Ashworth offers pipe-hanging solutions

Specialist distributor Ashworth now offers a comprehensive range of pipe-hanging solutions to complement its wide-ranging portfolio of tubes, valves and fittings. The range includes pipe supports, general fasteners, channel brackets and fittings, insulating blocks, plastic fittings, malleable-iron fittings, and copper and brass fittings.

Russell Goddard, the company’s product manager, says, ‘More than two million metres of tubing is sold in the UK every year, 80% of which is suspended from ceilings or fixed to walls in applications such as hot-and-cold-water supply, drainage and fire protection. As a reliable and trusted supplier of tubing and pipework, it makes sense that our customers are able to source the entire package from one distributor — thus speeding up the procurement process and enabling smoother delivery to site.’

Ashworth carried out detailed market research to determine the exact tube and fixing types required by its customers. The company then sourced the latest and most technically advanced products available for distribution throughout its network of strategically located branches.
