The main advantages of corrugated stainless pipes for heating are that they have good flexibility due to the annular corrugation and the thickness of the pipe walls.
Also, this shape gives strength to the stainless corrugated pipe, the annular corrugation of the pipe acts as a strength amplifier, AISI-304 stainless steel provides additional strength, withstanding a significant range of pressure and temperature differences.
Corrugated stainless steel pipes have a working pressure of 15 atmospheres, and the maximum allowable pressure is 50 atmospheres for small pipe sizes of 15 mm.
Larger diameter corrugated pipes are destroyed only when exposed to a pressure of more than 20 atmospheres. The operating temperature that the pipe corrugation can withstand varies from -50 to +400°C.
The minimum bending radius of pipes, equal to their diameter, allows them to be used in the most difficult conditions to create reliable heating systems.
For a reliable connection of corrugated stainless pipes, it is necessary to use brass fittings with silicone seals, which can withstand a temperature range from -5 to +150° Celsius.
To create a heating system and connect heating radiators from a corrugated pipeline, you just need to put the fitting on the pipe, or vice versa, the pipe into the fitting and tighten the compression nut on the fittings from the outside.
Corrugated pipes are easy to install. According to the method of installation, corrugated stainless steel pipes used in heating systems turn out to be better than polyethylene pipes.

The main advantage of corrugated stainless steel pipes is high heat transfer and long service life. It practically does not have a limiting framework and does not decrease even when the design temperature of the coolant constantly exceeds the operating temperature.
The performance characteristics of the pipe bellows are practically on par with copper structures.
Scale elements and salt deposits do not accumulate inside the considered stainless pipelines. Resistance to overgrowth makes the use of the product very beneficial. The heating circuit created on its basis will work stably and smoothly.
The stainless steel bellows pipe is compact and lightweight. It can be easily delivered to the site of subsequent installation.
It is quite easy to install pipelines from the products in question. To solve this problem, you do not need to possess a large number of professional skills and knowledge.
It is possible to cope with the installation on your own, without the involvement of third-party specialists.To mount a heating system from corrugated pipes, you need a minimum set of tools: a pipe cutter or grinder, a gas or adjustable wrench. The heating connection can be assembled in a short time.
According to existing statistics, the installation of corrugated steel pipes is three times faster than the procedure using structures from alternative materials.
Corrugated piping for heating system
When installing a corrugated pipe heating system, it is possible not to use corner fittings, the pipe itself bends well by 90 degrees without deforming the bore diameter of the product, you can save on corner fittings. All this makes stainless steel corrugation the most optimal plumbing material when arranging heating systems.
The most demanded stainless pipe for connecting heating radiators is a corrugated pipe with a bore of 20 mm.
For the pipe, brass fittings with a connecting size of 20 * 3/4 external thread are used, which are suitable for heating batteries and do not narrow the bore diameter for the circulation of the coolant.
A corrugated pipe 20 mm made of stainless steel is well suited for installing heating in a private house with a one-pipe system for connecting radiators and a two-pipe system.
For good heat transfer, the pipe is influenced by the thinness of the pipe and the corrugated structure, which increases the pipe surface by 30 percent compared to a straight one.
The pipeline has the ability to compensate for linear expansion due to the corrugated structure, which is especially important when installing heating.
A stainless steel heating corrugation is not afraid of freezing the system, if water freezes in it, then the pipe simply expands, and in the future the system can be warmed up with a blowtorch.
LLC "Komtsentr Strategy" offers corrugated pipes made of stainless steel for heating at the manufacturer's price for shops and wholesale companies.
