Applications
System KAN-therm ultraLINE system is a completely versatile solution. High pressure and temperature resistance as well as high hygienic mechanical strength allow to use the product for the construction of virtually any installation in a typical single-family, multi-family houses and public buildings.
KAN-therm ultraLINE can be used without any obstacles even in industrial installations, for instance in compressed air installations.
Pipes with aluminum layer that are available in the system offer make the solution also dedicated to all installations where the key factor is maximum limiting the thermal elongation of the pipeline and achieving high aesthetics, e.g: minimizing the effect of “hanging curtains” pipeline sections between the fixing points.
The lack of shape memory effect in pipes with aluminium layer (can retain the shape they take) gives great freedom and comfort in installation of bigger-diameter pipelines. Using the given pipe type results in reducing the number of additional profiling and anchoring elements in the pipeline

Pipes
KAN-therm ultraLINE system offer includes pipes with aluminium and EVOH layers. With an offer configured this way the idea of ultraLINE product gives a possibility of flexible configuration of the end technical solution by an installation designer, an installer or investor unprecedented on the market.
1 The choice of a suitable solution can be determined not only
by the preferences of those involved in a specific project, but
Polyethylene PE-RT
also by the nature of the project, e.g. the need for surface
installation in sacred or historic buildings, where pipes with
an aluminium layer will have much better performance characteristics.
3 Aluminium layer
5 Polyethylene PE-RT
Polyethylene pipes with aluminium layer
Pipes with aluminium layer consist of:
the inner layer (base pipe) made of PE-RT polyethylene with improved thermal resistance, the middle layer in the form of a specially selected, flexible laser butt-welded aluminium strip, the outer layer (alloy) of polyethylene with improved thermal performance PE-RT.
The aluminium layer ensures diffusion tightness and makes the pipes have 8 times less thermal expansion than polyethylene pipes with the EVOH layer. Thanks to the butt-welding of the aluminium layer, the pipes are perfectly round cross-section. Pipes in the entire range of diameters, i.e. Ø14×2; Ø16×2.2; Ø20×2.8 Ø25×2.5; Ø32×3 are available in two types: without thermal insulation, with thermal insulation of different thickness*.

PERT² and PEXC polyethylene pipes with EVOH layer
PERT² and PEXC pipes in the KAN-therm ultraLINE offer (diameter range 14-20 mm) are made in five-layer structure.
This means that the EVOH anti-diffusion layer, which protects the system against oxygen penetration into the pipeline, is made as an inner layer covered with an additional layer of PE-XC or PE-RT polyethylene (depending on the pipe type). This positioning of the EVOH anti-diffusion layer protects it from possible damage during installation.
PERT² pipes are manufactured from polyethylene with improved thermal resistance. PERT² pipes are equipped with EVOH anti-diffusion layer and can therefore be used for both heating and potable water installations. Pipes in the entire range of diameters, i.e. Ø14×2; Ø16×2.2; Ø20×2.8 are available in two types: without thermal insulation, with thermal insulation of different thickness*.
* details in KAN-therm product catalogue
PEXC pipes are manufactured from high-density polyethylene and cross-linked by electron beam (‘c’ method
– a physical method, without the use of chemicals). PEXC pipes are equipped with an EVOH anti-diffusion layer,
so they can be used in both heating and potable water installations. Pipes in the entire range of diameters,
i.e. Ø14×2; Ø16×2.2; Ø20×2.8 are available in two types: without thermal insulation, with thermal insulation
of different thickness*.

Fittings
The KAN-therm ultraLINE system provides the entire range of fittings required to complete even the most complex installations.
All fittings are available in plastic (PPSU) and brass. Threaded couplings are available in brass only.
The fittings are compatible with all ultraLINE pipes.
The biggest advantage of ultraLINE fittings is their construction without O-rings. The ultraLINE fitting is a single solid body with a specially shaped design allowing the assembly of connections using a sliding sleeve.
As a result, the KAN-therm ultraLINE system eliminates the risk of assembly errors, is easy and quick
to install and guarantees many years of trouble-free operation. The entire range of elements available
comprises the following:
Couplings and reducers made of plastic PPSU and brass Steel/ultraLINE transition connectors made of brass, PPSU plastic and brass elbows, Equal and reduction tees made of plastic PPSU and brass, ultraLINE brass plugs, Brass fittings with threads, Brass elbows and tees with threads, Tap connectors with various lengths in brass design, Brass elbows and tees with nickel-plated pipes.

Sliding sleeves
Sliding sleeves of KAN-therm ultraLINE system are one of the most important elements responsible for connecting and sealing the pipe with the fittings. The sleeves are produced of high quality PVDF plastic.
Like the fittings, the sliding sleeves can be used with all KANtherm ultraLINE pipes.
Advantages of fitting and sliding sleeve design
Wide range of fittings and threaded connections, Versatility of use, allowing the use of brass and plastic elements for virtually every type of installation, Wide range of plastic components (PPSU), guaranteeing the possibility of price optimization of the complete
investment and securing the system against negative effects of water with unfavourable chemical composition, Universal design of threaded couplings ensuring safe and tight connection with various types of ultraLINE pipes, Design of elements in diameters 25 and 32 mm with increased internal cross-section, thanks to which the
hydraulics is significantly increased and the so-called hydraulic optimization of the designed systems is enabled, Aesthetic look of the fittings and bright color of PPSU plastic design that significantly increases the visibility
of the element in dark rooms, Symmetrical design of the sliding sleeves that minimizes the risk of mistakes and significantly increases
convenience during assembly.

Assembly
To perform connections in KAN-therm ultraLINE system, use original KAN-therm tools only. Tools are available as individual
components or in complete sets.
Making an ultraLINE connection is a few very easy and quick steps.
01
The selected KAN-therm ultraLINE pipe should be cut perpendicularly to the axis
to the required length by
means of pipe cutters.
02
Put the sleeve onto the pipe. Equipe the hand or battery powered expander with an expanding head suitable for the pipe and its diameter.
03
Directly (!) after expansion, insert the fitting into the pipe to the last protrusion on the
fitting stub.
04
Slide the sleeve with manual chain or battery powered sliding sleeve tool. The fittings may be grabbed only by their collars.
29
04
a
Equip the sliding sleeve tool with special forks.
04
b
Slide the sleeve using manual chain or battery powered sliding sleeve tool.
04
c
It is possible to slide a sleeve on with the use of electric drives, typical for “Press” connections.
05 The connection is ready for the pressure testing.
06
07 Pay attention to the correct
position of the fittings in the forks of the tool.
In case of non-compliance with this rule, the fitting and the components of the connection may be overloaded.
NOTE! Remember to expand the KAN-therm ultraLINE pipes using special expanding head suitable for the pipe type.
PERTAL² pipes with an aluminium layer are to be expanded using “silver” expanding
heads (14, 16, 20, 25, 32 mm).
PERT² and PEXC pipes with an EVOH layer should be expanded using “black” expanding heads (14, 16, 20 mm).
