Preventing damage to rooftop insulated pipes and cables

摘要

Big Foot Systems has produced a range of off-the-shelf prefabricated aluminium roof penetrations. Five standard designs are available each with rounded inlets to prevent damage to insulated pipes and cables.rnDamage caused by poor weatherproof fittings can be very expensive, says Big Foot provider, Aspen Pumps. Many of the fittings on roofs are constructed from galvanised sheet metal, the joints are pop rivetted and the joint sealed with mastic -these have a very limited life. Big Foot Systems claims that by making this product in more robust aluminium,rnexpensive insurance claims can be averted.
