Spotlight on Uponor

For more than 40 years, Uponor has been the leader in PEX plumbing, fire safety, radiant heating/cooling, hydronic piping and pre-insulated piping systems for single-family, multifamily and commercial structures around the world. The core of Uponor systems feature flexible, durable and cost-effective crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing and ProPEX® expansion fittings that are ideal for use in new construction, remodel and retrofit applications, providing solutions that conserve energy and water, reduce heating and cooling costs, support sustainable building practices and provide superior performance.

The hydronic radiant heating and cooling system in the River Vine project features Uponor’s Wirsbo hePEX™ tubing and TruFLOW™ brass manifolds to effectively deliver maintenance-free indoor comfort year-round. Ideal for local-heat distribution, the in-floor pipe system balances invisible comfort with energy efficiency, providing an environmentally friendly solution for multi-zone climate control.

 

“When tubing is installed underneath a concrete floor, you want to make sure it’s a superior quality product that will hold up to constant use and perform consistently over time. Uponor’s PEX tubing is one of the most advanced materials available for an in-floor radiant heating and cooling system—a flexible, high performance alternative to PVC, CPVC and copper tubing that has undergone rigorous testing and proven to be reliable, durable and cost-effective for long-term use.”
