The SR.HydroPex™ panels manufactured by Styro Rail Inc. are composed of type 2 [200 series] expanded polystyrene [EPS] rigid insulation or type 3 [300 to 600 series]. A honeycomb-layout creates a spacing with intervals of 76 mm [3''] for the placement of the pipes. The system is compatible with all pipes dimensions: 13 mm [1/2''], 16 mm [5/8''], 20 mm [3/4''] and 25 mm [1''].
