Installation OXYGEN DIFFUSION BARRIER This barrier provides added protection against corrosion for the various ferrous components of a heating system. Oxygen molecules will penetrate through the tubing wall and into the circulating water of a “closed” system. The amount of oxygen passing through the tubing wall and into the system is well known for all materials and increases with temperature. -
