Certus brings press-fit multi-layer pipework to the UK

Certus has launched a multi-layer press-fit plumbing system for potable, sanitary and heating applications. The K1 system has visible indicators to mark the insert depth of pipes, so no guesswork is needed during installation. This pipe system is made from corrosion resistant MP (metal plastic) PEX-C pipe and high-quality PPSU fittings with a fixed stainless-steel sleeve. It is available in 16, 20, 25, 32, 40 and 50 mm sizes.

The system is WRAS approved and already widely used across Europe.

K1 is resistant to oxygen diffusion, due to the metal layer, which allows it to be installed in walls and floors since it can subsequently be detected.
