WAVIN ADDS BLACK COVER AND FRAME TO ITS INNOVATIVE WAJ FOLLOWING CUSTOMER FEEDBACK Wavin has always been known for innovation and for over 40 years one of its leading products has been the Wavin Access Junction (WAJ). This is part of a Wavin sewer and drainage system, providing access to 110mm and 160mm diameter pipe. Developed and launched in Ireland its attraction spread rapidly to other countries. Today it continues to be a market leading Access Junction in the Irish market and one of Wavin’s most successful export products. Now, in response to customer feedback, Wavin has introduced an addition to the WAJ range in the form of a black frame to match the cover of the WAJ110, which adds to the aesthetic options of the system. Mindful of the drive to ensure visible products are aesthetically compatible with their environment, the WAJ black cover and frame, rolling out in June 2022, blends with black hard landscaping surfaces. Commenting on the WAJ, Wavin customer, Magna Construction, said: “Everywhere we have a bend or a downpipe, we install a WAJ. With inlets and outlets at the same level it is easy to rod. WAJ is triple sealed and has a structural integrity that brings peace of mind.” The Wavin Access Junction range provides access from surface level to a maximum depth of 600mm and is available in 10 flow profiles for the 110mm diameter and in four flow profiles for the 160mm diameter. All are complete with Wafix seals.
The range of flow profiles along with the same inlet and outlet invert level minimises the risk of blockages. All the inlets and outlets have the Wafix triple seal which provides a superior watertight seal whilst facilitating flexibility of installation misalignment up to a five-degree tolerance. The Wavin Access Junction base, riser, cover and frame are manufactured from PVC-U, which is a robust material to meet the requirements of the typical construction environment - for a fit and forget solution. Other key features and benefits of the WAJ include: -
Multiple options for maximum installation flexibility Fast, easy installation: no wet trades required Lightweight: no lifting equipment required Push-fit shaft sections: one or more can be used to achieve required invert depth Final shaft section can be cut to required length No additional trench excavation required.
The WAJ complies with EN 13598-1:2010 and Building regulations – Part H to maximum depth of 0.6m. For further information about the WAJ visit wavin.ie or to listen to customer testimonials visit wavin.ie/waj
