Included in the Catenary accessories range are 3mm zinc electroplated steel wire rope grips; 3mm wire rope eyelets; M8 zinc plated strainer adjustable rigging screws; zinc electroplated steel wire hook wall plates and zinc electroplated steel wire ring plates.

piece of kit for consumer unit installation. The premium Grommet Strips are flexible, durable and are designed to protect cables from sharp and abrasive metal edges.

Convenience in plumbing


Y


es, you heard right. While plumbing is most often a tough job, convenience is increasingly becoming a reality with innovative features introduced by manufacturers to streamline and enhance the efficiency of plumbing tasks. One noteworthy example of such advancements


comes from the German piping specialist, SANHA®. Their metal fittings designed for various applications, including drinking water, heating, gas, solar, compressed air, and cooling, offer a unique blend of speed and safety in plumbing installations. SANHA®’s metal fittings boast tool compatibility, a key facet of their combipress® feature. This compatibility allows these fittings to be pressed with all three original contours available on the market today: SANHA®’s own SA, V, and M profiles. Remarkably, these fittings can be utilized up to and including 54 mm, and with SA and M profiles, even up to an impressive 108 mm. The combipress® feature not only ensures flexibility in application but also showcases the manufacturer’s commitment to making plumbing tasks more accessible and efficient. One standout aspect of combipress® is its leak path protection, providing an added layer of security


during plumbing installations. Additionally, the inclusion of the Push & Stay mechanism in combipress® ensures that the fitting remains securely in place on the pipe. This feature proves particularly advantageous when working on overhead installations or in any scenario where preventing slippage is crucial. As manufacturers continue to prioritize convenience and safety, innovations like those found in SANHA®’s combipress® system are revolutionizing the plumbing landscape, making it easier for professionals to execute their tasks with precision and efficiency.

A new dimension in design aesthetics


new dimension is being brought to the design of interior spaces with Gilberts’


Series GA swirl diffuser. Building on Gilberts’ established range of swirl diffusers, the Series GA has a unique contemporary face design intended to deliver dynamism to the interior space, whether the diffuser is an integral part of an exposed building services strategy or inset into a suspended ceiling grid. Gilberts is offering one face plate design as standard, but can, with its in-house design, manufacturing and testing capability, produce bespoke variations of pattern and hole size (subject to order size). Series GA’s innovation extends beyond the aesthetics of the face plate. The plate sits in front of a unique radial pattern air distribution impeller core which can be altered to achieve numerous swirl patterns depending on the space layout and occupancy below. The Series GA delivers high volumes of air horizontally with rapid entrainment and mixing capability


into the conditioned space- up to 60l/s (GA Type A) or 170l/s (GA Type B)- whether cooling, heating or ventilating. “Series GA looks completely different to anything else on the market,” says Ian Rogers, Gilberts Sales Director. “It enables all involved in the building services design to create real visual impact, that’s out of the ordinary and unlike anything else available.” Gilberts’ swirl diffusers are already the ‘go to’ choice; they have been used in, among other projects, Uber’s European Centre of Excellence, Primark stores and Virgin’s first UK hotel. They are just part of the company’s extensive range of grilles, diffusers and louvres for natural and mechanical ventilation. Founded over 60 years ago, Gilberts Blackpool is the UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, and is unique in its ability to develop both ‘mainstream’ and bespoke ventilation supply and extraction solutions entirely in-house, from initial design through tooling, production, testing and supply, from its 140,000 ft2 of manufacturing facilities. Incorporating a state of the art test centre, designed and built in-house, which is one of the most technically advanced in the country.
