Blue ring 16 Uponor Q&E Evolution 1058013

Universal connector for Uponor systems

The Uponor Q&E Evolution blue ring 16 is a key element of the Uponor Quick & Easy rapid-assembly system, designed for connecting pipes made of plastic. It is a component essential for creating durable and tight connections in water and heating installations. Its construction, based on cold expansion technology, ensures ease and speed of assembly, which is particularly appreciated by professional installers.

Construction and application

Made of polyethylene (PE), this ring works with Q&E fittings, allowing for the creation of a non-separable connection. The assembly process involves sliding the ring onto the pipe and then expanding the end of the pipe using a special tool. After sliding the pipe onto the fitting, the ring automatically clamps, creating a tight and durable connection. This connection method minimizes the risk of errors during installation and ensures long-term system reliability. The ring is dedicated to pipes with a diameter of 16 mm and is an integral part of the Uponor PE-Xa system.

Advantages and benefits

• Fast assembly: Q&E technology significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional connection methods, resulting in savings in time and labor costs.
• High reliability: Connections made using the Q&E ring are characterized by high tightness and resistance to pressure and mechanical loads.
• Versatility: Possibility of use in various temperature conditions, even below zero degrees Celsius (-15°C), increases the range of applications.
• Durability: The material of construction – polyethylene – provides resistance to corrosion and long-term operation without loss of properties.
• Ease of use: The simple assembly process does not require specialized skills, making it easier for both professionals and individuals performing installations themselves.
• Compatibility: The ring is intended for use exclusively with original Uponor pipes, fittings and tools, guaranteeing optimal system performance and safety.
• Safety: The use of stoppers on the ring prevents it from slipping during pipe expansion, increasing assembly precision and safety.
