Uponor has re-launched its PEX pipe after a development process it hopes will increase its appeal to tradesmen. Included in the re-launch is an improved fitting system that is said to ensure the PEX ring cannot slip down the pipe, an auto rotating expander tool, a new range of service valves and brass fittings. In addition the range will also benefit from an additional 12mm diameter size suitable for installation within the recesses of walls. The fitting system now supports inventive tooling head which fits onto the existing guns and eliminates the need for rotating pipe which should make working in tight spaces easier.
