Wavin strengthens Building Products offering with new pipe systems

(30/06/2009)

Wavin has launched a new and comprehensive Industrial, Commercial and Multi-residential solutions range to strengthen Wavin's existing Building Products offering.

The range comprises three highly efficient systems: Wavin K1 press-fit plumbing system, Wavin Compact Soil system and Wavin SiTech Silent Soil system which deliver cost efficient installation and proven in-service performance.

K1 is a multilayer composite pipe system used extensively in Europe for potable water, sanitary and heating applications, which is WRAS approved, lightweight and flexible. Fittings utilise press-fit technology, taking a fraction of the time to get right compared to traditional soldering techniques, saving installation costs and avoiding the need for Hot Works insurance permits.

Compact Soil is a revised system with shortened adaptors which improve connection flexibility. It has an innovative ‘stop’ position fitting preventing waste pipes being fitted with a fall less than 2.5o providing simple, easy and mistake free installation. A wide range of solvent and push-fit fittings are available for every installation scenario, to suit individual site requirements.

SiTech is a silent soil push-fit system designed for professional soil installations where noise suppression is a priority, with proven track record of more than 15 years throughout Europe. SiTech has the ability to absorb airborne, structure borne and impact sounds through its innovative design and tough Astolan® shell. As a result, there is no need to wrap pipe and fittings with a 25mm quilt in order to achieve noise reduction, saving installation time and costs. Push-fit socket connections allow for quick, easy and economical installation of this robust system that is resistant to corrosion and internal deposition.

The systems are intended for use in commercial projects such as educational establishments, health facilities, apartment blocks and hotels.
