  Uponor’s Multi-layer
Composite (MLC) pipe offers the ideal solution for your plumbing installation -
both for one-family homes and large projects. This is taken care of by the proven
Uponor’s MLC pipe, the sophisticated fitting technology and the wide range of accessories.
The comprehensive range of products enables complete installation with only one
system. Installation with Uponor 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 pipe diameters are available from 12mm to 32mm
in coils, and 16mm to 110mm in 3 or 5m straight lengths.
The system is extremely durable and safe, as certified by WRAS, and verified in
numerous international tests and approvals. Uponor MLC pipes are rated to 95°C and
have a maximum pressure temperature rating of 10 bar. Infact, Uponor MLC pipes far
exceed the generally required German DVGW standard of 70°C/10 bar/50 years. A range
of clever tools rounds off the Uponor MLC pipe system: from pipe cutters to beveling
tools through to pressing tools.
 A large
range of Uponor PEX pipes and fittings are available for hot and cold plumbing systems.
Uponor PEX pipes are available in dimensions o.d. 15mm up to o.d. 110mm. All pipes
can be supplied in coils or in straight lengths - please ask for further details.
 Since Uponor PEX pipes are installed all around the world, the pipes are tested
and approved by numerous approvals bodies. In the UK, Uponor pipes are WRAS approved.
The Uponor -radiPEX system is also BBA approved. A large selection of pipes are
available to meet the toughest of installation requirements. Pipe are rated either
6 bar - 95°C or 10 bar - 95°C.
Applications
Manifold Plumbing
 Uponor Multi-layer Composite
Pipe
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’s 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 installations systems
and fixtures.
 Uponor PEX Pipe
Uponor’s PEX manifold system provides 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 floors or 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.
Conventional Plumbing
Uponor Multi-layer Composite Pipe
The MLC pipe range of plumbing products can be used for drinking water installations
of all sizes. An extensive range of connectors enables the system to be connected
to all standard on-wall installation systems and fixtures.
Uponor MLC pipe system has been designed for fast and reliable installation - saving
valuable installation time. The system is extremely durable and safe, as certified
by the German DVGW and SKZ and verified in numerous international tests and approvals.
Uponor PEX Pipe
The Uponor PEX System can be installed in the same fashion as a traditional “Tee”
system using the various range of PEX fittings.
The advantage with this installation method is that it uses less piping than the
manifold system. However, the traditional method has some inherent disadvantages
that should be taken into consideration. There are more joints than with the manifold
system and these are often inaccessible within the floors or walls. There are temperature
and pressure variations due to the fact that one pipe has more than one draw-off
point. The design work is more complicated, as most engineers wish to reduce the
pipe diameter, from the beginning of the system to the end, which is why more careful
calculations are needed to determine the various pipe sizes.
