RIFENG Southern Africa has recently launched the Flowpex 15 and 22mm compression type multi-layer pipe (MLP). It says this multilayer piping system offers a strong, lightweight and flexible option to plumbers and the DIY market.
“The range has been around for two years, with only the pipe previously having Joint Acceptance Scheme for Water Services Installation Products (JASWIC) and SANS 21003 accreditation. Rifeng has since obtained full JASWIC approvals on both our fittings and pipes, thus offering the DIY handyman, plumber and merchants a complete plumbing solution,” said Glenn Fisher, Rifeng National Sales Manager.
The JASWIC accreditation is a requirement in the plumbing industry for a compliance certificate to be issued for the installation.
Fisher said the installation process is simple as the pipe is cut, reamed, fitted and locked.
“We have been supplying crimp systems for some time, so identified the need to have the DIY and maintenance multi- layer pipes, which use the common compression type fittings, which are simple to use and can easily be installed.”
The Flowpex Multi-Layer pipe (MLP) and compression fittings have been accredited by JASWIC for hot and cold-water systems inside buildings up to 10 Bar.
