As part of the Uponor Prefabrication Services offering, GF has launched Uponor Prefabricated PEX Water Risers to maximize labor productivity and accuracy for domestic water and hydronic distribution piping systems in commercial construction projects. 

With up to half an installer’s time lost to material handling and ineffective activities, finding a solution to allow more hours dedicated to actual installation time is critical for commercial construction projects. To meet this need, GF is expanding the Uponor Kitting Services offering with two separate options to maximize installation efficiencies and resources while accommodating various budgets and applications. 

GF introduces GF Flow Symposium, a flagship customer event designed to address today’s biggest challenges across commercial, infrastructure and industrial markets. This event brings together visionaries, experts and customers to explore the future of system solutions that help them build faster, smarter and more sustainably.
