Ecoflex potable PEX plus coils
Ecoflex potable PEX plus is a pre-insulated pipe with a heat trace wire applied on the pipe. This product features a self-regulating heat trace wire with a maximum output of 5W/ft. to keep the water from freezing. The Uponor AquaPEX service pipe in Ecoflex potable plus piping is manufactured by the Engel-method (PEX-a) process and is listed to ASTM F876 and F877. The pipe is surrounded by multi-layer, closed-cell, PEX-foam insulation and a water-resistant, corrugated HDPE jacket, making it ideal for direct-burial applications. Note: Use ProPEX fittings. Codes: UPC, IPC, NSPC, NPC of Canada, National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code Part I Manufacturing standards: ASTM F876, ASTM F877, CSA B137.5, ASTM 1960, NSF/ANSI Standard 41, NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Product listings: cNSFus-pw, PEX 5106, CSA C22.2 No 130-03 (R2012), ANSI/IEEE 515-2011

Pre-insulated Uponor AquaPEX coils
Pre-insulated Uponor AquaPEX® complies with the most recent versions of ASHRAE 90.1 and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The product is available with ½" to 1¼" PEX-a service pipe covered in ½" or 1" insulation. The insulation features manufactured-sealed seams running the entire length of the pipe for added convenience and system performance. Check with local code authorities regarding energy-code requirements for specific applications.
Ecoflex potable HDPE coils
Ecoflex potable HDPE pipes feature high-density polyethylene (HDPE) service pipes in ASTM sizes. It is an economical solution for pre-insulated distribution for chilled-water, cooling and low-temperature heating applications. The HDPE service pipe has no oxygen barrier on it and is manufactured in accordance with PE 3408 or PE 3608 or PE 4710, ASTM D3035 or F714 C3, AWWA C901 or C906, and NSF-61 or NSF-pw. The pipe is surrounded by multi-layer, closed-cell, PEX-foam insulation and a water-resistant, corrugated HDPE jacket, making it ideal for direct-burial applications. Temperature and pressure ratings:
- 140°F (60°C) at 80psi
- 120°F (48.9°C) at 101psi
- 100°F (37.8°C) at 125psi
- 73°F (22.8°C) at 160psi
Ecoflex thermal single coils
Ecoflex thermal single pipes are designed for fluid transfer in heating and cooling applications. The Wirsbo hePEX service pipe in Ecoflex thermal single piping is manufactured by the Engel-method (PEX-a) process and is listed to ASTM F876 and F877. An oxygen-diffusion barrier extruded onto the service pipe dramatically reduces the amount of oxygen molecules that can migrate through the tubing wall. This oxygen-diffusion barrier protects ferrous components within the fluid pathway from corrosion. The pipe is surrounded by multi-layer, closed-cell, PEX-foam insulation and a water-resistant, corrugated HDPE jacket, making it ideal for direct-burial applications. Note: Use ProPEX fittings up to 3" or WIPEX fittings for the whole range. Manufacturing standards: ASTM F876, ASTM F877, CSA B137.5 Product listings: cNSFus-rfh, cNSFus-pw, PEX 5106
