The time saving way to fit piping branches
Flamco has introduced its T-plus for installing branches to existing heating and potable water systems. It’s a quick and easy way of adding a T extension for a heating system extension to add additional radiators for example. The unit comes with its own trigger mechanism that once activated sees the cutting plunger cut a part of the pipe out, forming a perfect T piece without needing to drain the system, interrupt use of the system or needing to re-dose the system with inhibitor.
For more information, head to our website or go to Youtube and see T-plus in use.

The onset of summer and warmer weather calls for a change of focus on what you choose to wear on site. From keeping warm and dry in winter, warmer weather brings with it a need for professional craftsmen and women to be cool and dry - to maintain well being and working efficiency. That’s why Snickers’ new working clothes for the summer uses 37.5® fabric technology which is really good at ‘wicking’ moisture away from the body and keeping you dry. In the Snickers Workwear FLEXIWork, LITEWork and RUFFWork product families, there’s NEW Shirts, Shorts and Work Trousers that are super-light and quick-drying with advanced ventilation to keep you cool in the heat.
