70 PRODUCTS Flush and save every drop of water The Save-a-Flush is a displacement device that fits in the toilet tank. Independent studies in the UK have shown Save-a-Flush to be the most cost- effective way of saving real amounts of water in the home, up to 1.2ℓ of water per flush Save-a-Flush is a laminate envelope containing super absorbent polymers, which is inserted into toilet cisterns. Before insertion into the cistern, the product is flat and very light, and once placed in water, the polymers absorb water and expand for approximately six hours. Perfect clamping solution Band-It has centre-punch clamps that are also used in the plumbing industry as a temporary clamping solution. With a width of 15.9mm and 9.6mm, the clamps are available in grade 201 stainless steel, and are supplied in boxes of 25, 50, or 100 clamps, depending on the diameter required. The Save-a-Flush can be applied to all toilet cisterns, including the modern dual flush cisterns and comes in 1ℓ or 1.2ℓ sizes. It is also easy and quick to fit. The clamps, which are locked from the impact of a hammer-driven conical punch, are not recommended for fittings that may crack as a result. They are ideal for fixing and attaching hoses. The user-friendly BAT300 ratchet-action tensioning tool makes the clamps easy to install. For high-volume installations, there is the SM1700 pneumatic centre-punch clamp tool.
