Flexible plastic pipe system

Plastic pipes with long term durable performance

Flexible plastic pipe system

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.

Uponor Quick & Easy – Connecting pipes within seconds, saving time and installation costs

After cutting the pipe, put Q&E ring on it and expand the pipe end
