Our pipes, fittings and valves for pressure and drainage applications are specifically designed to fulfil the requirements of different industrial environments. Our range of market-leading plastic pipework products overcome some of the problems associated with more are a perfect solution for a range of different applications. traditional pipework materials. Whether it be for chilled water or aggressive acids, Furthermore Durapipe pipework systems are corrosion specialist drainage requirements, or even for the safe and limescale free with most systems enjoying a 50-year conveyance of fuel, our pipework systems can easily design life with long term savings on maintenance. Standards & Approvals Durapipe high performance plastic pipework systems are lightweight and easy to install whilst having excellent corrosion Approved for use within public water supplies and by the Secretary of State. and limescale resistance properties. Durapipe ABS is listed in the “List of Approved Products” published by the DWI. Applies to Durapipe Durapipe UK products are manufactured to the highest level pipes and fittings - inch series only and meet with the requirements of many international standards and approvals. Both our Durapipe ABS & PVC-U pipework systems are WRAS approved and are ‘Approved for use within public water supplies and by the Secretary of State. Durapipe ABS & PVC-U are listed in the “List of Approved Products” published by the DWI. Furthermore, our products are manufactured in an environment that complies with the requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. 4 Benefits of Plastics Lightweight Impact resistant Plastic piping systems are lightweight and Plastic materials such as ABS are extremely easier to handle on-site and therefore plastics impact resistant and the pipesystem can remain can reduce health and safety risks to pipework tough & durable when performing even at low installers. temperatures. Chemical Resistance Easy to install & Suitability Plastic systems do not require any specialist tools Plastic pipework systems can provide excellent or equipment during the installation period, joints chemical resistance properties which allow can be made easily and quickly, meaning they the safe transportation of a range of industrial are often easier to install than traditional pipework fluids and aggressive chemicals without fear of materials. corrosion and environmental pollution. Install time & cost savings Corrosion resistant The ease of installation properties associated with Plastic pipework systems are completely corrosion plastics and the reduced time involved, there are resistant meaning less maintenance and material typical cost savings of up to 50% when plastic replacement costs as well as less energy costs is compared to steel or copper as alternative due to a lack of friction when pumping fluids materials. throughout the piping. Sustainable and lower environmental impact Smooth bore The manufacture of plastic pipework systems The smooth inner-bore of plastic pipework ensures requires less carbon energy and as they are that no limescale can build up within the system lighter in weight, they are subsequently easier resulting in less friction loss & guarantees that a to transport, meaning that there are definitive consistent flow rate is maintained throughout the reasons why plastic systems have a lower impact life of the pipe system. on the environment than metal alternatives.
