Polypipe Building Services reveals major expansion to its MecFlow Supply System range

Drainage and supply system specialist Polypipe Building Services has expanded the range of products available under its MecFlow Supply System brand.  This broadens its capabilities in helping customers to achieve complete, robust supply systems for commercial and high-rise projects.

The new range is now split into two product types - MecFlow Fusion and MecFlow Press - which together form a fully comprehensive supply system from the basement or plant room to risers, runouts and apartments.

Designed for robustness, MecFlow Fusion is available from 20mm to 315mm and features a tough multi-layer composition that’s reinforced by microfibres for added mechanical strength. The patented CLICKWELD electrofusion technology (available from 50mm to 125mm) produces secure, long-lasting joints without the need for hot works or bulky equipment. Available through the Polypipe Advantage service, which provides bespoke design, tailored pre-fabrications, delivery and technical support to make installation faster and simpler. A perfect solution for basement, plant room and riser installations.

Certified to BS EN ISO 15874 with WRAS approval, MecFlow Fusion uses socket weld, buttweld and electrofusion jointing methods to create homogenous joints.

Designed for flexibility and durability, MecFlow Press is a multi-layer composite piping system available from 16mm to 32mm.

Engineered for potable, hot and cold plumbing and heating installations, MecFlow Press takes the best of both metal and plastic systems. Providing an oxygen tight barrier, low thermal expansion and first-class flow rates, the ideal choice for runout and apartment installations.

Certified to BS EN ISO 21003 with WRAS approval, MecFlow Press uses press-fit jointing featuring a stainless-steel sleeve with tool guide and inspection holes ensuring peace of mind.

Andy Cullum, Managing Director of Polypipe Building Services, commented:

“Our heritage in commercial building construction means that we know how important it is for specifiers and contractors to have confidence in the products they choose, and crucially that these products are up to the demanding standards expected.

“This is why our Terrain products have long been the go-to choice for drainage systems, and now the expanded MecFlow Supply Systems range offers the same robust, high quality choice for supply applications.

“This broader MecFlow range has been specifically developed to make it easier to achieve a strong, durable installation across a full commercial project – from plant rooms right through to apartments.”

The expanded range was officially launched at events in London and Manchester. Many members of the building services industry attended to get an exclusive first look at the new products. The event also included a panel discussion tackling some of the key challenges facing the construction industry today.

The expanded MecFlow system is backed by Polypipe Building Services’ expert technical support as well as detailed sustainability information in the form of EPDs – making it straightforward to understand the environmental aspects of the system.
