Watts RadiantPERT Tubing

RadiantPERT | Polyethylene Raised Temperature Tubing with Oxygen Barrier

What Is Radiant PERT?
PE-RT stands for Polyethylene Raised Temperature. RadiantPERT is manufactured with DowlexTM 2344, which offers high strength, high temperature resistance, and long life without crosslinking. PE-RT tubing is constructed with five layers of material. The core and outermost layer are PE-RT, and sandwiched in the middle is an integral ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) oxygen barrier. At the same time the five-layer tubing  is more flexible and easier to install than other piping materials used in hydronic radiant heating, cooling, snow melting, and distribution piping applications. PE-RT has been used successfully for nearly 30 years in radiant heating applications.

5 layer RadiantPERT offers several benefits over other piping materials:
  • Greater flexibility
  • The outer PE-RT layer protects the oxygen barrier from job-site abuse and moisture
  • Easier to pull through joists and confined spaces
  • Recyclable material
  • Proven Performance
  • 30 year track record
  • Rated to 180 °F at 100 psi
You may use RadiantPERT as distribution piping for:
  • Radiant heating/cooling systems
  • Snow melting systems
  • Radiators
  • Baseboard
  • Fan coils or kickspace heaters 

 - Make the Advanced Choice -
For hydronic heating, cooling, snow melting and distribution piping

RadiantPERT is certified to ASTM F2623 for Polyethylene of Raised Temperature (PE-RT) SDR 9 Tubing by NSF. This standard includes requirements and testing methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, sustained hydrostatic pressure strength, and bend strength.
  • RadiantPERT meets or exceeds these standards.
  • RadiantPERT is tested and listed to NSF-14 (rfh).
  • Maximum operating temperature and pressure:
     - 200 psi at 73° F
     - 100 psi at 180° F
  • PPI TR-4 listing at 73° F and 180° F
  • RadiantPERT is certified to the Uniform Mechanical Code.

The Mod Con Double Stack From HTP

The Mod Con Double Stack Commercial Boiler features an intelligent design that delivers hydronic heating at 92% thermal efficiency. The high grade modulating gas burner operates at a 10 to 1 turndown ratio to meet variable heating needs. Quality construction, a small footprint, and convenient features make the Mod Con Commercial Boiler the best choice for commercial heating applications.

Versatile Range
Two models ranging from 1 million to 1.7 million BTU, suitable for every commercial application

Venting
Complete flexibility with the ability to vent up to 150 ft.

Lower exhaust temperatures due to high efficiencies allows for the use of PVC or other plastic venting materials, saving on installation cost and time

Built-in cascading capability
A built-in sequencer allows up to four boilers to be linked together, providing increased turndown ratios, built-in redundancy, and a total heating capacity of up to 6.8 Million BTU.

10 to 1 Turndown Ratio
With a modulating burner combustion system and two independent boilers working together as one unit, the Mod Con Double Stack boiler is able to operate at a true 10:1 turndown ratio, saving fuel and providing comfort levels efficiently and evenly.

Quality Design
The 316L stainless steel provides excellent heat transfer properties and increased corrosion resistance. The Mod Con Double Stack heat exchanger is made without the use of gaskets with superior welding technology. It is also ASME approved and is 150 PSI relief rated.

Indirect Water Heater Integration
With the addition of a storage tank the Mod Con Double Stack boiler can be converted into a hot water heater to provide ample heating and hot water, saving you space and money.

A Smarter Way To Conserve Water


Available in Stainless and Bronze

Introducing the Taco SmartPlus
Water conservation has a brainy new look. When set to “Smart” mode, the SmartPlus records the family’s hot water usage over seven days, then performs the pattern for the next week. This “save and perform” process occurs constantly, so hot water is ready to be used when it’s
wanted – and not a moment sooner.

Have it your way
You can also set the SmartPlus to “Pulse” mode. The pump will operate for 150 seconds every ten minutes to maintain hot water at all fixtures.

Vacation mode
If no hot water is used for 36 hours, the SmartPlus will shut itself off until it detects usage. It will even automatically exercise once a week to prevent corrosion and scale buildup.

Homeowners see the savings
With this kind of efficiency, homeowners can save up to 12,000 gallons of water per year; water that would normally go down the drain while they wait for hot water!

Always a better choice
The SmartPlus is designed for systems with dedicated hot water return lines. It combines the reliability of our famous “00” circulators with cutting edge Taco electronics for a comfort solution that turns a good job into a great job. Visit us online today at www.taco-hvac.com and see how much more we can do for you.
