Protecta-Line System Expands with Pupped Fittings

Oct. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- The product launch is the latest in a series of innovations from GPS, which has also recently seen the polyethylene pipe specialist launch their new range of mechanical fittings (http://www.gpsuk.com/range/60/protecta-line-mechanical-fittings.html) for its Protecta-Line pipe range. The move ensures that Protecta-Line continues to live up to its reputation as the sector’s most complete barrier pipe system, a track record that has seen Protecta-Line win a water industry innovation award, become the first system to offer fully impermeable valves and undertake the most exhaustive regime of independent testing to achieve a full system Kitemark to WIS 4-32-19.


Fabricated using Protecta-Line PE100 pipe, the new range of pupped fittings features extended spigots and can be installed using either butt-fusion or electro-fusion techniques. The range includes various shapes of pupped fittings and GPS can manufacture bespoke fittings to order, enabling specifiers to construct a Protecta-Line pipeline to suit individual project needs.


Comments GPS Product Manager Jon Briafield: “The launch of this new range of pupped Protecta-Line fittings ensures that contractors can install a fully homogenous pipeline with welded fittings, providing the ultimate in barrier pipe protection. We have updated our technical literature with the new additions to the Protecta-Line range, including installation guidelines, proving, once again, our solutions-driven approach to supporting the marketplace.”
