Strength and durability - cast iron is able to withstand the rigours of on-site handling, mechanical de-blocking and vandalism and requires less embedment than other materials for below ground Installations.
Long life - when correctly installed cast iron drainage systems will last the life of the building, whether domestic, public, industrial or commercial.
Sustainability - in addition to lasting the life of a building and requiring minimal maintenance, cast iron is also 100% recyclable and can therefore be used again after the building has gone.
Fire resistance and Safety - The melting point of cast iron is considerably higher than PVCu or PE and in the event of a fire will not emit toxic fumes or drop burning globules of material from one compartment to another.
How to Install Cast Iron Push Fit Soil Pipe & Fittings
Traditional Express sockets, both plain and eared are designed only for use with Traditional Express pipes and fittings. The design of the soil stack should allow at least one eared socket on each fitting to enable the system to be anchored securely to the building.
Installation should proceed from bottom to top of the soil stack with typically a length of pipe, boss pipe or branch at the base of the stack. This first pipe or fitting should be connected to the underground drainage system to ensure a secure base and have an eared socket fitted to the top to ensure stability and security of the pipe work before proceeding further.
Subsequent pipes and fittings installed vertically above this point should incorporate at least one eared socket. On branch arms we suggest the use of a plain socket to provide the correct aesthetical appearance. The assembled joint is designed to be a tight fit to ensure compliance with a pressure test and long life performance.
