|
What
rating or spec. is the pipework?
|
|
All
our PVC pipework is a of minimum BS3505/6 Class C rated for
imperial, and PN10 for metric, this gives a working
pressure of 9 bar for imperial and 10 bar for metric, and all
systems are WRAS listed.
|
|
What
make are the pipe / fittings?
|
|
As
all the pipework we supply is to a specification rather than a
manufacturer, this gives us the freedom to shop around and get
you the best price. We do not therefore show the manufacturers
of our components as they may change from time to time - all
of our components, no matter what make, are however compatible
with each other.
|
|
What
is the availability of items?
|
|
Our
distribution centre in the UK carries over 1 million pounds
worth of pipestock. This is in addition to a further 10 million
pounds worth of pipestock held in Europe which is shipped
over twice a week to replenish UK stocks.
