  • Low pressure, only 12 bar
  • Lower system weight
  • Space saving due to reduced component dimensions
  • Lower power consumption
  • Time and cost saving installation
  • No welding needed (press-fitting system)
  • Less mechanical strain in piping reducing the possibilities for leakage and failure in the system
  • Time and cost saving maintenance
  • Safer and easier to maintain.

Installation Heien-Larssen offers complete installation and delivery of necessary pipes and fittings.
