Quick and easy jointing technology for a flexible plastic pipe system
Plastic pipe fittings with Q&E technology
Innovative jointing technology of plastic pipe fittings with PE-Xa plastic pipes
Fast – Simple - Secure
The Uponor Q&E fitting is a tried-and-tested concept with over 500 million fittings already sold worldwide. The jointing concept relies on the unique elastic features of Uponor PE-Xa pipe to provide a joint that is stronger than the pipe itself. Uponor Q&E cold-expansion fittings make solid, permanent, manufactured connections without the need for torches, glues, solder, flux or gauges. The unique shape memory of Uponor PE-Xa piping forms a tight seal around the fitting creating a strong reliable connection within seconds!Uponor Q&E fittings are available in a range of high-performance plastic polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) and threaded brass fittings for pipe dimensions up to 75 mm. Uponor PE-Xa pipe can also be used with Uponor’s range of compression fittings.
