Vipert Oxygen Barrier Radiant Tubing
ViPert Oxygen Barrier Radiant Tubing
ViPert PE-RT oxygen barrier tubing protects hydronic heating systems from corrosion that shortens equipment life and reduces efficiency. The EVOH oxygen barrier layer blocks dissolved oxygen that causes rust on boilers, pumps, and valves - keeping ferrous components in like-new condition for decades. Whether you're installing oxygen barrier radiant tubing for floor heating, baseboard systems, or wall panels, ViPert's superior PE-RT flexibility and relaxed memory make layouts simple and installation fast compared to standard PEX. Available in sizes from 3/8" to 2" with coil lengths from 100 to 1,200 feet.
Engineered from premium Dowlex PE-RT resin, ViPert delivers 160 psi @ 73°F pressure rating, operates up to 200°F maximum, and is backed by a 25-year limited warranty. The material is 100% recyclable and compatible with cold expansion, crimp, and push-to-connect fittings - accommodating contractor preferences and existing tool availability. For PEX fittings for radiant heat applications, proper sizing (1/2" for 200–300 ft loops, 5/8"–3/4" for 300-400 ft loops) ensures even heat distribution and prevents pressure loss.
ViPert tubing suits radiant floor heating (in-slab and staple-up), hot water baseboard systems, radiant wall and ceiling heating, and outdoor snow melt applications. Learn more about PEX piping applications for radiant heat in our heating guide. For multi-zone systems, pair ViPert with radiant heating fittings and zone valve controls. Our fast delivery on most orders ensures your project stays on schedule.
