Targeted for specific U.S. regional distribution partners, Uponor is launching TotalFit™ — the professional-grade, engineered polymer (EP), push-to-connect fitting solution that provides greater value for residential projects with the same versatility and speed as brass push-to-connect fittings.
Designed for use with PEX, PE-RT, CPVC, and copper piping systems, TotalFit is ideal for service repair, maintenance, remodels, and retrofits for potable hot-water and cold-water distribution piping systems in single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, and condominiums.
Featuring patent-pending technology to provide a strong, lasting connection, TotalFit is one of the only full-featured, EP, push-to-connect fittings on the market right now, and it offers about a 30% savings against brass. The new offering includes 33 of the highest-volume push-to-connect fittings in sizes from ½” to 1″ to meet the greatest need in the market.
“Uponor has a strong leadership position in residential plumbing with AquaPEX® pipe and the ProPEX® fitting system,” says Aaron Stotko, director, Segment Marketing, at Uponor. “Now, with TotalFit, we are expanding into the plumbing repair, maintenance, and renovation segments with a high-quality, reliable fitting solution from a brand professionals trust.”
TotalFit meets or exceeds all performance requirements of the PEX system performance standard, ASTM F877, as well as the push-fitting performance standard, ASSE 1061. The complete offering is approved by the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC) for direct burial in soil or concrete (with 4 to 6 mil poly wrap) as well as behind walls without access panels. Additionally, the offering is solidly backed by a 25-year product warranty for added peace of mind.
“Uponor has long been the leader in transforming the plumbing industry — with PEX-a pipe, with ProPEX expansion fittings, and with transitioning the market from brass to EP,” says Stotko. “With TotalFit, we are again providing professionals with a versatile, reliable, efficient solution that will help make jobs faster, easier, and more profitable.”
During the targeted release in early 2023, availability is limited to specific U.S. regional distribution partners. The company will expand the offering to additional U.S. and Canada regions later in 2023 and into 2024.
