Wirsbo: Leading the Pack

One of the oldest companies in the world, Wirsbo has four centuries of experience behind it, having made a career start forging high quality steel weapons for the King of Sweden. When swordplay and other medieval weapons went out of practice, Wirsbo set itself up as a manufacturer and producer of steel pipes, and quickly became the market leader of the heating and plumbing industries of Northern Europe. In the 1950's, the Wirsbo company began to produce low and high density polyethylene pipes, only to emerge, once again as a leading polyethylene pipe manufacturer by making a revolutionary breakthrough developing PEX. A year later Wirsbo introduced the world to Pex tubing, and used the technology to manufacture Aquapex, Pex fittings, manifolds and Pex tools. Multi-purpose Pex Tubing : Pex tubing, the backbone of floor heating is multi-purpose as it can be used in a number of ways from heating homes to hot and cold water distribution. Warm water circulating through Pex tubing embedded in Wirsbo Radiant floors keeps your house warm as toast when icy-cold winter winds send everyone scuttling indoors. The most flexible plumbing pipe, Pex tubing can be used for potable water distribution, in ice-rinks, refrigeration warehouses and for snow melting purposes. With a life expectancy of 100-years, Pex tubing has dependability, and from heating up your home to piping cold water, it has strength and flexibility to withstand both hot and cold temperatures. Aquapex: A Proven Plumbing System Non-toxic, Aquapex tubing, Wirsbo's magnificent offering of a plumbing system does not corrode even in aggressive water areas. One of the most freeze resistant Aquapex tubing on the market, Aquapex operates silently with no noisy rattles or water gurgling noises allowing you to sleep in warm silence. An Aquapex plumbing system offers a permanent leak resistant connection, and a 25-year warranty for Pex tubing when installed by a Wirsbo trained plumber. Manifolds: Versatile and Trouble Free Wirsbo's manifolds are snap free brackets that allow for easy removal and installation. Environmentally friendly, Wirsbo manifolds come in 3 or 4-port configurations that can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Customized combinations of Wirsbo manifolds for any number of outlets are easy to create, allowing adjustments and changes to be made even when in the field. Fewer fittings, no solder or torch required for mounting or assembly, Wirsbo manifolds have become the plumbing industry's all time favorite. And, when a Wirsbo trained professional installs them, Wirsbo manifolds come backed with a 10-year warranty. Pex Fittings: For All Your Needs Pex fittings or plastic pipes are far cheaper and much easier to install than metal systems. Pex fittings ensure superior water flow because of a smooth interior finish. Unlike metal pipes, plastic Pex fittings do not rust, corrode or rot; neither does waste get stalled in these pipes. Light, easy to handle, plastic Pex fittings are better able to manage and resist mechanical damage, completely unaffected by household chemicals and cleaners. You can use plastic Pex fittings for drain waste, vents, sewers, drains, water mains, water service lines, irrigation, conduit and fire sprinkler purposes, as well as, for various industrial applications.
