitable for installation in areas with an aggressive atmosphere.
