Surely in these difficult times, you have thought about how to reduce costs… In this article we explain the solution.
Reduces installation costs with the Cats® system
The Cats® system is a complete assembly system for the transfer of gaseous and liquid substances. It is a simple and affordable alternative for connecting boilers, solar and air conditioning systems, heat pumps, drinking water and grey water systems, etc. It is also recommended for the joints of boilers, solar panels, compressed air systems, heat pumps, fan coils, water pipe coils, aerothermal systems, etc.
The system is suitable for new installations as well as for repairs or complete overhauls of established systems. Our corrugated pipes are produced with high quality materials and are certified (DVGW) in Germany for use in gas installations made of AISI 316L as well as drinking water systems made of AISI 304 and AISI 316L.
Parallel corrugation allows the pipe to be bent easily and quickly by hand, without the need for tools. The smallest possible bend radius without causing a constriction of the cross-section in the pipe is equal to 1.20 to 1.70 of the outside diameter.
The main advantages of installing with the Cats® corrugated steel pipe system are as follows
- Reduced installation costs: The ease of installation helps to save on labor costs, since no welding or press-fittings are required throughout the entire installation, you only need your hands to bend, a CATS 120 press, and staple the entire installation.
- Versatility of use: A single system and a single pressing tool are sufficient for on-site installation of customized pipe for different uses, subject to different conditions and using different internal diameters, making it a versatile product for the hydro-thermo-sanitary industry. Cats® corrugated pipes are ideal for water distribution systems, gas distribution systems and solar thermal systems, all with a single assembly system.
- Pressure and corrosion resistance: AISI 304 and AISI 316L stainless steel is known for its resistance to corrosion and high pressures, it is optimal for use in humid environments, such as plumbing work.
- Lightweight: Cats® tubing is lighter than other materials such as copper or traditional rigid steel tubing, reducing transportation and installation.
- Flexible: Manually molded to fit various plant configurations without the need for press-fitting or complex welding. This reduces the risk of leakage and simplifies the work to be done.
- Reduced pressure losses: The bending radii of the corrugations give the Cats® corrugated pipe maximum performance during the bending phase, preventing pinching and avoiding the closure of the passage with a reduction of the internal diameter. They do not lose flow.
- Durability and resistance: Manufactured with high quality steels AISI 304 and AISI 316L, they have a long service life.
- Sustainability: Steel is 100% recyclable, i.e. after the recycling process, the same material with the same quality is obtained again and again. This makes products made mostly of steel so durable as well as reusable.
- Regulations: They are certified (DVGW) and manufactured to comply with international regulations and quality standards.
Professional workmanship and the use of appropriate accessories ensure a secure connection.
It’s that easy: save time, money and material resources!
