Flexible PEX-a product
Flexible PEX-a product minimizes links, reduces kinking, and allows for kink repairability for install
The highly flexible PEX-a product minimizes connections, reduces kinking, and allows for kink repairability for faster installs, less time in trenches, improved efficiencies, and reduced jobsite waste.
“We have a strong legacy of providing our customers with quality, reliable, polymer piping solutions that bring greater efficiencies and performance in plumbing, heating, and cooling applications,” says Anna Picchetti, vice president of Marketing and Strategy at GF Building Flow Solutions Americas.
Benefits of PEX-a
Picchetti added: “Launching Uponor ServicePEX extends our solutions even further to provide the benefits of PEX-a from the water main to the home.”
The pipe is designed and manufactured to withstand the rigors of installation, resisting damage from impact and abrasion during backfilling and trench compaction. Plus, it is extremely resilient in freezing conditions and resists corrosion, rust, scale buildup, and stress cracking for long-lasting, reliable service.
