 | | NEW TIMESAVER BROCHURE FEATURES SAINT-GOBAIN’S MARKET LEADING RANGE OF CAST IRON DRAINAGE SYSTEMS | | | Saint-Gobain Pipelines | | 16/07/2008 | | | Leading producer of cast iron above and below ground drainage systems, Saint-Gobain Pipelines (SGPL) has published a new brochure for its Timesaver above and below ground drainage systems which includes the latest new products to its Heritage range.
Timesaver, the first mechanically jointed system, was launched 35 years ago for use on above ground soil and ventilating installations to BS416 part 2. In 1980, a below ground Timesaver system to BS437, was introduced to complement the soil range and together they became market leaders in cast iron drainage. Both systems were awarded the highly coveted BS Kitemark in 1982 and have been widely used on prestigious commercial buildings ever since.
The Timesaver below ground system comes in three diameters - 100, 150, and 255mm - and includes a wide range of British Standard fittings i.e. inspection chambers, gully traps, raising pieces, anti-flooding devices and an extensive range of access fittings. Recognised for its superior strength due to its extra section thickness, it is the first choice solution for under building drainage and areas of unstable ground.
SGPL’s Timesaver soil range has seen a significant upturn in sales with the introduction of push-fit couplings and 6ft pipes to satisfy the market for external soil stacks, often painted black, which for listed/heritage properties tend to be in the old socket and spigot design.
The traditional appearance of Timesaver Heritage couplings is becoming increasingly popular for this type of installation and its acceptance by recognised bodies has helped turn this mechanically jointed system into the traditional socketed system of yesteryear. New for 2008 is the addition of 75mm couplings to complete the range of 50mm to 100mm diameters. | |
