COOL-FIT® Product Highlights

100% maintenance-free and reliable

The plastic design eliminates the risk of corrosion and smooth inner surfaces prevent deposits, making the system virtually maintenance-free and as efficient as it was on its first day of operation.

65% less weight

Much lighter than metal piping systems, COOL-FIT® PE Plus lowers structural demands on buildings and supporting structures while reducing the need for heavy and expensive transport aids.

50% faster installation

Consisting of pre-insulated components that require no extra modifications, COOL-FIT® PE Plus takes advantage of electrofusion installation to allow for rapid set-up.

Higher energy efficiency

The low thermal conductivity of the plastic paired with the highly efficient foam increase the system’s energy efficiency, which in turn cuts energy costs.
