Learn how unbonded slip systems (Ecoflex) offer advantages over bonded polyurethane (PURR) foam systems, including installation and performance.
Ecoflex potable PEX twin 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

Pre-insulated Wirsbo hePEX™ complies with the most recent versions of ASHRAE 90.1 and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The product is available with ½" to 1½" oxygen-barrier PEX-a service pipe covered in ½" to 1½" 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 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 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. 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
