REHAU is set to highlight the role that its pre-insulated pipe systems have in the future of district heating and heat pumps at the upcoming InstallerSHOW 2024, at the NEC in Birmingham, United Kingdom (UK).
Taking place from 25 to 27 June, 2024, REHAU will be at stand 5H47 throughout the event, with the RAUVITHERM pipe system taking center stage.
RAUVITHERM pipe system
RAUVITHERM’s flexibility make it the perfect solution for a variety of different applications, from heat pumps to small-medium heat networks. These two uses are critical to national decarbonization goals, especially as recent statistics show that the UK district heating market share is currently less than 3%, but it will need to reach 20% by 2050 to hit government targets.
The Government is targeting over 600,000 heat pump installations a year by 2028
As well as this, the Government is targeting over 600,000 heat pump installations a year by 2028, which will require an easy-to-use and effective pipe system for externally located heat pump systems. When these systems are located away from homes, pre-insulated pipe is required to transfer heat to the property with minimal heat loss.
Entire product portfolio
Be it old or new buildings, these new heat systems help towards lowering carbon output, something REHAU will be discussing at their upcoming seminar - Retrofit Meets: Solutions for Decarbonising Heritage Estates.
Steve Richmond, Head of Marketing & Technical at REHAU UK, said: "The InstallerSHOW is the perfect venue to highlight our RAUVITHERM pipe system to installers looking at ways to add heat pumps away from the property or smaller heat networks. Alongside this, we will also be showcasing solutions for district heating, commercial heating, cooling, and more. Our expert team will be on hand to answer any of your questions about our entire product portfolio."
Plumbing and heating range
Also featuring at REHAU’s stand will be the company’s full plumbing and heating range, including the recently launched RAUTITAN Flex Green sustainable pipe system, and the first chance to see their new PP-R Riser range - a complete O-ring-free plumbing solution from plant room to tap for commercial and multi-residential buildings.
Throughout the show REHAU will be hosting a competition to see who can make a REHAU fitting in the fastest time. Participants will have a quick demonstration on how easy it is to install REHAU’s pipe fittings, before going against the clock themselves. The fastest time each day will win a £150 Love2shop voucher.
