Product Demo
Below is the product demo for the Instant Pipe Shutter, which demonstrates how the award winning product
can be used in a step-by-step guide. Use the '<<' and
'>>' buttons to step through the demo.
The Problem
Service holes in precast concrete or in-situ concrete
floors need to be formed oversized to ensure adequate clearance for
pipes / cables that need to be installed at a later date. After the service
pipes have been installed, the Principle Contractor is left with the
task of providing shuttering to the formed hole, to enable concrete
infill.
At present, the common practice is to fix timber boarding flush
with the surface of the floor. This process involves cutting a board
to size, cutting a circle(s) to fit around the pipes(s), drilling
holes and fixing with screws.
Shuttering around a soil pipe is a difficult and time consuming
process, often requiring the need to work off a ladder. This process is slow and expensive compared to the new Instant
Pipe Shutter.
Our Solution
The Beresford's Flooring Ltd Instant Pipe Shutter is an easy,
quick, safe and re-usable alternative to traditional shuttering
methods. It is a thin but strong plastic two piece former that fits
snugly around the soil pipe and clips into place to provide a
shutter to the complete circumference of the pipe. It is secured
with a single pin. Cable ties are then inserted through the Instant
Pipe Shutter and tied off to short lengths of rebar above.
There is no need for any power tools or screw fixings. The whole
process can be achieved from floor level, as the pipe can be
shuttered before final pipe placement. Alternatively, the Instant
Pipe Shutter can be fixed in-situ if the soil pipe is already in
place.
