Vertical Solutions
PiPe 65 and PiPe 75
Suitable for a two-storey house, PiPe 65 is a vertical shower drain heat recovery solution adaptable to shower trays, linear drains or baths. The vertical pipe has a flow drainage of up to 12.5 L/min and is able to deliver energy savings of up to 75%.
Heat transfers from the shower’s hot waste water to the incoming cold mains supply. This heated water can be directed either to the shower tap, the water heater or both.



In this example, 40°C hot water transfers up to 80% of its heat to the incoming 10°C cold water from the mains.

Layout possibilities
Zypho transfers heat from outgoing waste water to incoming cold water from the main water supply. The heated cold water can be connected in one of three ways:
