www.ikogroup.co.uk/easyseal
IKO’s new built-up felt system is ideal for domestic flat roofs such as dormer windows, garages and extensions as well as bigger projects. It’s quick, clean and easy to install, consisting of three self-adhesive components: an Underlay, Top Sheet and Vapour Control Layer. The system can be totally flame-free for smaller projects or builders without specialist skills. The new IKO easyseal Pro Cap Sheet is a high-performance SBS self-adhesive cap sheet incorporating Graphite Firewall Technology, with a polyester base and a black mineral surface. It has a hot-air welded head/end lap and a 100mm plain seveledge for lap jointing. The IKO easyseal Universal Underlay is an elastomeric underlay with a fine mineral surface, designed to receive a torch-on cap sheet. It’s polyester-reinforced for greater durability and can be used as the first layer within un-insulated torch-on roofing systems, isolating combustible substrates to reduce the risk of fire when using a gas torch.
12 PLASSON: NEW UNIVERSAL SLIP COUPLER. ONE FITTING, LOTS OF PIPE TYPES 01444 244446
www.plasson.co.uk
Plasson chose the NBG conference to launch its latest innovative solution to connect or repair multiple pipe types. The Universal Slip Coupler was developed following requests from installers for a simple ‘one solution fits all’ fitting, no adaptors needed.
This unique WRAS approved fitting, above ground and/or below ground, is manufactured in a robust polypropylene for immense strength and with a large section o-ring seal, allowing the coupler to compensate for poor pipe quality, whilst maintaining pressures of up to PN16. With zero insertion force, the fitting can slide freely back and forth along damaged pipe.
The fitting is available in five sizes:, covering connections of pipes between 24-28mm, 31- 35mm, 40-43mm, 48-51mm and 60-64mm.
BMJ January 2018 Bigger, Bolder, Better 12
In 2017 Flexseal launched a unique coupling for 4-inch pipes with internal diameters between 99- 103mm. The coupling overcomes common issues lots of contractors face, which is connecting pipes with very little or no external surface to install a drain coupling. The Flexseal Icon Pushfit pushes into the problem pipe and grips to the internal surface whilst the opposite end does the same to the connecting pipe, creating a reliable, watertight seal.
11 POLYPIPE: SINGLE ZONE ELECTRIC BOILER FOR STANDALONE PROJECTS 01709 770000
www.polypipe.com
Polypipe has launched the Single Zone Electric Boiler. The new boiler removes the need for single room underfloor heating applications to be plumbed into the existing home heating system, providing an easier way for installers to fit underfloor heating systems into new extensions or
conversions.The new boiler offers a solution for smaller, standalone projects where it would be impractical to plumb into a main system. The unit is designed to provide a completely self-sufficient underfloor heating solution for a range of projects, from standard applications such as bathroom conversions, kitchens and extensions, through to more unusual uses such as garden buildings, log cabins, or loft conversions.
For the installer, the Single Zone Electric Boiler has been designed with speed and ease of installation in mind. The compact unit is a ‘one box solution’ which includes all the components required to run underfloor heating, and comes complete with simple push-fit connections, and fill and drain ports.
The 3kw boiler can supply the hot water to service Polypipe Underfloor Heating systems installed in an area of up to 38sq m (based on a requirement of 80w/sq m) with a temperature range of between 24° and 56°,
offering improved efficiency over an equivalent radiator system. The boiler’s compact design ensures that it can be accommodated into smaller areas, helping to maximise space while providing a more even and comfortable heat than radiators.
The boiler also enhances
energy efficiency for the end user., as it remains independent to other heating systems.
The Single Zone Electric Boiler holds British Standards Kitemark (KM 59690) and conforms to all relevant BSI and European directives.
