Modular Riser system
Effective way for the installation of risers
With the Uponor modular Riser System the installation is no longer a complex task.
The innovative Uponor modular Riser System reduces both your planning and construction work, because there are fewer building components to store, process and plan for. It is also quicker and easier to connect pipes.
Uponor modular Riser System MLCP fitting uses just 40 parts to achieve more than 300 fitting combinations, up to 110mm, and features a distinctive “click and lock” mechanism which removes the need for overhead pressing.
With the Uponor modular Riser System you will get new possibilities for everything from planning to installation.
Key features
- A system with benefits long before installation
- Simpler, quicker and more cost-efficient
- Fewer elements for all requirements
- 40 components are sufficient for an entire system
- Colour coding up to 110 mm for easier handling
RTM tool free fittings
RTM joints are available in 16mm to 25mm diameters and are colour coded to show at-a-glance which size to select. This saves you time and avoids any chance of error. The end result is a safe, professional job you’ll be proud of. Every RTM connection is quick and easy to make. Simply insert our MLC pipe into the fitting until you hear the distinctive click. This indicates that a secure joint has been made. You also have visual proof of success thanks to the 360º window, so once fitted you can forget it.
With RTM Ring Tension Memory you can forget all about soldering and pipe wrenches. The high carbon steel spring ring acts as the tool itself, applying even pressure around the pipe. Through its inherent memory it then cleverly maintains this pressure, absorbing temperature fluctuations to ensure a sound watertight joint at all times.
The revolutionary RTM™ fitting. No leaks. No tools. No equal.
RTM system for tapwater and radiator connection
- Secure jointing
- Colour coded joint indicator
- No tool dependence
- Joint indicator – visible and audible
- Fast and easy installation
- Fully certified and approved
- No soldering and pipe wrenches
When making an RTM joint, please use the calibration tool and MLC pipe (see below)
Serial and Loop Installation with Smart Ends
Serial Installation
The serial installation prevents the
collection of stagnation water in
the feed lines of consumers that are
rarely in use, e.g. outdoor taps in
a single-family home, or a washing
machine connection in the shared
laundry of a multi-family property.
In this system, the consumers are
connected by means of Uponor
U-end elbows that are routed
directly to the next consumer,
therefore excluding any stagnation
of the water in the system if the
plan is to install the consumer that
is used most frequently, usually the
toilet fl ushing or basin at the end
of the serial installation.
This means that the last consumer
propagates the exchange of water
at the upstream piping and taps.
Loop installation
The Uponor U-end elbows are also
used to connect the taps to the
loop installation and to route the
multi layer composite pipes directly
to the next tap
.
However, the piping is routed back
from the last object to the riser
pipe. The loop installation system is
therefore hygienically impeccable,
thanks to the optimised turnover of
water in the piping.
In order to achieve a consistent
hygienic flow in the loop
installation, it is advisable to select
a pipe with the same diameter as
far as possible and less than that of
the serial installation, as the objects
are supplied from both sides.
Compared to the serial installation,
the lower pressure losses allows you
to signifi cantly increase the number
of tap outlets per installation
system.
