Fire Safety Systems

 

 

Cost-effective

An upgrade option that saves you money and can reduce your insurance rates.

Durable

Uponor PEX-a tubing resists corrosion. Without soldered joints, it's virtually leak-proof.

Faster

Sprinklers put out most fires in seconds, before the fire department arrives and before there's major damage.

Guaranteed

The tubing behind the AQUASAFE System comes with a 25-year limited warranty when installed by an r-trained professional.

Reliable

Sprinklers respond to heat not smoke, and draw water from your main cold water line. The odds of a malfunction are just one in 16 million.

Safer

While smoke detectors alone increase survival rates by 50%, adding sprinklers increases that to 97%.

Clean

Doesn't spew dust, pollutants and allergens into the air.

Comfortable

Reaches every corner of the house. Even takes the chill out of kitchen, bathroom and lower level floors.

Economical

Could reduce your heating bill dramatically. And saving energy is good for the environment.

Guaranteed

When installed by an Uponor-trained professional the Uponor Radiant Heating System is guaranteed for 30 years.

Practical

Uponor radiant floor heating concentrates the heat near the floor where you and your family can benefit from it.

Versatile

Works with any kind of floor covering. Ideal for installations in concrete slabs: lower levels, basements and garages

In planning their 7,400-square-foot dream home in Lewiston, Idaho, the Armstrong family made energy efficiency a top priority. Also, because of one family member’s health problems, they sought to minimize toxins and pollutants, including those arising from materials used to build their home. With the help of engineering and technical consultant John Palecek and his company, Smart Solutions Inc. of Kamiah, Idaho, the Armstrongs’ new home was designed to be at least 75 percent more energy-efficient than homes built to the 1993 Model Energy Code benchmark. This is just one of the reasons the two-story, 23-room structure recently earned the grand prize in the first annual Uponor Dream Home Competition.

 

The Climate C?ntrol™ Multifunction Controller is a hydronic controller that offers a dramatically streamlined, less time-intensive approach to installing controls for radiant heating and cooling systems. Instead of creating specific individual controls for domestic hot water, mixing, snowmelt, boiler staging and zone pumping, all of these and other functionalities can now be handled by this single, easy-to-use, programmable control.

The Climate C?ntrol Multifunction Controller eliminates the need for multiple controls on a wall and all the accompanying wiring complexity, reducing product costs as well as design and installation time.

Designed to replace the Uponor pro Series line of temperature controls, the controller features simple, plug-and-play Cat5 wiring for sensors and connection boxes, rather than conventional multi-strand thermostat wire. As a result, it is also more consistent with current home-installation practices.

 

and Benefits

  Provides one interface for multiple manifolds   Simplifies system design and installation   Plug-and-play design means no wiring   Saves up to one-third the installation time   Can be upgraded in the field without removing the control from the system   Easily allows equipment and technology adaptations

 

Installation Considerations

The Climate C?ntrol Multifunction Controller measures 13"H x 9½"W x 1½"D, and includes eight generic input and eight generic output connection points. To set up a particular control, the installer simply keystrokes the needed functionality into the five-button, four-line, 16-character display on the front of the unit.

Additionally, a portable data stick for storing upgrades and system configurations is also available. This allows the same functionalities to be quickly and easily loaded onto other systems, saving valuable programming time.

The Pioneer in Non-Stagnant, Multi-purpose Systems

In 1996, Uponor began installing its AQUASAFE® Network system — the industry’s first non-stagnant, multi-purpose plumbing and fire safety system, forever revolutionizing the way residential sprinkler systems were installed and utilized.

The AQUASAFE system combines the home’s potable cold-water plumbing system with the fire safety system, which provides several key benefits. It verifies water is available each time a cold-water plumbing fixture is used, eliminating the problem of stagnant water as well as the need for check valves and backflow preventers.

Additionally, combining both the plumbing and fire safety systems means only one contractor for both systems, saving valuable time and construction scheduling hassles.

 

Innovative Design for Peace of Mind

The Network system features Reliable® brand fire sprinklers and sprinkler fittings — a company with over 90 years of dedication to the fire protection industry. The four-port, stainless-steel sprinkler fittings are connected to ½" AQUAPEX® tubing using Uponor’s unique ProPEX® connection method. The ProPEX system offers a fast, efficient method for connecting Uponor PEX tubing that results in strong, durable connections that can withstand up to 1,000 pounds of pull force — all with just the use of one simple tool and no torches, glues, solvents or gauges.

And for added peace of mind, Uponor backs its system with a 25-year limited warranty on AQUAPEX tubing and ProPEX fittings when installed by an Uponor-trained and certified plumbing professional

 

Key Benefits

 A Win-Win-Win Situation

For Homebuilders:  AQUASAFE systems often allow tighter development densities, narrower streets, longer cul-de-sacs, smaller water mains and reduced fees.

For Contractors:  The AQUASAFE system is a proven and established product that offers a profitable new business opportunity by expanding on what they already know how to do — install PEX plumbing systems.

For Homeowners:  AQUASAFE offers unparalleled peace of mind with a non-stagnant, multi-purpose system that verifies fresh water is available to their fire safety system if it is ever needed.
