Vulcathene continues its chemistry lesson

Vulcathene chemical drainage has been specified to carry waste from sinks in science laboratories of the new Maesteg School in south west Wales. The school opens in September and will have 1200 pupils aged 11 to 18. Installer FP Hurley specified 200 m of piping for the project, and the installation took advantage of the two jointing methods available. Enfusion was used for pipework up to 1.2 mm in vertical runs, while the mechanical fitting process was chosen for the smaller 40 and 50 mm pipework installed directly under the sinks. Philip Hurley, director with FP Hurley, says, ‘We normally use Vulcathene for chemical waste because we know the product and its history. It is very reliable, and we wanted to ensure we would be able to maintain the product in the future. Because it is non-permanent, the mechanical jointing method used under the sinks allows us to make adjustments to the pipework without taking the entire system out.
