The installation took less than half an house, which includes rolling out the pre insulated pipes, dragging it to the sub center, peeling off the case and installing the end cap. Cold weather usually means more difficult handling, but everything went smooth despite temperatures well below zero.
Rasmus Källström at Mälardalen Rör was one of the first installers in Sweden to install Ecoflex VIP pre insulated pipes.
"It was very to roll it out. There was a small obstable with some cables in the shaft, but it was easy to drag the pipes under the cables, since the VIP-pipes has a significantly smaller case. It also went fast to connect it to the system inside the house, and I had no issues doing it myself. The good thing about Ecoflex VIP is that is not that stiff compared to other pre insulated pipes, and I needed no special tools, so the installation only took about twenty minutes."

“Uponor Construction Services designed the system, and we simply installed their design,” said Dale Hicks of Dale Hicks and Associates, LLC. “They have been of immeasurable service to us. I refer Uponor PEX to colleagues all the time.”
All 24 homes in the development feature Uponor AquaPEX® plumbing systems and AquaSAFE™ fire sprinkler systems with ProPEX® fittings in ½" to 1½" sizes. The multipurpose fire sprinkler systems seamlessly integrate into the home’s cold-water plumbing system, which increases the speed of installation and provides homeowners with greater peace of mind.
“Weber Hill Villas is just our latest development, and we will apply a lifetime of work, knowledge and innovation to make it truly world class,” explained Hicks.
