The number ofc<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong>s to be made <strong>on</strong> site is significantly reduced.Successful projects with Energy Suppliers in TheNetherl<strong>and</strong>s are c<strong>on</strong>firming the advantages of this newc<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> soluti<strong>on</strong>.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTREFERENCES[1] EN 15632 <strong>District</strong> heating pipes, Pre-insulatedflexible pipe systems, Requirements <strong>and</strong> testmethods[2] Dipl.
