Winkler Technik Mounting U-Rail ZS1617T for underfloor heating for tubing OD 16-17mm (1/2″)
U-Rails – also known as clip rails, pipe fixing rails or UFH pipe tracks – hold underfloor heating pipes at precisely defined spacing. As the inventor of the U-Rail we offer U-Rails, U-Rails ZS, Penta Rails, Octarails, JetRails and Flip Rails for PEX and multilayer pipes from 10 to 25 mm – for hydronic underfloor heating and radiant floor heating, wall heating and surface tempering, from residential buildings via industrial halls to football stadiums around the world.

for underfloor heating / underfloor heating systems for tubing OD 16 and 17 mm (1/2″)

Universal U-Rail for 16/17 mm standard pipes – clamping range up to 25 mm.

Our strongest U-Rail – purpose-built for 25 mm pipes and large-area heating.


The most-installed U-Rail for 20 mm composite and PE pipes in residential and commercial projects.

The most robust 40-series rail – for stiff 18 mm composite and PE-RT pipes.

All-rounder for 17 mm PE-Xa, PE-RT and composite pipes – first choice in the plumbing trade.


Fine-tuned U-Rail for the rarer 14 mm pipe diameter – built for special and import systems.


The slimmest rail in our U-Rail family – precision-fit for 10 mm micro pipes used in wall and ceiling heating.

The Clips-Flachschiene CFS1620 combines minimal build-up height (24 mm) with the security of a U-Rail installation.
Not sure which rail fits your project?
The U-Rail was invented in the 1970s by Dr. Wolfram Winkler and remains one of the most economical systems for installing underfloor heating. The side springs clamp the pipe with millimetre precision at the specified spacing – without additional fasteners, without tape and without the pipe slipping.
Alongside the classic U-Rail we offer U-Rails ZS, Penta Rails, Octarails, JetRails and Flip Rails. Together they cover every common pipe diameter from 10 to 25 mm – for residential buildings, industrial halls and stadium turf heating.
Our U-rails are used on screed, concrete, soil, insulation panels and foil constructions. They suit wet and dry screed, industrial floors, wall heating and ceiling cooling, as well as outdoor and sports-area heating.
Depending on the substrate, the rail is fixed with holding pins, plastic nails, staples or directly with our gas-powered setting tool.
We produce in Germany and Switzerland and export to more than 35 countries. Every rail is tested for constant spring force, dimensional accuracy and UV resistance – so our U-rails deliver what they promise, decade after decade.
