Standpipe use within Thames Water regionWarning £1,000 Minimum Fine

Using an Unregulated Standpipe in the Thames Water area like any other area within the U.K is an offence under section 174 (3) of the Water Industry Act and will lead to prosecution.

People who flout the requirement to extract water in a legal & regulated manner unduly impact upon the bills of all water consumers as well as potentially compromising water pressure and quality. Detection of such illegal users is an extremely high priority and has resulted in convictions that apply a mandatory minimum fine of £1,000 plus associated water and court costs that can rise to a total cost of over £3,000.

Don’t run the risk!

Obtaining a legal standpipe is as easy as 1,2,3

1. Water LicenceObtaining a User Licence first and foremost is essential and is based upon the likely amount of water users may require on a daily basis. The licence fee is required to be paid in full prior to the issue of any subsequent standpipe.

Low User: Less than 1 m³ / dayAverage User: 1 to 10 m³ / dayHigh Demand: 10 to 20 m³ / day

If demand is likely to exceed 20 cubic metres per day a special agreement is required.

2. Which StandpipeWe will seek wherever possible to ensure that we match the ideal standpipe demanded by the requirements of your application

Bore Size: Standard 20mm for most everyday applications Larger Bore 40 / 60mm units for high velocity / volume requirements

Height Options: Standard 1.5m overall height or reduced height unit – 1m

Outlet Options: Single or Twin tap / Claw Coupling / 2” Outlet (20mm unit only) 3. Rental PeriodThe weekly cost of renting a standpipe reduces accordingly in favour of long term users

Short Term User: 1 week to 13 weeks maximum - standard rateMedium Term User: 13 weeks to 51 weeks maximum - discounted rateAnnual User: 52 week pre-paid yearly contract - super discounted rate

mechanical valve box cleaner

In response to customer demand Water Services has expanded its range of standard forged tools to include this selection of valve box cleaners.

These new tools have been designed to clear gullies and awkward cavities of debris and hazardous materials such as glass and hypodermic needles.

Though simple in design these valve box cleaning tools offer a most effective method of clearing an area before inspection or maintenance work begins.

The tool, once lowered into the valve box, uses two jaws, being opened and closed remotely by means of a lever at the top of the tool. This allows potentially lethal and often concealed debris to be removed quickly and efficiently, in compliance with today’s health and safety guidelines.

Water Services valve box cleaning tools are manufactured in 1m & 1.5m lengths as standard with any head configuration, custom lengths can be manufactured to suit customer requirements.

WHERE TO USE WATER SERVICES VALVESAvailable with compression or BSP parallel female ends, Water Services valves help eliminate the risk of contamination through backflow in a wide range of central heating and water service installations. Single check valves can, for example, be used to prevent backflow in central heating systems, to protect the mains water supply during the regeneration cycle of water softeners or be installed downstream of water meters to protect upstream mains from backflow. Water Services double check valves are suitable for ensuring the filling of primary heating circuits meets the requirements of Water Byelaw 14. Double check valves are advisable where a hose is connected to a hose union bib tap and should be installed as close to the tap as possible.

SIZE RANGEWater Services single and double check valves are available with compression ends in 15mm, 22mm and 28mm sizes and with BSP female threaded ends in sizes from 1⁄2” to 2”. Double check valves incorporate a 1⁄4” BSP centre test point.

STANDARDS AND APPROVALSWater Services valves have compression ends manufactured to BS 864 Part 2 and female parallel BSP ends manufactured to BS 21. Both single and double Water Services valves comply with the requirements of BS 6282 Part 1 and are UKWFBS listed.

WORKING PRESSURES AND FLOW RATESWater Services valves operate efficiently for fluids up to a maximum temperature of 100°C at a maximum pressure of 16 bar. Refer to BS 864 for limits for compression ends.

Water Services single and double check valves manufactured from DZR alloy provide installers and specifiers with high performance, cost effective valves for the prevention of contamination through backflow and back siphonage by allowing fluid to flow in one direction only.

The valves have many benefits, including silent operation, low pressure loss and a spring loaded mechanism allowing the valve to close without back pressure.
