CLIMATEFIX ALOX
The revolutionary ALOX pipe
The first flexible 3-layer composite pipe with an aluminium outer layer, comparable to the performance of copper, for maximum efficiency when transporting the heating and cooling medium.
The pipe connection is made with well-proven, easy-to-install PROTEC push-fit fittings.
The ALOX pipe can be installed in both extruded and rolled profiles and can therefore be used in all suspended ceiling cooling and heating systems.
Material structure
- PE-RT inner layer: proven and durable / colour: transparent
- Force-transmitting intermediate layer: temperature-stable and ageing-resistant
- Aluminium outer layer: optimum heat transfer
- Metal foil tube: mechanical stability

Inner diameter
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| 12 mm | 11 mm | lower pressure loss than copper or stainless steel |
Wall thickness
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| 1,6 mm | 0,5 mm | Robust, in rolls, therefore space-saving, not easy to bend, can be easily adjusted on site |
Outer diameter
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| 15,2 mm | 12 mm | greater outer surface-area |
surface area
Surface area of pipe in relation to 1 metre of pipe
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| 47,52 mm² | 37,69 mm² | 27% greater surface area than copper or stainless steel |
Druckverlust
Pressure loss with equal heat output in relation to 1 metre of pipe
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| 5 Pa | 10 Pa | 50% less pressure loss than copper and stainless steel |
Processability
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| due to low wall thickness:
| Shorter installation times, adaptation possible on the construction site, more installation safety |
Preis
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
inexpensive | Cost-intensive, copper and stainless steel are dependent on daily prices | Low material costs, calculable for long-term construction sites, high planning reliability |
Verbindungstechnik
| ALOX pipe | copper or stainless steel | effect |
| plug-in system | press system with special pressing sleeves and special tools | PROTEC connector system, therefore 10x faster than conventional connections with copper or stainless steel |
