The range provides a comprehensive offering of traditional socket & spigot pipes and fittings for soil and waste installations on the external facade of supplied with a black bitumen finish as standard. Once installed it is recommended to over-coat the system to touch up any scuffs incurred in transit and installation.

The cast iron system offers the ideal solution for conservation and heritage projects where a pipe system is required to blend sympathetically with the heritage building.

Features

• Pipes available from 50mm to 150mm diameters in standard lengths 0.6m, 0.9m, 1.2m and 1.8m.
• All products are based on imperial dimensions so ensuring compatibility with existing installations when replacing or extending pipework.
• Cold caulked joints can be made with 6mm caulking cord and black joint sealant both available from stock. (This method removes the requirement for using naked flames to melt lead on site).
• Traditional LCC Soil pipes are highly resistant to distortion caused by accident or vandalism
• Pipes and fittings are coated in a black bituminous coating for long term protection.
• Correctly installed and maintained Traditional LCC Soil systems can last in excess of 100 years and this long-life expectancy actually makes cast iron a cost-effective choice.
• Minimal maintenance requirements – occasional painting approximately every 10 years (inland areas).
• 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
• Low noise levels due to the sound deadening properties of cast iron.
• Ears can be added to any LCC soil fitting on request.
• All Premier soil products are manufactured in accordance with BS416.

NOTE: We do not recommend over-painting the black bitumen standard finish.

If you want your soil system in a colour other than black, to match in with our Cast Iron rainwater systems for example, we recommend our SimpleFIT Soil System.

• Quicker installation and reduced costs; can reduce installation time by up to 50%.
• No requirement for hazardous materials on site and minimal down time caused by inclement weather conditions delaying painting.
• Factory applied two-pack epoxy coated finish has a life expectancy of 10- 15 years (inland areas).
