Polypipe Building Products has launched a new barrier pipe solution designed to ensure the safe delivery of drinking water through redeveloped sites that may have been contaminated by previous industrial and commercial use.

Polyguard protects drinking water against a wide range of potential contaminants including organic, inorganic, corrosive and toxic elements.

Ideal for private and social housing developers’, Polyguard offers a comprehensive range of both pipe and brassware fittings. The fittings are made from DZR brass, which is impenetrable to contamination, so there is no need to cover the fittings or wrap joints.

The pipe is constructed from two layers of polyethylene, adhered to a layer of aluminium. The inner layer of polyethylene carries the water while the outer layer provides protection for the aluminium layer form damage. Brown stripes on the outer layer ensure the pipework is easily identified onsite.

Polyguard is available in three pipe sizes – 25, 32 and 63mm and is approved under regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000 and conforms to necessary standards.
