April is plastic plumbing month across the @polypipetrade social media accounts, so in this blog post we wanted to highlight the wide range of advantages that plastic plumbing can offer compared to traditional materials such as copper.
Tamper proof solutions
In many locations, such as public buildings and shared residential developments, guarding against malicious damage and theft is high on the list of priorities. For these applications we offer a complete range of PolySure fittings designed to fit fast and hold fast.
Reducing site hot works
Soldering and welding on site has long been the accepted way to create watertight joints in plumbing systems. Now however you can leave the blow torch in the van.
Plastic push-fit offers massive benefits in terms of speed, efficiency and integrity thanks to their light weight and near-instant speed of fit.
No more hot works also means less chance of burns and reduced risk of fire - which makes plastic a safer bet.
Secure but releasable fittings
When a joint needs to be tamper-proof but may need to be removed, choose PolyFit - our range of fittings that can be quickly demounted by hand.
PolyFit features a one step jointing operation for quick and easy installation. They system can be used on a wide range of contract and retrofit projects, including hot and cold water systems, and is particularly suitable for first fix installations.
Reducing theft from site
Our residential pipes and fittings are irresistible to installers and specifiers in terms of convenience, speed of installation and reliability, but they're not as attractive to thieves.
Because they're not constructed from Copper, their low scrap value minimises chance of theft to save you inconvenience and expense.
