 Uponor
Multi-layer Composite Pipe
One system has become the popular choice for many types of installations:
Uponor’s multi-layer composite pipe. With 55 million metres, Our MLC pipe is
the market leader in this segment of piping systems. The easy, safe and fast
installation as well as the suitability of the pipe for all types of plumbing
installations are the basis of our system. The wide range of fittings - the
result of our own R&D - in various dimensions, made of plastic or metal, as
press or compression version, completes the installation system.
Uponor Plumbing combines the unique benefits of it’s Multi-layer Composite pipe
with a range of fittings and manifolds. The pipe has an inner layer of
Polyetheylene - Raised Temperature (PE-RT), a middle layer of overlapped welded
aluminium and finally a further outer layer of PE-RT. The aluminium layer is an
oxygen diffusion barrier, whilst also allowing the pipe to be flexible yet
formstable.
 Uponor PEX Pipe
The basic principle of the Uponor manifold system is to provide joint free pipe
runs from a centrally positioned manifold to each radiator valve or tap or
water outlet. The system can be designed with one single pipe dimension from
the manifold to the draw-off point, which simplifies design and installation
work. With joints only at the manifold and the radiator/taps, the risk of
leakage from joints is considerably reduced and there are no connections within
the walls. Since also there are no other draw-off points on the same pipe,
pressure and temperature variations are minimal when taps are turned on and
off. Small pipe diameters and fewer fittings save on installation time and
labour costs.
Our PEX pipe is 5-layer pipe with a chemically cross-linked polyethylene PEX
base pipe for long-term strength and performance at high temperature. The pipe
is coated with four layers, including an integral barrier layer to inhibit
oxygen diffusion, an opaque layer to inhibit UV penetration, and a protective
PEX outer layer to give a tough and reliable construction.
Designed, to meet the requirements of BS7291 Class S, Uponor’s PEX pipe is
available in 15mm, 22mm and 28mm dimensions.
Conventional Plumbing
Uponor Multi-layer Composite Pipe
Uponors MLC pipe range of plumbing products can be used for drinking water
installations of all sizes. A range of special products is available for all
applications in old and new buildings. An extensive range of connectors enables
the system to be connected to all standard on-wall installation systems and
fixtures.
The comprehensive range of products enables complete installation from the
riser to the fixture with only one system. Installation with our MLC pipe is
extremely economical and easy; all components are designed to fit perfectly.
The dimensional stability of the pipe and low heat expansion make only a few
fixing points necessary – a practical advantage for fast installation. A range
of clever tools rounds off the MLC pipe system: from pipe cutters to bevelling
tools through to pressing tools.
Uponor PEX Pipe
Uponor PEX pipe has its own unique fitting solution and both pipe and fittings
are available in dimensions 15, 22 and 28mm. A PEX ring is fitted over the
pipe, both the pipe and ring are slowly expanded and pushed onto a Uponor PEX
fitting. The pipe and ring then shrink back to their original positions
creating a seal between the pipe and fitting. Uponor PEX pipe is fully
compatible with EN 1254 compression fittings in UK sizes offering complete
choice and integration with other systems, simply insert the pipe support and
make your connection. Uponor plumbing systems are developed and manufactured to
meet all relevant national and international standards and are complemented by
a range of specially designed fittings to meet the requirements of both
specifier and installer.
