IN FOCUS
For the most compact boiler cascade on the market, choose Stratton from Hamworthy
H
amworthy Heating, a trusted British manufacturer and
supplier of commercial heating and water products, include in their comprehensive product range the Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler. When installed on a Hamworthy low height frame and header kit, outputs from 40-70kW offer the most compact cascade configuration available on the market.
Considerably smaller
than other well-known manufacturers' models, Stratton mk3 boilers feature a compact footprint, with models up to 70kW measuring only 487w x 577d x 764h. Moreover, when fitted to a Hamworthy Heating low-height frame and header kit, Stratton mk3 boilers benefit from a height of only 1474mm from the floor to the top of the boiler flue connection. These dimensions make a Stratton mk3 cascade the perfect solution for plantrooms where available height and footprint space is limited. Offering a compact solution with outstanding efficiency, installing a Stratton cascade also provides
several benefits over using one large boiler. By allowing multiple boilers to work together for an efficient and flexible solution, a Stratton mk3 cascade also offers added protection against breakdown and system failure. When asked to specify a space-saving and reliable heating system to a customer, the features of the Stratton mk3 were a big selling point to Tucker Mechanical and Electrical Building Services. To address the space issue, two 70kW Stratton mk3 boilers, with a total output of 140kW, were installed in cascade to provide the building with a compact alternative to its previous floor-standing model. Following the upgrade, Hull and East Yorkshire Centre for the Deaf have increased floor space within its plant room. Suitable for new and retrofit installations, Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boilers offer a 5:1 turndown ratio, excellent low-class 6 NOx emission across all models, and up to 97% gross seasonal efficiency. Featuring a durable stainless steel heat exchanger for longevity, all Stratton mk3 boilers offer exceptional system tolerance and are backed by a five-year heat exchanger warranty.

Leviat upgrades Ancon Optima range to provide more economical solutions for single storey lifts and wider cavities
E
ngineered connection specialist, Leviat, has responded to growing customer requests for a faster and more efficient brickwork support solution for lower loads with the launch of two major new products, Ancon Optima 6 and Ancon Optima 8. Together with an increase in
the cavity range for all Optima systems to accommodate wider wall cavities up to 200mm, the new products now provide contractors with a full range of off-the-shelf bracket angle systems for common brickwork support applications up to 14kN/m. Capable of supporting unfactored masonry loads of up to 6kN/m and 8kN/m respectively, the new Ancon Optima 6 and Optima 8 systems, like the existing Optima 10, 12 and 14 systems, are standard systems, comprising laser-cut brackets, two-step angles and locking wedges. They are particularly useful for single storey lifts of masonry, or where support is required above window heads, where the existing Optima 10 system can prove uneconomical. To prevent possible confusion on site, all angles are colour coded (Orange for Optima 6 systems and Yellow for Optima 8), whilst all brackets are universal across the full Optima range and can be simply changed on site, if required, to accommodate cavity variations. As with existing Optima systems, the new Optima 6 and 8 systems are lighter in weight and easier
to handle on site than the more complex welded support systems and can thus provide significant cost and time savings to contractors. They are specified using simple load/cavity charts, without the usual requirement for detailed layout drawings. Angles for the new Optima 6 and 8 systems, as well as new brackets for up to 200mm cavities will be available from stock with immediate effect, subject to initial demand. New literature, installation guides, and Declarations of Performance for the expanded Optima range are available on-line.

Click Mode – the number one wiring accessory range
ince it was first launched back in 2006, Scolmore’s Click Mode range has remained the company’s best-selling wiring accessories collection to date.
Mode was conceived
and developed as a high quality, flexible and modern solution for virtually any domestic wiring requirement. The smooth, contemporary lines of the accessory plate will fit easily into traditional and contemporary designs alike and the modular design allows installers unprecedented flexibility in creating dedicated wiring solutions. When selecting wiring accessories installers have often had to compromise their schemes as they
have been unable to identify a suitably modular solution to satisfy their ideas. Mode accessories have been providing that flexibility, with a comprehensive selection of products ranging from the humble light switch and socket outlet through to more specialised products dealing with the very latest developments in telephone and satellite products. All Click Mode switch plates are modular as standard, allowing the creation of virtually any switch plate required. The MiniGrid modules are all easily and quickly exchanged or mounted onto unfurnished plates by means of a simple single screw fixing. All Mode products are manufactured using Urea Formaldehyde, which has similar inherent properties
to antimicrobial additives that inhibit the growth of infectious diseases. All products independently tested achieved a 99.99% kill off rate across all four types of the strains of bacteria - MRSA, E-Coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella Pneumonia and enveloped viruses. Mode plates have also been independently tested and have shown to have anti-viral properties against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The full range of Click Mode wiring accessories is available to view on the Scolmore Group website –
www.scolmore.com – as well as on the Scolmore Group app.
