With the average person in the United States using up to 70 gallons of water every day and freshwater resources continuing to diminish, graywater systems are a smart plumbing option for homes to help lower environmental impacts and save thousands of gallons of potable water annually.

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

An 18-story resort and convention center in Chula Vista, Calif., needed a streamlined HVAC piping solution that ensured installation efficiency. Control Air Enterprises was responsible for the wet- and dry-side HVAC systems. They selected Uponor Prefabricated PEX Water Risers, and leveraged Uponor Prefabrication Services which simplified the installation and maximized labor savings.

At 670 feet in height, the tower at 321 West Sixth Street in Austin, Texas, is the second-largest high rise in the city’s central business district. For a project of this scale, 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.

From residential homes to large commercial spaces, Uponor delivers trusted solutions for moving water where it matters most.
