ACO pipe

When impacted stainless steel will probably bend only, which allows to plan the repair work without having an emergency situation on site and production stop.
The risk of cracking in fragile materials is much higher than in stainless steel.

ACO pipe requires no additional firecollars at installation and produces no toxic fumes in case of fire.
ACO pipe is classified as Class A1, non-combustible product.

Lightweight material
Easy to handle
Durable (withstands installation & handling)
Demands less fixing points (less brackets and less work)

ACO pipe has low coefficient of thermal expansion when compared to plastics. The coefficient of thermal expansion is close to concrete.
Push – fit connection enables compensation for thermal expansion.

ACO pipe requires less fixing points than both plastic and Cast Iron.
Plastic: due to the risk of pipe sagging, good fixing is critical in plastic pipes. Requiring more fixing points and more labour.
Cast Iron: ACO pipe is much lighter when compared to cast Iron, making its fixation easier and quicker.

The use of ACO stainless steel drainage facilitates an effective and complex protection against rodents.
Stainless steel itself cannot be chewed-through by rodents.
It is recommended to use additional protection, such as rat-stop fitting, and the use foul air traps in the gullies.

Thanks to very good thermal expansion features of stainless steel there is no need to install expansion sockets for applications with temperature under 60°C
For applications where temperature exceeds 60°C we recommend expansion sockets in straight parts each 15 meters
For applications where temperature exceeds 80°C we recommend expansion sockets in straight parts each 10 meters
