Ridgeline products
Corrugated 316L stainless steel tube, P1 and RidgeLock connections, Flexis connectors and underfloor systems. Select the right assembly for the application and check its own approval scope and installation requirements.
Ridgeline tube
Marine-grade stainless steel core with engineered corrugations and a polyethylene outer sleeve. R-15 to R-54 standard, plus the heat-pump-optimised R-32 HP. Available in 25 m, 50 m, 75 m, 100 m and long-spool coil lengths.
Entering production. The technical team will contact you about project timing.
Register interestAll sizes 316L marine-grade stainless. P1 fittings certified to 15 bar and up to 99 °C for potable water (Kiwa Reg 4 cert 2604733; 85 °C continuous), with mechanical capability to 150–180 °C for non-potable high-temperature applications such as solar thermal. Ridgelock fittings 10 bar / 85 °C. WRAS approved & KIWA Reg 4 certified.
Ridgelock™ fittings
Join Ridgeline corrugated 316L stainless water tube without a press tool. RidgeLock uses the body and nut of a WRAS-approved EN 1254 compression fitting; its complete sealing-ring assembly replaces the copper olive. Prepare and join the tube with a tube cutter, knife and spanners.
Available for R-15, R-22 and R-28. Certified maximum operating conditions: 10 bar and 85 °C under Kiwa Reg 4 certificate 2501716 revision (2), for the assemblies in its schedule. Check the current approvals for the selected connection.
Patent-pending sealing ring with engineered teeth that mechanically interlock with the Ridgeline tube’s corrugations. Drops into any EN 1254 compression fitting body in place of the copper olive.
Tube sizes: R-15 · R-22 · R-28
Bag of 10: O-15-10 · O-22-10 · O-28-10
Bag of 100: O-15-100 · O-22-100 · O-28-100
Source any WRAS-approved EN 1254 compression fitting from any UK merchant: straight unions, elbows, tees, reducing tees, end caps, stop ends, isolating valves. Replace the copper olive with a Ridgelock sealing ring. Done.
Why this works: Ridgelock uses standard EN 1254 fitting bodies and nuts; nothing proprietary except the sealing ring. Universal merchant availability, simple supply chain, fast install.
Working pressure: 10 bar at 85 °C. WRAS + KIWA Reg 4 approved when paired with a WRAS-approved EN 1254 fitting body.
