aquatherm Fusiotherm® faser-composite pipe climatherm® faser-composite pipe Due to the integration and positive bond of the different materials, the Fusiotherm® and climatherm® faser-composite pipes offers much higher stability. The linear expansion is reduced to 1/5 the value of the standard PP-R pipes. Linear expansion ∆L (in): Fusiotherm® faser-composite pipe - α= 0.035
