Pegler Yorkshire has raised the bar by being the first manufacturer to achieve the prestigious BSI Kitemark across its range of push-fit fittings.
Received for its VSH Tectite Classic, Pro and Sprint ranges from 15 to 54mm the BS EN 1254-6:2012 certification assures plumbing and heating professionals of the quality and value of this product range. The range will now boast the esteemed Kitemark which demonstrates regular independent batch testing and auditing to assure the integrity of the products.
Pegler's Push Fittings Product Manager commented: “Receiving this endorsement from the world renowned BSI can only serve to reaffirm our commitment to customers for high performance and quality by providing the best products on the market. And, to be the first manufacturer to attain this certification supports our stance of continually pushing the boundaries of connect and control systems and solutions that provide tangible benefits to not only our customers but the built environment as a whole.”
The VSH Tectite range of fittings stretches across a global market and is used by plumbing and heating professionals operating within the domestic and commercial sectors. VSH Tectite has become the choice product for many installers due to its unique and unrivalled features such as
grip first grab rings which prevent any risk of full bore blow offs, pre-lubricated seals for reduced insertion force and a cooper, DZR brass or stainless bodies. The range is suitable for jointing with a wide range of tube materials, including copper, flexible metal, PEX and PB and a variety of steel including stainless and carbon. Additional features include fixed non-demountable and demountable options.
Furthermore, VSH Tectite offers speed of installation and therefore provides installed cost savings, it negates the need for a hot works permit which also saves time immediately after installation as the VSH Tectite system is intrinsically clean, there is no need for adhesive curing or long flushing times.
The Manager continued: “The Pegler name is already synonymous with quality however, Kitemark certification for VSH Tectite provides independent recognition that we strive to deliver high quality assured products, systems and solutions. Our commitment to meet current and future standards is on-going therefore guaranteeing that we will continually strive to attain the latest and highest standards.”
“When specifying or installing a product it is imperative that customers understand the quality, and its intrinsic value. Our research has shown that manufacturer’s guarantees coupled with recognised and highly acclaimed industry standards instantly reassure customers of the quality and reliability of a product,” concluded The Manager.
