Seven risers out of a total of twenty-three have been installed so far, with XPress Copper fittings in sizes up to 54mm being used.
All the Yorkshire products on the risers use heat-free jointing techniques.
XPress Copper fittings are compressed onto copper tube using a press-fit tool to achieve a sound joint.
Tectite Pro push-fit quarter turn ball valves have a full bore design providing enhanced flow.
They are jointed through a simple push action, which requires no additional operations such as twisting or locking, and can also be demounted.
Tectite Sprint push-fit fittings provide a low profile and mechanically strong joint to copper tube, PEX or PB pipe.
The risers have been designed and installed by Integra Utility Services; the Developer and Utility Services Division of Severn Trent Metering Services.
Nigel Brewer, Operational Supervisor with Integra, has used XPress Copper fittings on previous projects.
"It's quick, clean and a great product", says Nigel.
"It's loads quicker than soldering or brazing a joint, particularly in the larger sizes, and the fact that it's heat-free and no Hot Works Permit is needed is a real advantage." Speaking about the project, Yorkshire's Sales Development Manager Martin Dowey said, "Heat-free products like Tectite and XPress provide installers and developers with significant installed cost savings".
"Integra is already seeing the benefits at The Arena, and is now using our products on other projects".
XPress press-fit fittings and System tubes are available in a variety of material options for a range of applications in sizes up to 108mm.
The Tectite range of push-fit fittings also comprises different material and applications options, and is available in sizes up to 54mm.
