1. Lightweight & easy to install
- Easier manual handling on site
- No special tools or hot works are required
2. Corrosion & limescale resistant
- Smooth bore of plastic prohibits corrosion or limescale build-up
- Consistent flow rates & lower maintenance costs
3. Pump efficiencies
- Plastic pipes have a smoother bore than metal alternatives
- Smooth bore can provide less friction & lower head loss
- Lower pump duty & long term energy savings
4. Water Quality
- Smooth bore of plastic pipe results in reduced bacteria (Biofilm)
- Only preventative treatments (chemical or thermal) will eliminate biofilm
- C-PVC is the most compatible material for these treatments
5. Time & cost savings
- Ease & speed of installation can provide value engineering solutions & a compressed schedule
- Significant installed cost savings can be realised vs metal alternatives
6. Impact resistant
- Some plastics materials have exceptional
impact strength
- SuperFLO ABS remains ductile at temperatures as low
as -40°C
7. No scrap value
- No additional security costs
- No remedial repair work due to theft
8. Stable pricing
- Plastic prices are more stable than metal pipe systems
- Allowing more accurate cost projections for contractors
9. Modular solutions
- Plastic systems work well on modular projects
- Plastics are easy to pre-fabricate & connect-up on-site
10. Standards & approvals
- Independently tested and approved
- Rigorous testing to universally recognised standards.
