JG Speedfit Speedpex Barrier Pipe – White 10mm x 50m

The JG Speedfit Speedpex Barrier Pipe in 10mm x 50m coil format is a flexible and high-performance plumbing solution designed for use in hot and cold water systems and sealed or vented central heating systems, including underfloor heating. Constructed from a multi-layered PEX material, this pipe features an integrated oxygen barrier that protects system components from corrosion by preventing the ingress of oxygen.

Its compact 10mm diameter and extended 50-metre coil length make it ideal for small-bore pipework installations, particularly where long runs are required with minimal joints—such as manifold-based central heating circuits or low-profile underfloor heating.
