Learn how unbonded slip systems (Ecoflex) offer advantages over bonded polyurethane (PURR) foam systems, including installation and performance.
Ecoflex potable PEX single pipes are designed for potable-water distribution applications. The Uponor AquaPEX service pipes in Ecoflex potable PEX piping are manufactured by the Engel-method (PEX-a) process and are 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 Manufacturing standards: ASTM F876, ASTM F877, CSA B137.5, NSF/ANSI Standard 14, NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Product listings: cNSFus-pw, PEX 5106

Design and installation manual for Uponor pre-insulated pipe systems. Describes the design and installation process for pre-insulated pipe systems featuring Ecoflex products.
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
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
Ecoflex thermal twin pipes are designed for fluid transfer in heating and cooling applications. The Wirsbo hePEX service pipes in Ecoflex thermal twin piping are manufactured by the Engel-method (PEX-a) process and are 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.

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.
