Advantages with Uponor residential and commercial solutions
Historic Remodels in a Growing City
In a Pittsburgh suburb, developers are breathing new life into a historic school, convent, and chapel. With city preservation guidelines requiring the retention of architectural features, such as stained-glass windows, wood floors, and hallway configurations, the plumbing contractor needed a solution to transform the existing spaces into 148 apartments with modern multifamily water demands, including kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry
321 West Sixth Street, Austin, TX
The second-largest high rise in Austin's central business district required a plumbing solution that delivered installation speed and unmatched quality. Austin-based The Porter Company chose Uponor PEX-a and Kitting Services to decrease overall installation time, speed up the planning process, and facilitate quicker construction start times.

Developed by Uponor, this new solution takes the guesswork and freelancing out of piping installations. Each kit, which includes all the needed ProPEX® fittings, adapters, valves, and rings, is delivered to the job site — one kit per room or apartment — along with a material list and an isometric layout for the installer to follow, helping to minimize mistakes and maximize efficiency.

PEX Drives Efficient In-Slab High-Rise Install
ACCO Engineered Systems sought a plumbing solution that could be installed in a concrete slab to allow for higher ceilings in the residential units. This type of installation had never been done before by any other plumbing contractor in the city of Los Angeles. Going into the project, they knew they had a tight installation timeline of plumbing one 16-unit floor per week and needed a system that facilitated a quick installation while maintaining reliability. The plumbing subcontractor, ACCO, also wanted a strong product warranty for added confidence. They have a long history record and are well versed in high-rise installations, so they wanted a brand that offered support throughout the entire construction cycle to help ensure a smooth installation from start to finish.
