 Freeze Protection
Urecon pre-insulated pipe and heat trace systems are commonly used in industrial applications where freeze protection or temperature maintenance is required.
Pipe can be installed on pipe racks, sleepers or even shallow buried. With our system, the pipe is insulated in the factory and arrives on site ready to install.
Urecon's unique method of insulating 'over the bell' of socket joined PVC and CPVC (or push-on DI) pipe means no more bare pipe joints or expensive joint kits. See Bell x Spigot or Push On Joints.
