Saves Time― Long coils / fewer splices (up to 600 ft. without a connection)― Joints not required when changing direction or grade or when
avoiding existing features (rocks, gardens, buildings)― Trenches don’t need to be straight or level― Lighter, safer and easier to handle― Easier to pressure test
Our Solution Their Solution
12 April 2023 ©Uponor 6
Saves Money― Efficient delivery and shipping
(custom cut- to-length)― Fast and easy installation― No special tools required― Can be fished through
concrete or steel conduit― Long lengths and tight
bending radius ensures fewer (if any) joints, equating to reduced liability and warranty costs
12 April 2023 ©Uponor 7
Reduces Installation Steps― Less hardware and time to install (fewer future repairs)― Does not require expansion joints― Does not require the application of insulation after the
tubing/pipe installation
12 April 2023 ©Uponor 8
Ecoflex vs. Other Plastic Pre-insulated Pipes
― Superior insulation to protect against heat loss
― Tightest bend radius available― Produced in North America― Multiple stocking locations
throughout North America― Custom cut to length (for larger
jobs, an on-site un-coiler provided)
12 April 2023 ©Uponor 9
Sustainable― Promotes and enables energy efficient technologies
(example: district radiant heating and cooling)― Long-term performance (installed / tested globally for decades)― Waterproof to ensure insulation is not compromised― Manufactured with all non-corrosive materials― Long custom lengths / tight bending radius reduces scrap / materials― Aesthetics: Out-of-sight underground installations. Ability to install
easily around obstructions like rocks and trees preserves the site.
