At Underfloor Store, we supply REHAU pre-insulated pipe for applications ranging from domestic air source heat pump connections to large district heating and commercial heat networks.
Manufactured using durable PE-Xa carrier pipes and advanced insulation technologies, REHAU pre-insulated pipe provides a flexible and reliable way to transport heating water between buildings, heat sources and plant rooms while helping to minimise heat loss.
The range is available in UNO and DUO configurations. UNO contains a single carrier pipe, while DUO combines the heating flow and return pipes within one insulated outer casing.
REHAU offers three specialist pre-insulated pipe systems. The right choice will depend on the size of the installation, required thermal performance, pipe dimensions and the level of installation flexibility needed.
| REHAU range | Best suited to | Key characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| RAUVITHERM | Heat pumps and smaller heat networks | Lightweight and highly flexible, with closed-cell PE foam insulation |
| RAUVIPEX | Modern heat networks and varied installations | Flexible bonded system with PUR insulation, a robust outer casing and longitudinal watertightness barrier |
| RAUTHERMEX | Large heat networks and longer pipe runs | High-performance bonded PU insulation designed to minimise heat loss |
RAUVITHERM is a lightweight and highly flexible pre-insulated pipe system suited to air source heat pump connections and smaller heat networks. Manufactured in the UK, its flexible PE foam insulation makes it easier to handle and route around changes in direction.
Ideal for:
RAUVIPEX is a modern, versatile pre-insulated pipe system offering a strong combination of thermal performance, flexibility and durability. Its fine-pored PUR foam insulation, longitudinal watertightness barrier and robust corrugated outer casing make it suitable for demanding underground heating and cooling networks.
Ideal for:
RAUTHERMEX is designed for larger district heating and commercial heat network applications where minimising heat loss is particularly important. It combines durable PE-Xa carrier pipes with high-performance bonded PU foam insulation, making it well suited to longer pipe runs and larger network loads.
Ideal for:
UNO pipe contains one PE-Xa carrier pipe within an insulated outer casing. Separate UNO pipes are normally required for the heating flow and return, making this configuration useful for larger pipe sizes or routes where the two pipes need to run separately.
DUO pipe contains two carrier pipes within one insulated casing, allowing the heating flow and return to be installed together. This can reduce the installation space required and simplify pipe routing.
Complete your installation with compatible REHAU accessories, including rubber end caps, dry end caps and male BSP screw connection fittings. Accessories must be matched to the selected pipe range, UNO or DUO configuration, carrier-pipe size and outer-casing diameter.

Please note: Pipe sizing should be confirmed against the system design, required flow rate, pressure loss and operating temperature.
