Conex Banninger, which makes plumbing fittings and valves, has introduced a CPD programme highlighting the multiple advantages of copper as a preferential fitting material.

The CPD also addresses the positive role copper can play in maintaining water hygiene and how its anti-microbial properties can combat infections such as Legionnaires’ Disease.

Dan Wild, UK business unit director, explains, ‘While other materials have their place, copper has the edge from so many perspectives — in practical use, sustainability, environmentally and from a health and safety standpoint.
