included with the risers. The risers are

Lav Risers
• Uponor AquaPEX Lav Risers are
sold with a Delrin-engineered plastic
compression ring. You can also purchase
metal washers (sold separately).
• The metal washer assures that the riser
is compatible with compression nuts of
various opening sizes.
• If the Delrin-engineered plastic
compression ring is used, do not use
an insert. You will need a
1
⁄4" insert if a
metal ring is substituted.
• Uponor AquaPEX Lav Risers are listed
to NSF 14 and 61.
Note: Uponor recommends using ¼"
Uponor AquaPEX Riser Washers in hot-
water applications.
Closet Risers
• Closet risers are compatible with off-
the-shelf compression nuts.
• Closet risers are sold with a Delrin-
engineered plastic compression ring.
• Closet risers are not sold with the
metal washer. Do not use the metal
washer to connect to closets.
• If a Delrin-engineered plastic
compression ring is used, do not use
an insert. If substituting a metal ring, a
1
⁄4" insert is required.
Note: Do not heat Uponor AquaPEX
Risers to remove kinks. Do not install
kinked or damaged risers.
