Maincor
Mechanical Fittings
Installers opting for connection fittings from Maincor can now take advantage of its mechanical fittings, which are said to reduce installation times. Made from brass, Maincor compression fittings for joining Flextra Pipe and making building connections feature two bolts; one for opening the fitting, and one for tightening it on to the pipe.
Reportedly minimising the potential for human error and reducing fitting times, Maincor connectors from 32mm and above are made with a clamping sleeve. Creating huge pressure to the joint, this solution is said to make it impossible for the pipe to slide out of the connector.

DASSY
D-FLEX
The D-FLEX collection from DASSY professional workwear features 11 new items and reportedly offers durable garments that provide optimal freedom of movement. Thanks to its main fabric with mechanical stretch, the 4-way stretch inserts in strategic areas and the Cordura Stretch at the knee, ensure the DASSY D-FLEX work trousers stretch and flex exactly where professionals need extra elasticity.
To reinforce the stretch zones, the company has also used Cordura Stretch fabric at the knee pockets and in the stretch inserts as well. The new topwear items, such as the T-shirt and polo, also feature high performance fabrics meaning they are antibacterial, quick drying and offer UV sun protection.
