GF Launches Uponor Prefabricated PEX Water Risers
Apple Valley, Minn., USA — Mar. 25, 2026 — 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 labor inefficiencies and rework being two of the biggest issues affecting the industry, offsite construction continues to be the best solution. Uponor Prefabricated PEX Water Risers combine comprehensive design assistance, expertly fabricated assemblies, and just-in-time shipments to meet construction schedules, helping projects stay on budget and on track.
“These Prefabricated PEX Water Risers have the potential to reduce field connections by up to 75%,” says Anna Picchetti, VP of Marketing and Strategy at GF Building Flow Solutions Americas. “This solution also helps mitigate risk with improved installation accuracy and consistency while also providing increased sustainability with less jobsite waste.”
Trained in-house professionals build the prefabricated risers to customers’ specifications using durable, reliable Uponor PEX-a pipe and trusted ASTM F1960 ProPEX® fittings and valves. The Prefabrication Services team create the manufactured product using established quality-control procedures, which include expert knowledge in tool usage, visual material inspections, tolerance checks, and batch inspections of finished goods.
GF backs the workmanship of the prefabricated risers with a 10-year transferable limited warranty along with a 25-year transferable limited warranty on the Uponor PEX-a pipe, ProPEX rings, and ProPEX fittings when installed as a system.
