64 PRODUCTS Stepping up the surface Setaplano is Geberit’s new shower surface, which has a smooth feeling and is easy to clean. The surface is easy to install as it has minimal individual parts. Many of the individual components are pre-mounted at the factory. One of the advantages of the pre-mounted shower surface is that it reduces the workload of the installer and also ensures maximum safety. The blue installation frame is made of powder-coated steel. Installing the feet requires them being clicked into place on the installation frame at the designated points, then fixed to the unfinished floor. The Setaplano shower surface includes a new, easy-to-clean trap that comes in two different models: one with a 30mm depth of water seal and a discharge capacity of more than 0.5 litres per second, and one with a An installation system 50mm depth of water seal and a discharge capacity of more than 0.65 litres per second.

The devices can easily be connected to the building’s own central heat generation system or local and district heating systems. This makes it possible to use renewable energy sources such as solar and geothermal power. Hansa’s new 3S installation system ensures that washbasin mixers can be fitted more efficiently than ever before. All the important components required for installation, such as a locking plate, a seal, and a nut, are integrated into one workpiece. This therefore eliminates the need to fiddle with small parts. Another advantage of the 3S installation system is that installation time is significantly reduced. The combination of stainless steel and high-strength fibreglass-reinforced plastic makes the components both mechanically and chemically resistant, and gives it a long service life — even when they are under extreme stress loads.

October 2017 Volume 23 I Number 8 The decentralised DHW station Flow 8000 supplies hygienic domestic hot water by heating the water as it flows through the device. An electronic control system ensures constant hot water temperatures. Complete insulation of the Flow 8000 minimises heat losses. The Flow 8000 is available with two different output ratings for domestic water heating: as a 35kW and a 50kW device. On the heating system side, the Flow 8000 can be integrated into mixed and unmixed heating circuits. Its integration is very simple because an electronic valve automatically controls the hydraulic calibration. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT +27 (0) 12 381 3552. www.plumbingafrica.co.za
