A sleek new design and feedback technology has been included in the new PolyPlumb® Enhanced from Polypipe Building Products.
For 25 years, PolyPlumb® has been a staple of the residential plumbing market, and now Polypipe’s well-known push-fit plumbing system has been enhanced with a fresh new look and featuring patented In-Cert® feedback technology.
PolyPlumb® Enhanced features the company’s patented In-Cert® providing the installer with improved jointing assurance and peace of mind through haptic feedback.
The In-Cert® Pipe Stiffener is manufactured from a high specification engineering polymer which is used in complex and demanding automotive, aerospace and medical applications. It incorporates a 360º wave feature in its head which engages with projections within the socket and helps to align and centralise the pipe.
The company says that the haptic click of the In-Cert® technology gives real confidence; just push the pipe home, twist and you know the jobs done; push, twist, know.
PolyPlumb® Enhanced also brings a fresh new look and is available in white for the first time as well as the original grey, allowing it to blend into a range of settings. The two colours are fully compatible with each other if required.
The new solution provides a permanent fix; the joint is demountable by disassembly only.
Hot and cold
The company says PolyPlumb® Enhanced is suitable for use in most plumbing and heating installations, including hot and cold water and underfloor heating applications. The fittings are suitable for use with Polypipe grey and white plumbing and heating pipe.
Adam Pearson, Category Manager, at Polypipe Building Products commented: “PolyPlumb® has been a widely known and loved fixture for professional installers for over 25 years. Continuous improvement applied through innovative technology and progressive design is at the heart of everything we do at Polypipe Building Products, and we’re proud to share the results with the heating and plumbing community. PolyPlumb® Enhanced continues to deliver the reliability and confidence installers have grown to expect from the product but brings a fresh new look and even better performance.”
Sustainability
PolyPlumb® Enhanced’s packaging has also received an upgrade and features 50% recycled plastic film, a 30% reduction in plastic film thickness and a reduction in bag size on its most popular fittings.
