Instantor Launches Insulated Multilayer Pipe to Meet UK Building Regulations

Instantor, a trusted name in professional heating and plumbing solutions, has enhanced its product offering with the launch of a Fire Rated Increased Insulation Thickness Pex-Al-Pex Pipe. This latest development reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, regulation-compliant solutions for the UK market.

The newest addition to Instantor’s Multilayer pipe range features thicker insulation that directly addresses both Part L energy efficiency requirements and fire safety with a BL rating to EN13501. This insulated pipe is designed to deliver enhanced protection against heat loss and maintain a strong fire resistance profile, meeting the stringent demands of today’s building regulations.

The insulated Pex-Al-Pex pipe is durable and suitable for multiple uses in general plumbing and heating applications, including potable water. The pipe is made with inner and outer layers of PE-xB, a durable plastic that is crosslinked using the Silane method. It is then bound by high-quality adhesive to a butt-welded aluminium layer that is 100 per cent oxygen tight. The aluminium allows the pipe to keep its shape after bending. Fluids only touch the inner PE-xB layer, which ensures total hygiene and high corrosion resistance. The multilayer pipe is then enclosed in a scratch resistant, closed cell polyethylene foam sheath for insulation.

The new range, which consists of three different sized pipes, comes with a 50-year warranty (when used with Instantor Press Fittings), a testament to the brand’s confidence in reliability and long-term performance.

Neil Gaffney, Managing Director, Instantor, comments: “This product launch further underlines Instantor’s dedication to offering quality-assured, future-ready solutions that meet the evolving needs of professional installers and industry standards. It is another enhancement to our proven Instantor Press System, which combines our Press Fittings and Pex-Al-Pex pipe. We unveiled the new Insulated Multilayer Pipe at InstallerSHOW 2025, the perfect platform for showcasing it to installers, merchants and specifiers.
