PERT-II Pre-insulated Direct-buried Pipes for Low-temperature Heating and Cooling Water

WanFu Insulation supplies corrosion-resistant PERT-II pre-insulated direct-buried pipe systems for district heating and cooling, hot-spring water, air-source and ground-source heat-pump networks, and other water systems with operating temperatures up to 80°C. Butt-fusion, electrofusion, and flange connection solutions are available.

Product Overview


Designed for district heating, cooling, hot water, and heat pump pipeline systems with operating temperatures up to 80°C.

Corrosion Resistance & Long Service Life

PERT-II pipes offer excellent corrosion resistance without additional anti-corrosion treatment, helping extend service life and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Smooth Inner Wall & High Flow Efficiency

The smooth inner surface reduces friction resistance and prevents scaling, improving water transmission efficiency and ensuring more stable pipeline performance.

Cost-Effective & Easy Installation

Advanced polymer material technology makes small-diameter PERT-II pipes (below DN200) more economical than traditional seamless steel pipes, while the simple installation process reduces labor requirements and construction costs.
