CLAY IS THE WAY TO FUTURE-PROOF DRAINAGE!
Hepworth Clay Drainage System is the ideal choice for below ground drainage due to the superior strength and sustainability of its vitrified clay pipes. The 100% natural and recyclable pipes are tested and approved to BS EN 295 to ensure quality, and when correctly installed have a lifetime expectancy of at least 100 years.
Wavin HEPWORTH CLAY pipes, couplings, bends and branches are your sustainable solution.
Available now: The Hepworth Clay Range: SuperSleve 100-300mm clay pipes, fittings and gullies
- 100mm X 1.6m (711543)
- 150mm X 1.75m (712058)
- 225mm X 1.75m (505653)
- 300mm X 2m (552795)
The strength of clay drainage enables recycled aggregate to be used as a bedding material, which reduces costs and environmental impact during construction. It’s resistant to many chemicals and strong enough to accommodate non-uniform sub-soils on brownfield sites. Clay pipes’ resistance to high water pressure jetting means more blockages can be cleared first time. SuperSleve pipe has a Lifetime Jetting Guarantee (7,500 psi at a flow rate not exceeding 20 gals/min held static for 5 minutes).
Hepworth Clay is the only calcinated roller kiln pipe in the world which produces a straighter pipe than traditional clay. In addition, short length pipes reduce cutting and construction time on site and help to ensure the integrity of the seal is never compromised.
