What is UPP Piping?
Various images of UPP Piping.
Universal Petro Pipe (UPP) is the leading lightweight,
flexible, non-metallic pipe-work system available. The pipe is
manufactured in a full range of sizes, from an upgraded polyethylene
material using an extrusion process that provides a bore of
exceptional smoothness.
The UPP System is a complete system, incorporating everything required
from the pipework, entry fittings right through to the sumps and chambers
and down to the covers. When using the complete UPP System you can be sure
of a testable and 100% tight piping system.
Efficiency, reliability and cost effectiveness are the key benefits, with
both pipework and storage tanks providing long term leak free performance.
What's more, products are carefully designed to ensure that they are not
only easy to install, but also require little or no ongoing maintenance.
That's why UPP Systems products are trusted by major global companies in
the petro-chemicals, aviation, rail, marine and mining industries, including
many ‘blue-chip' corporations.
At the heart of the UPP System is a highly efficient electrofusion
welding system which connects pipe and fittings to create a seamless
direct burial pipe-work system. The welding operation, easily and
quickly carried out, even in confined spaces and any climatic conditions,
uses the UPP Systems lightweight portable electrofusion welding unit to
form the strongest of assemblies. The fully vacuum testable UPP system
remains testable throughout the entire life of the site.
Environmentally safe, UPP pipe and fittings meet and exceed current legislation and standards required for its use in the petrol station industry.
