The Right Choice for High and Low-Rise Installations PVC DWV Pipe & Fittings (LRS-25 & HRS-2550)

LRS-25 is the cost-effective staple for contractors and engineers specifically designed for low-rise and light commercial applications where DWV systems do not run through an air space or plenum.

HRS-2550 is the perfect solution when it comes to installing DWV systems in high-rise and plenum applications, where heavy cast iron and copper piping used to be the only option for meeting existing fire and smoke regulations.

Why royal Plumbing Solutions?

• Less expensive than metal, won’t corrode or deteriorate and has high performance at extreme temperatures.

How to install

• Installation does not require the use of torch and lead pots, thereby eliminating a significant fire hazard.

The one nice thing is that the [PVC] pipe itself is a lot lighter and easier to handle [compared to cast iron] — less chance of employees injuring themselves.

Alberta Civic Centre Saves Time with ProPress Founded in 1910, the town of Vulcan, Alberta was named by a surveyor who enjoyed Roman mythology. Vulcan’s civic centre has an outdoor, seasonal pool that needed to be retrofitted. They installed around 500 Viega ProPress fittings, ranging in size from 3 ⁄4” to 4”, at the civic center.

They estimated that using conventional soldering methods would have easily added an extra week to their timetable. Using only Viega ProPress, they completed the project in a month.

With prep and fittings, it’s usually about half an hour per joint. Using Viega ProPress, you can do it in under 30 seconds.

And your hands are clean!

One-piece Toilets Save Time and Space One-piece toilets offer exceptional performance in a smaller footprint. They have lower-profile tanks that can help a petite bathroom seem more spacious, and they fit conveniently under many bathroom countertops.

Some one-piece toilets have a compact elongated bowl, which will fit in the space of a round-front toilet.

One-piece toilets are easier to clean than two-piece toilets, thanks to their bowl design and seamless tanks. And models with concealed or skirted trapways are easier still. They’re also simpler to install, because you don’t have to attach the tank to the bowl. And all KOHLER one-piece toilets include a toilet seat.

TELL YOUR CUSTOMER ABOUT HOMEOWNER BENEFITS 1. Easy to Use. Simply hold your hand over the sensor to activate.

2. Hygienic. Going touchless means fewer germs to pick up or leave behind.

3. No Wiring Needed. Powered by 4 AA batteries (included).

4. Concealed Trapway. Sleek design with low-profile floor bolts make cleaning easy.

The San Souci one-piece toilet offers a sleek, contemporary design combined with KOHLER touchless flush. Just hold your hand over the tank sensor to activate the flush. No handle to touch means fewer germs to pick up or leave behind. This toilet features innovative AquaPiston technology, a patented flush engine that delivers a fast, powerful, and virtually plugfree flush. A 1.28-gallon flush provides significant water savings of up to 16,500 gallons per year, compared to a 3.5-gallon toilet, without sacrificing performance.

Raupex® Pipe Outperforms Plumbing Pipe and Compatible Fitting Systems Fast, easy installation. Better flow rates. Corrosion resistance.

UV protection. Proven longevity. High performance. Simply put, PEXa outperforms the alternatives.

More than one billion feet of RAUPEX® UV shield PEXa plumbing pipe has been installed around the world over the last 40 years.

RAUPEX is a universal PEXa plumbing pipe that can be used with any of the fitting systems listed below without compromising the pipe’s 25-year limited warranty.

What Exactly is Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX)?

Cross-linked polyethylene is polyethylene (PE) which has undergone a change in molecular structure where the polymer chains are chemically linked, crosslinked (X), with each other to form a three-dimensional network. The result is a flexible thermoset polymer with improved mechanical, thermal and chemical properties.

Similar to a Chain-Link Fence Like a chain-link fence, PEX will expand with excessive pressure and then return to its original shape when the pressure is removed – so PEX pipe will usually allow the expansion of water that freezes inside when it has room to expand evenly along its length. Noncrosslinked pipe is rigid. It may resist higher pressure before initial expansion, but once it does deform and expand, it is forever changed and weakened.
