Wavin Plastics's OSMA Tegra 600 non-entry inspection chamber has passed rigorous industry tests to achieve a certificate from the BBA. It is said to be designed for easy installation, inspection and maintenance to non-adoptable drains.

Daily flushing of internal drainage is unavoidable, but silence is golden, especially in flats and apartments. OSMA SiTech is the new noise push-fit soil system now available from Wavin Plastics. It provides a cost-effective and time-saving solution for professional plumbers. As well as being an easy-fix push-fit system, SiTech is made from a mineral-filled polypropylene, which has the effect of increasing pipe density. This means that it only needs to be encased in 25mm mineral wool wrap where contact between the pipe and the building structure cannot be avoided. This therefore cuts down on installation time, wrapping and tooling costs. The product has been independently tested for sound reducing performance and helps to achieve the higher acoustic performance standards in buildings as required by the Building Regulations Part E 2003.

Water is then released at a controlled rate in a number of ways including soakaways into the ground, public sewers systems or watercourses. The structure is wrapped in a geotextile or geomembrane.

Bringing rainwater under control and guiding it efficiently to the outlet, Wavin Plastics has developed the OSMA StormLine. The product has a classic ogee profile with a high front edge which has been designed to ensure the safe capture of high volumes of roof run-off under storm conditions. The high fronted gutter profile conceals the edge of the roof lines resulting in clean lines. The upper edge shape also incorporates an inner rail for concealed fixing of hanging brackets without impeding flow. Internal ribs improve the flow of water to the outlet, preventing leaves sticking to the gutter base and reducing the risk of blockages. All StormLine fittings have side fixing wings which have retainers for first fit screws, allowing for rise and fall adjustment to ensure line and position. Back fixing holes provide an alternative fixing option. The product's outlets connect to the company's SquareLine or RoundLine downpipe systems without the need for adaptors.
