Advantages of our solution
Insulation protection
The sliding / protective mesh made of PA 6.6
the thermal insulation ArmaFlex LS
is reliably protected from damage.
Easy to pull in
Due to the excellent sliding properties
of the sliding / protective net made of PA 6.6
guarantees effortless and quick insertion into an
into an empty conduit is guaranteed.
Uncomplicated assembly
Mounting the clamping sleeve with
the locking pin according to EN14420-3 can be
with the aid of a simple vice
on site using a simple vice.
Shortening without special tools
To cut the chlorine-butyl hose to length
with a sharp knife.
Extreme flexibility
A bending radius of only 4x Da
enables a wide range of
of possible applications.
Low oxygen diffusion
The diffusion tightness minimizes the risk of
risk of corrosion and contamination,
which leads to a longer service life of the
the entire system and at the same time
reduces maintenance and repair costs.
Also available as a multiple heat pump connection line
Type OmniGlider
Frequently asked questions about GreatGlider
What is GreatGlider?
GreatGlider is a flexible heat pump connection line made of butyl hose (IIR). It is available as a single or double line, pre-insulated with ArmaFlex SE on request and with a sliding and protective net.
Is GreatGlider oxygen diffusion-tight?
Yes. GreatGlider is oxygen diffusion-tight and meets DIN 4726 at 40 °C and 80 °C.
What are the technical data of GreatGlider?
Nominal pressure PN 10, operating temperature −30 °C to +90 °C, bending radius 4 × outer diameter. The ArmaFlex SE insulation has a thermal conductivity of λ ≤ 0.035 W/(m·K).
In which sizes and lengths is GreatGlider available?
GreatGlider is available with an inner diameter of 25, 32 and 38 mm, as a single or double line and in any length. Lengths can be freely assembled.
How is GreatGlider cut and connected?
A sharp knife is enough to cut it. Do not cut with an angle grinder or saw. It is connected with a detachable clamping sleeve with spring pin according to EN 14420-3 (union nut or male thread) or permanently crimped, also with a 90° bend.
Does GreatGlider help against heat pump humming and droning?
Yes. As a flexible connection line, GreatGlider reduces the transmission of heat pump vibrations to the pipework and thus humming and droning in the building.
What should be considered for refrigeration applications?
For refrigeration applications, stainless steel nuts should be used to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
