PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Onix is a polymer-rich, multi-layer, industrial-grade hose used for
hydronic heating and snowmelting applications. It contains five
distinct structural layers. The Durel inner tube is a peroxide-cured,
cross-linked EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). This layer is
wrapped with a ductile 00 grade aluminum oxygen barrier, called
AlumaShield. A contour layer of Durel (EPDM) is extruded over the
AlumaShield. Spiral reinforcing cords of Aramid fibers are applied
over the contour layer. This reinforcing is covered with the outer
HiGuard cover composed of sulfur-cured, cross-linked EPDM.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
Onix has a maximum working temperature of 180°F at 100 psi.
Burst pressure is greater than 800 psi at 70
°
F; greater than 600 psi
at 180°F.
ONIX ACCESSORIES
Several accessories are associated with Onix. Please reference other
Watts Radiant documents for more information.
