GPS PE Pipe Systems has added an additional live ferrule offtake to its Protecta-Line range of barrier pipe and fittings, allowing branch connections from ferrous water pipes to be made swiftly and safely. According to the company, the WRAS-approved ferrule answers water industry calls for a simple way to provide Protecta-Line service connections, directly from a ductile iron main, to developments on brownfield land.rnAs the gunmetal ferrule can be installed while the main is at normal working pressure, no disruption to the supply is necessary when adding a connection.rnCompliant with WIS 4-22-02, the ferrule provides a solution for connecting a 25mm Protecta-Line service to live ferrous mains pipes. Fitting the live ferrule off-take is straightforward, using a normal under-pressure drilling machine.rnA hole is drilled and tapped to accept the ferrule's BSPT gunmetal stem and plug. The drill can then be removed and the off-take banjo fitted, complete with a dedicated Protecta-Line Mechanical Compression End Connector to accept the 25mm Protecta-Line service pipe.
