For your health: PEXa pipe and Q&E.
A hygienic, long-lasting and leak-proof system for drinking water and dialysis installations: PEXa pipe with Uponor Q&E fittings.
Uponor MLCP riser lineIn-apartment distributionReliability in hospital and dialysis plumbing.
In hospitals, dialysis centres and healthcare buildings, water plumbing must run without interruption, clean and leak-free. PEXa pipe with Q&E fittings is a system that meets this need.
No welding, glue or solder
Q&E connections are made by cold expansion. No weld burrs, adhesive or solder residue form inside the pipe.
- PEX-a pipe produced by the Engel method
- ISO 15875 and health certified
The pipe makes the connection
The expanded PEX-a pipe, through its shape memory, tries to return to its original diameter and tightens the connection by itself.
- No risk of installer-dependent weld quality
- Trouble-free service in major projects since 1996
Dialysis water lines
In dialysis water lines, material selection, line design and disinfection method should be determined together with the dialysis system manufacturer’s requirements and relevant standards such as ISO 23500.

In a welded PPRC installation, every joint is a heat weld made by the installer on site. With PEXa pipe and Q&E, the pipe itself makes the connection.
In three steps, Q&E connection.
No welding machine, heating time or cooling wait. An expander tool and a few seconds are enough.

Fit the ring
Fit the Q&E ring onto the end of the pipe.

Expand
Widen the end of the pipe with the expander tool.

Push on, done
Push the pipe onto the fitting; the job is done.
