For the installation of the waste piping to take the waste water to the drain, we have teamed up with MARLEY as well as DPI , who manufacture and supply SABS drain piping as well as drain fittings. These fittings are divided into 2 groups, each group having various sizes;
1- ABOVE GROUND PIPES AND FITTINGS- these are normally white in color and are specifically to be used above ground- although can be used underground as well- they are UV resistant and will last longer when exposed to the elements.
2- UNDERGROUND PIPES AND FITTINGS- these are normally brown in color and are made for use underground. They must NOT be used for above ground installation.
3- 40/50MM PVC PIPES AND FITTINGS- these are the smaller sized pipes and fittings and are used to take the water from the smaller sanitary items such as basins, baths, showers and sinks to the main drain. They are white in color and can be laid in or above ground and also in concrete slabs and floors.
Although there are many other manufactures of drain pipes and fittings, and we do understand that each customer will have their own preference and budget for a specific job. We have tried and tested the MARLEY and DPI products and have found them to be robust, reliable, and readily available at a reasonable price. Please feel free to contact them to get a more in depth analysis of their products to put your, the customers mind, at ease with the materials being used on your property.
