Frequently asked questions
Common questions about UPONOR from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum pressure rating for Uponor brass ball valves available from 3G Electric?
The Uponor manual two-way ball valves stocked by 3G Electric are rated for a maximum working pressure of 250 psi (CWP). This rating applies to all sizes and configurations, including straight and angle patterns, and covers both PEX x NPSM and PEX x PEX connection types. Always verify system pressure requirements against this rating before installation.
What connection types are available for Uponor ball valves at 3G Electric?
Uponor ball valves from 3G Electric come with either PEX x NPSM or PEX x PEX connections. PEX x NPSM valves are designed for connecting PEX tubing to threaded male or female NPSM fittings, while PEX x PEX valves allow direct PEX-to-PEX connections. Both types are available in straight and angle patterns, with sizes ranging from 3/4 inch to 1 1/4 inch.
Does 3G Electric carry Uponor tubing cutters for PEX?
Yes, 3G Electric stocks the Uponor tube cutter for PEX, which has a cutting capacity of 1 inch outer diameter. It uses a standard shear action and is designed specifically for clean cuts on PEX pipe. The cutter is suitable for field installation and maintenance tasks where precise pipe lengths are required.
Are Uponor ball valves available in angle configurations?
Yes, 3G Electric offers Uponor manual two-way ball valves in angle patterns. These are available in sizes such as 1 inch with PEX x NPSM connections. Angle valves are used where space constraints or piping layouts require a 90-degree turn in the flow path, while maintaining the same pressure rating of 250 psi.
What materials are Uponor ball valves made from?
Uponor ball valves stocked by 3G Electric are constructed from brass. Brass provides corrosion resistance and durability in water systems, making it suitable for potable water and hydronic heating applications. The valves feature a lever handle for manual operation and are designed for use with PEX tubing.
