Uponor is promoting PP-RCT as an additional solution in a number of fields, including hydronics.

Radiant technology can range from common applications like bathroom floors and driveway installations to creative projects.

The difference between the systems of old and modern hydronic systems lies in technological and installation upgrades.

What do a platform in Minnesota, a football field in Colorado, and a pool complex in Texas have in common? They get slippery when wet. And they use radiant heating.

An 1871 barn in Pennsylvania is converted into a family home utilizing hydronic radiant heating and geothermal cooling.

The old two-pipe, fan-coil system was struggling to keep up with cooling demand during Atlanta’s hot summers. So it was decided that the old fan-coil system would be replaced with water-source heat pumps, sized to handle the building’s 500- to 600-ton cooling demand.

Tools were whirring at the Uponor booth throughout the AHR Expo, as Daniel Worm kept busy demonstrating the company’s new transition fittings. Booth visitors looked on as he expanded a plastic pipe and, using the newly launched Uponor ProPEX LF Brass Copper Press Adapters and the M18 ProPEX Expansion Tool from Milwaukee Tools, created a PEX-to-copper transition — without the use of a flame.

Uponor North America won the Project of the Year award from the Economic Development Association of Minnesota for the construction of the company’s new PEX manufacturing plant in Hutchinson, Minnesota.

The Uponor booth was organized in such a way that its design was able to display the company’s message and brand of being a complete solutions provider.
