Please note that on the initial contractor AquaSAFE job, Uponor will release the completed plans ONLY to their rep, the Osborne Co. See the DRF, Fire Safety Design Request FormĪvailable through the website for more information. There is a graduated fee associated with this service, based upon the size of the residence. After passing a short exam, the contractor is allowed to submit plans to Uponor for design consideration. This course is required by the manufacturer to use AquaPEX in this application. It will also include numerous issues such as component listing, hydrostatic tests, sprinkler temperature ratings, design documentation and hydraulic calculations. This Uponor specific 13D course will address automatic sprinkler design, installation and system maintenance. The first step requires the (AquaPEX Certified) plumbing contractor to take an on-line Level 1 class. An Uponor AquaSAFE System incorporates a home’s domestic potable water PEX piping as the conduit for sprinkler water. Uponor offers design services and products to satisfy this requirement through an NFPA 13D Multi-Purpose fire sprinkler system.
