Key Features and Benefits of Astral MultiPex Pipes and Pipe Fittings
- High Temperature Resistance: The Astral MultiPex piping system can handle hot water up to 95°C which makes it suitable for various plumbing applications.
- Frost Resistance: These PEX plumbing pipes and fittings are ideal for areas with cold winters as they can withstand freezing temperatures without bursting.
- High-pressure Resistance: The MultiPex piping system can handle high water pressure, reducing the risk of leaks and bursts.
- Low Thermal Conductivity: Minimises heat loss in hot water lines and prevents condensation on cold water lines.
- Lightweight: These PEX-AL pipe and pipe fittings are easy to handle and transport during installation.
- Flexible Design & Installation: It simplifies routing around corners and obstacles, reducing the need for plumbing fittings.
- High Bending Flexibility: Bends easily without breaking and allows for efficient installation in tight spaces.
- Non-Conductive: This PEX piping system does not conduct electricity and eliminates the risk of stray current corrosion.
- Low Noise: PEX pipe and pipe fittings reduce water noise compared to traditional metal pipes.
- High Corrosion Resistance: It resists rust and degradation to ensure a long lifespan.
- High Flow Rate: These PEX-AL hot water pipework deliver water efficiently with minimal pressure loss.
- Limescale Resistance: It prevents the buildup of limescale and other deposits which reduces maintenance needs.
- Long Service Life: These pipes and pipe fittings are durable and built to last for many years.
- Drinking Water Safe: Astral MultiPex piping system meets standards for safe use with potable water.
- Better Fungi Resistance: Less susceptible to mould and mildew growth compared to some other piping materials.

Unique Crimping Joining MethodsÂ
Astral MultiPex piping system utilises a unique crimping joining method that revolutionises how pipes and pipe fittings connect. It used a compressed metal ring to create leak-proof pipe joints. This method provides:
- Fast and Easy Installation: No need for heat, flames, or complicated tools. Simply use a dedicated crimping tool to create a secure connection in seconds.
- A Reliable Seal: The compressed metal ring is an imperative part of the pipe connector that creates a watertight bond that eliminates leaks and ensures the long-term performance of these pipes.
- It is Cost-Effective: Crimping eliminates the need for expensive soldering equipment, reduces installation time, and saves you money.
- Versatility for All: This crimping method offers a user-friendly solution for residential and commercial applications of PEX-AL pipes and plumbing fittings.
Benefits of Crimping Method for PEX-AL-Pex Plumbing Fittings
- Ease of Use: Crimping requires minimal training and eliminates soldering or complex threading for joining PEX pipes and pipe fittings.
- Leak-proof Joints: The secure crimped joint ensures long-lasting and reliable connections you can trust.
- Quick and Fat Installation: No heat-up time or drying needed; simply crimp and move on for faster project completion of PEX pipe and pipe fittings.
- Zero Waiting Time: Pipes connected using the crimping method allow immediate use of the PEX piping system.
