So technically. Im certified to use their products. In their data base. It says I'm Certified.
They started doing this because they wanna make sure people actually understand how to use their products PROPERLY!
If you buy PIPES from Uponor and use a FITTING from a different brand. If the PIPE burst where the FITTING and pipes connect. The warantee is voided. So you must buy pipes and fittings from the same manufacture.
If there is a leak from there products. They will inspect it to see if the fitting was installed properly or if there was any damage to the pipes. Having a piece of TAPE on the pipes can slowly destroy the pipes over time.
PEX is the type of plastic.
Thats all i remember at the moment
There are alot of good Plumbers who take pride in there work. There are also alot of crappy plumbers who do poor quality work. Keep that in mind. You can spend $$$ on pipes then hire a bad plumber. Leaks!

What do you mean by having a piece of TAPE on the pipes can slowly destroy the pipes?? tape as in scotch tape/ painters tape / duct tape?
