Uponor Ecoflex VIP Thermo Single – Pre-Insulated Underground Heating Pipe
Uponor Ecoflex VIP Thermo Single – Pre-Insulated Underground Heating Pipe
The Uponor Ecoflex VIP Thermo Single is a flexible, pre-insulated single pipe system for underground heating and cooling applications.
It combines a PE-Xa carrier pipe with Uponor's Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) technology and PE-X foam insulation to provide excellent thermal performance while keeping the outer casing as compact and flexible as possible.
The system is suitable for applications including heat pumps, communal heating, district heating and other buried heating or cooling networks.

Pipe & Fitting Selector
For each end of an Ecoflex VIP Thermo Single pipe you require:
- 1 x rubber end cap
- 1 x WIPEX 6 bar coupling
For a typical continuous pipe run connecting two locations, you will therefore normally require 2 x rubber end caps and 2 x WIPEX couplings in total.
