Case study | Florida mechanical contractor cuts installation costs by 70% with prefabricated hydronic piping system.

Tampa-based Colwill Engineering smoothly combines Uponor’s new pipe prefabrication services with timely job-site deliveries from local distributor Winsupply to sharply reduce installation time and crew size on prestigious Society Orlando high-rise apartment construction project.

When Jason Gaspard, owner and project manager at Select Mechanical Services, was looking to finish the basement of his Maple Grove, MN, home, he knew he wanted radiant heating in the space. He had heard about the new Uponor Xpress Trak radiant panel system and decided that was the best installation method for the job.

ProPEX expansion fittings leverage the thermal and elastic shape memory of Uponor AquaPEX® and Wirsbo hePEX™ pipe to make fast, reliable connections that grow stronger over time.

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.
