The flexible, durable Uponor AquaPEX plumbing system was able to provide the installing contractor with a solution that offered maximum productivity and efficiencies to help meet the construction schedule while also ensuring the best results for profitability potential. The ProPEX fitting system eliminated heat, open flame, glues, solvents, chemicals, and fire-watch requirements, providing extra safety for workers as well as additional cost savings compared to using an alternative piping system. To make a ProPEX connection, the installers simply cut the PEX-a pipe, added an expansion ring to the end of the pipe, expanded the pipe and ring with a battery-operated expansion tool, and inserted the fitting. As the pipe and ring contracted back down to their original diameter, it created a solid, strong, reliable connection to the fitting. And because this connection method required the pipe to be expanded first before inserting the fitting, it also eliminated the concern of dry-fit leaks on the jobsite. For the building owner, the Uponor AquaPEX plumbing system eliminated any concern of corrosion or scale buildup, providing peace of mind that the solution would offer residents with decades of consistent, reliable service.
