Description

SuperFlo ABS is a fully matched, solvent-welded system including pipe, fittings and valves for chilled and cold water services and other environmental control systems.

SuperFlo ABS has a smooth bore which greatly reduces the build-up of biofilms which can create potential for harmful bacteria such as legionella and pseudomonas, and is completely corrosion resistant meaning lower maintenance costs and optimum pump efficiencies.


Features and benefits:

  • Lightweight and easy to install.
  • Operating temperature -40°C to +20°C.
  • Up to 15 bar pressure rating.
  • 50-year design life.
  • Corrosion and impact resistant.
  • Low thermal conductivity helps to reduce temperature loss.
  • Fully matched range of pipe, fittings and valves.
  • Full WRAS approval.
  • Sizes ½–8" inch (imperial).
  • Also available in metric sizes, specified separately.

Manufacturer guidance

Once the system reaches its end of life, it can be recycled via any plastic recycling company. The repurposed material can be reused in other industries in non-pressurised areas. We would not recommend that the recycled content is used in pressurised systems as this would exceed the lifetime of the material.
