Uponor Aqua Pipe Natural PN6 20x1.9 Pipe - 120 Metre Roll

The Uponor Aqua Pipe natural PN6 20x1.9, reference 1038354, is an essential component of the Uponor system for domestic hot and cold water (DHW) installations. Made from cross-linked polyethylene (PEX-a) using the Engel process, this pipe guarantees superior resistance and long-lasting durability in all types of plumbing applications. This 120-metre roll is designed to provide flexibility and ease of installation, reducing the time and effort required to achieve an efficient and safe installation.

The cross-linking process used in the manufacture of this pipe allows polymer chains to connect in a three-dimensional network through chemical bonds. This unique structure makes the material highly resistant to heat, pressure, and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for both cold and hot water distribution. Furthermore, this cross-linking prevents the polyethylene from melting or dissolving, significantly increasing the pipe's durability in high-use applications.

Uponor Aqua Pipes are renowned for their ability to absorb thermal expansion, preventing the formation of cracks and fissures even when used under high-temperature conditions or thermal fluctuations. This feature is crucial for ensuring the longevity of the system, especially in domestic hot water installations where temperature changes can cause stress on the pipes.

Another notable benefit of Uponor Aqua Pipes is that they are unaffected by construction materials or additives used in concrete, ensuring that their integrity remains intact throughout their lifecycle, regardless of the installation environment. This resistance to surrounding materials and their ability to prevent thermal expansion make the Aqua Pipe PN6 20x1.9 ideal for a wide range of applications, from residential to commercial.

Main features of the Uponor Aqua Pipe PN6 20x1.9 - 120-metre roll:
