Pre-insulated pipe system Flexibility leads to improved cost-efficiency

Added value from Uponor


Flexibility means more costefficiency Based on the Uponor PE-Xa pipe, the pre-insulated range is a durable distribution system that allows liquid to be transfered both inside and outside a building with minimal temperature differentiation. The system also comprises a complete range of products for heating as well as hot and cold water supplies. Its material properties involve long service life. The pipes with its lowweight and high flexibility can be installed easily and quickly, even over obstacles and round corners. Uponor PE-Xa pipe material with outstanding features The main part of the system with pre-insulated pipes are Uponor PE-Xa pipes which are high-pressure crosslinked. Therefore they are flexible and have a good abrasion resistance to tought onsite conditions. Uponor PE-Xa pipes withstand high pressure and temperature changes. The pipe provides a maximum of safety and reliability and has been displayed for more than 30 years in a continously ongoing long-term test.

Your key benefits Easy to handle Excellent flexibility allows to install around any obstacles No need for special tools for assembly Up to 200m connection-free installation in one length Corrosion-resistant Incrustation-free medium pipe ensures 50 years service time Rapid on-site-construction progress Short assembly times

Easy handling thanks to excellent flexibility: not only when the pipe is rolled out into the trench but also when making house lead-ins - product advantages much welcomed by our customers.
