Pendock metal pipe boxing provides effective protection against damage while helping improve project aesthetics, when concealing external pipework, building services and utilities associated with low carbon district heating, plus air-source and ground-source heat pump installations.
Now available for specification on NBS Source, Pendock metal pipe boxing is bespoke manufactured to the individual project specifications from 2mm aluminium, as standard, and is available in two styles. CHM is a three-sided channel profile, for securing to a single flat surface, while the MXM is a two-sided 90-degree design for fixing to adjacent surfaces, such as walls and ceilings.
Both CHM and MXM are available with two fixing options, with EFF profiles having integrated external flanges on each side, enabling them to be readily secured with suitable fasteners, while IFA profiles are designed to be installed using separate, concealed fixing angles.
CHM and MXM profiles are also used to conceal fire sprinkler supply pipework mounted in open balconies, or externally to flats, to provide added security and weather resistance. In addition, as metal pipe boxing is non-combustible, it is used in high rise residential blocks to conceal interior sprinkler pipework where no sprinkler heads are present, such as communal areas.
Usually supplied with a PPC finish, which can be selected from any RAL colour to blend in or contrast with the surroundings, lengths of up to 4.0 metres, can be specified as standard, while other lengths and material thicknesses are available on request, as well as options to include perforations and hinged access hatches.
A range of dedicated accessories is available as part of the metal pipe boxing range, including internal and external corners, stop ends and joint covers, as well as fixing angles, access panels and TEK fixings, which can be colour coded if required.
Pendock metal pipe boxing is part the extensive Profiles range of pipe boxing and casings, which includes pre-formed plywood pipe and fire sprinkler boxing, as well as boiler pipe casings. A range of technical information is available online including PDF and DWG drawings as well as NBS specification clauses.
