Why choose EN 877  Halifax Cast Iron Soil & Drain?

Hargreaves Foundry are market leading manufacturers of cast iron rainwater, soil and drainage.

The Halifax systems are socketless, mechanically jointed above and below cast iron systems, which are fully compliant with BS EN 877:1999 +A1:2006. Both systems have achieved a Kitemark from the British Standards Institute (BSI).

They are designed to minimise installation difficulties and maintenance costs over their lifetime. Hargreaves suggest you should consider them ‘fit and forget’ systems.

“It provides all the benefits of conventional cast iron systems but also offers significant savings on installation costs, due to modern jointing techniques which employ ductile iron or stainless steel couplings.”

The Halifax System is finished externally in a two part epoxy coating, red for above ground and grey for below ground.

Just 2 other benefits of choosing the Halifax Soil system:

  • Reduce the ambient noise in any structure and especially so in hospitals, hotels, schools etc. As noted in Annexe F of BS EN 877, “cast iron has excellent sound insulating properties due to its material density”.
  • Independent, third party fire tests undertaken by BRE (Building Research Establishment) on a Halifax Soil system resulted in a classification of A2-s1, d0. This  is the best rating currently possible for systems complying with BS EN 877.

The Kitemark and BBA certificate referred to can be downloaded from Hargreaves’ own website here: https://hargreavesfoundry.co.uk/soil-%26-drain
