Abstract
Multi-layer pipe was first developed around 20 years ago. Since its entry, it has been utilized in countless installations across the globe and has recognized an excellent track record of reliability. During this period, it was in relatively limited supply in the UK, and carried a high price tag due to its cutting-edge design and the complicated manufacturing processes involved. The Multi-layer Pipe System (MLP) is a progressive, very hard wearing, and easy to work with system. It is manufactured using a well-engineered combination of toughened Pex-b plastic and overlay welded aluminum.
