Uponor, a leading supplier for plumbing, fire safety and radiant systems, introduces Pre-insulated AquaPEX^® tubing for residential and commercial plumbing applications. This pre-insulated product offers all the benefits of AquaPEX polyethylene (PEX) tubing — flexible, durable, corrosion-resistant — with a layer of ½" PEX-foam insulation surrounding the tubing to insulate potable-water lines and meet national, state and local energy-code requirements.

“Not only does Pre-insulated AquaPEX provide a green, sustainable solution for plumbing systems, but it also saves on installation costs and time,” says Jayson Drake, senior product manager at Uponor. “In fact, according to RS Means Construction Data, Pre-insulated AquaPEX can save up to 37% on installation costs compared with the two-step installation and insulation process.”
