Uponor PE-Xa – material with outstanding features
Uponor - partnering with professionals
Uponor keeps its promises
People care more and more about the environment in which they live and work: whether it is commercial buildings, private residences or open and public spaces. Apart from that, standards and styles change and so do people’s expectations. In order to find the right systems and services to meet those demands, it becomes increasingly important to know where to go and whom to trust!
With Uponor, you partner with professionals who know how to satisfy your demands. Because we ’ve always been working closely together with our partners and customers, we know about their needs. We want to give you more and we have to offer something special – everything to help you enjoy more success.
In an increasingly complex world, we shall always be the smarter choice.
The Uponor pe-Xa pipe system – sophisticated technology for the long run
Our customers profit from convenient and reliable solutions for a wide range of installations. All Uponor products are available in the long-term. Top quality, outstanding services and environmental friendliness are key objectives in the development process. The system consists of in-house produced PE-Xa pipes and fittings that fit perfectly together. The system is complimented by the necessary accessories and a sophisticated tools program – everything from one single source.
competence from the pioneers of plastic – the results of more than 3 decades of experience
Our expertise in the field of PE-Xa is the result of decades of experience. We have been producing PE-Xa pipes for more than 35 years now. From the beginnings until today, our output has topped the mark of 2.5 billion meters of PE-Xa pipes. This is a record that tells its own tale.
Flexible Uponor pe-Xa pipes
What is the difference between Uponor Pe-Xa pipes and conventional PE-X pipes? It ’s the memory and shrink-back effect of the PE-Xa material. After bending or expanding the pipe goes back to the original location.
The Uponor PE-Xa pipes are high-pressure crosslinked which reaches the highest linking factor of all crosslink-ing methods.
Therefore they are flexible and have a good abrasion resistance to tough onsite conditions. Uponor pipes withstand high pressure and temperature changes. They can be delivered with and without conduits, but the use in conduits has many advantages. In case someone drills into the pipe, the assembly time is significantly reduced when using a conduit. The pipe itself is also protected against damages, while the conduit also works as insu-lation and therefore reduces heat loss.
Special structure of the molecules for outstanding material features
During the production process of Uponor PE-Xa pipes mole cules with high density are linked together creating a three-dimensional network. Bodycote Polymer AB Sweden, an independent testing institute, has carried out pressure testing on more than 3,000 specimen for Uponor since 1973, which are still running. The condi-tions of the temperature cycling test are as follows: 15 minutes at 20 °C, then change to 95 °C water for 15 minutes and vice-versa. No problems whatsoever have occured so far. Due to the crosslinking process, the Uponor PE-Xa pipes sustain their excellent thermal and mechanical features which make it the first choice for tap water and radiator connection installations.
There is no substitute for experience and expertise
The Uponor PE-Xa pipes with their exceptional charac-teristics have been displayed for more than 30 years in a continuously ongoing long-term test.
The pipe provides a maximum of safety and reliability and reduces the maintenance costs to a minimum.

Quick & Easy connection only with Uponor PE-Xa pipes
patented and reliable technology
The outstanding material characteristics of Uponor PE-Xa pipes also have a major bearing on the connec-tion techniques used. Our simple but ingenious system lets you produce pressure-sealed, durable joints in just 25 seconds. Our innovation makes use of the shrinking back effect, which is only valid for crosslinked PE-Xa pipes. The pipe ends are fitted with a Q&E ring, ex-panded and then pushed onto a special system fitting made of metal or the advanced PPSU (polyphenylsul-fone) plastic material. The material then “remembers” the shape it had before being widened, and contracts back to its original form. This provides a long-term seal between the pipe and the fitting. The connection be-comes firm and immovable after just a few seconds at room temperature.
modern fitting materials
We are offering most modern system technology with the Uponor PPSU fitting. This fitting is made of ad-vanced polyphenylsulfone plastic material. High tem-perature and pressure resistance, high strength and suitability for its use with particularly aggressive water are the key advantages of the Uponor PPSU fitting. Nowadays we offer also PPSU fittings with male and female thread as well as PPSU manifolds with male thread. Furthermore, our new PPSU fittings with swivel nut in dimensions 16 to 25 mm for the connection to manifolds, pumps etc. are now available. In general PPSU material is also used for medical purposes to sani-tise medical appliances. For all our Uponor Quick & Easy threaded metal fittings as well as Uponor clamp fittings, special brass alloys are used.
Only the best materials and strict quality control for particular safety and reliability
connection with Quick & easy from 16 up to 63 mm
Our Quick & Easy fittings made of PPSU are now avail-able for all sizes from 16 up to 63 mm.
The threaded metal fittings are made of a brass alloy CW614N. The chemical composition is according to EN (European norm) 12164:1998. Forged parts are made of brass alloy CW617N. The chemical composition is according to EN 12165:1998.
connection with Uponor clamp fittings from 25 up to 110 mm
The Uponor clamp fittings for dimension 25 up to 110 mm are made of dezincification resistant brass. The modular system consists of a basic body and individual connection parts. The design of the outer sleeve allows for a good grip with even force around the pipe, while the inner sleeve with its O-ring assures a good tight seal. These features allow an easy installation.

High quality and recyclable raw materials
It is a matter of common knowledge that the cheapest solution does not always bring the most valuable results. For this reason, we have decided to draw more atten-tion to life cycle costs.
Carefully selected raw materials are the basis for best-performing finished products. In addition to that, we firmly believe that we share responsibility for the evironmental effects of our operations. Therefore, we only use materials that can easily be put back into the production process. And this applies to our PE-Xa pipes as well as to our brass fittings.
The advantages are various: Uponor PE-Xa pipes are not only state-of-the-art technology, but they are also pro-duced according to environmentally sound principles.
Highest hygienic standards for clean drinking water
Having clean drinking water at your disposal should always be a matter of trust. At Uponor, we do our very best to have our share in this sensitive area.
The PE-Xa pipes as well as the fitting system and in-stallation components that leave our plants meet the highest hygienic standards. Moreover, the superior properties of the PE-Xa materials assure perfect resist-ance of the pipes to corrosion and incrustation.
Uponor quality control
We understand an elaborate system of quality manage-ment to be an essential and integral part of our success throughout the world. When we talk about the durabil-ity and the safety of our pipe systems, we know that we can keep these promises. Before our products are marketed, they undergo a process of thorough inhouse testing.
Additionally, our products are tested by independent testing institutes and meet the strict quality require-ments as set up by various certification institutes.

Tap water installation with PE-Xa pipes ...
a clean solution
Uponor PE-Xa pipes offer a unique set of qualities that make them ideal for use in drinking-water installa-tions. Apart from their outstanding mechanical strength performance, their main advantage lies in their high degree of temperature resist-ance, which makes PE-Xa pipes also suitable for use in hot-water applications. This is in addition to the smooth walls, which offer less resist-ance to the flowing water and thus minimises the possibility of a pres-sure drop in the system. This smooth surface prevents the formation of deposits inside the pipe.

Tee installation
The well known traditional system is suitable also for concealed instal-lation of tap water pipes. With the comprehensive range of Uponor Quick & Easy fittings, the quantity of pipes can be reduced compared to other installation methods.
manifold installation
The basic prinicple of the manifold system is to provide joint free pipe installations from the manifold to each tap or outlet in order to eleminate variations in pressure and flow. This allows for isolated pipe installations, if required, minimises joints and centralises all connec-tions in an accessible point. In addition the manifold system is well suited for the Uponor PE-Xa pipe in pipe sytem with conduits. This leads to an increased protection against water damage and meets require-ments for pipe replacement e.g. in case the pipe has been drilled into.

oxygen diffusion tight – but of course!
In order to prevent corrosion of the heating system and fittings, Uponor eval PE-Xa pipes are coated with an EVOH resin. This additional plastic layer prevents the diffusion of oxygen into the hot-water circuit. The barrier layer has been specially designed to meet the requirements of the Uponor Quick & Easy connection system. Uponor eval PE-Xa pipes are ideal to connect radiators and other components to the heating system. The Uponor product range for radiator connection includes the Uponor Quick & Easy connection system, the approved and tested Uponor pipe-in-pipe system and bending supports up to the manifolds.
Take advantage of an unique solution for a reliable con-nection from the boiler to the radiator.
…safety and reliability included
Tee installation
The well known and traditional system with the wide range of Uponor Quick & Easy tees allows the instal-lation for different kinds and connections of radiators. Less pipes are needed for flexible connections.
manifold installation
The pipes are connected from the manifold to the radiator using the same pipe dimension thus reducing the number of fittings needed. This eliminates variations in pressure and flow, and guarantees together with the conduit as pipe in pipe system the exchangeability of the pipe. If you prefer the fittings not to be embedded in the screed the manifold installation presents an ideal solution.
