<strong>VIEGA</strong>: <strong>THE</strong> <strong>GREATEST</strong> <strong>COPPER</strong><br />
<strong>CONNECTION</strong> <strong>IS</strong> NOW MORE AFFORDABLE<br />
Until December 31, you can pay off<br />
your Viega tool in six easy installments<br />
PLUS during the repayment period you’ll<br />
receive a 10% rebate on any fi ttings you<br />
purchase up to the value of your tool!<br />
When it comes to connecting copper tube, nothing<br />
is more effi cient than the Viega Propress system.<br />
Not only does it save you time on the job, it<br />
produces a superior connection every time, giving<br />
you the confi dence to connect the tubes and walk<br />
away without a second thought.<br />
NO HEAT, FLAME OR FUSS<br />
<strong>IS</strong> NECESSARY – <strong>THE</strong><br />
CONS<strong>IS</strong>TENT PRESSING<br />
FORCE ENSURES A<br />
SECURE AND PERMANENT<br />
<strong>CONNECTION</strong> EVERY TIME.<br />
Viega tools are quality Swiss made products<br />
designed to withstand the rigours on site while<br />
delivering a quality joint every time. Unfortunately<br />
many plumbers do not get to experience this<br />
quality, effi ciency and peace-of-mind; instead<br />
focusing on the cost of the tool as the reason to not<br />
give Viega Propress a try.<br />
The worst part is it’s the plumbers who aren’t willing<br />
to invest in Viega that will benefi t from it the most.<br />
Thankfully <strong>Tradelink</strong>’s new promotion will help<br />
overcome the stress of investing a large sum of<br />
money up front and allow you to realise the benefi ts<br />
and value that Viega has to offer.<br />
For a limited time, both the 4B and Picco Propress<br />
tools are available to purchase on a six month<br />
payment plan, with the 4B available in two jaw sizes<br />
(DN15-50 and DN15-100) depending on your needs.<br />
The Picco is available for around $430 each month<br />
and the 4B including DN15-50 jaws for less than<br />
$750 per month.<br />
In addition to the payment plan, you’ll receive a<br />
10% rebate on all Viega fi ttings purchased during<br />
the repayment period, up to the value of the tool!<br />
That means if you invest in the Viega 4B with<br />
DN15-50 jaws and you purchase $7,500 worth of<br />
fi ttings, you’ll receive $750 back from <strong>Tradelink</strong> as a<br />
credit to your account once the tool is paid off.<br />
In this instance the rebate covers the cost of the<br />
fi nal repayment, but remember you can only receive<br />
a rebate equal to the value of the purchase price<br />
of the tool. If you purchase enough Viega Propress<br />
fi ttings during the repayment period the tool can be<br />
free.<br />
This offer is strictly limited and only available<br />
from <strong>Tradelink</strong> Plumbing Centres until the end<br />
of December so get in quick and make a great<br />
connection today!<br />
For more information about the Viega<br />
Propress tools, speak with the team at<br />
your local <strong>Tradelink</strong> Plumbing Centre, call<br />

SAFETY BASICS<br />
The Commonwealth, along with every<br />
state and territory, has legislation to<br />
cover health and safety in the workplace.<br />
These laws provide each person in every<br />
Australian workplace with specifi c legal<br />
responsibilities to ensure the health and<br />
safety of themselves and others.<br />
Where the requirements of these laws are not met,<br />
stiff fi nancial penalties and jail terms may apply.<br />
Although each jurisdiction has its own laws, the<br />
central features are the same.<br />
Employers carry the main responsibility for health<br />
and safety in the workplace. They are required by<br />
a ‘duty of care’ principle to show due diligence<br />
in protecting the health, safety and welfare of<br />
employees, visitors, contractors, general public and<br />
others in the workplace.<br />
Employers must establish that all reasonably<br />
practical measures have been taken to control<br />
hazards against all possible injuries and illnesses<br />
arising from the workplace.<br />
Employees have a responsibility to take reasonable<br />
care of themselves and others, and to cooperate<br />
with employers in matters of health and safety.<br />
Manufacturers and suppliers of plants and<br />
substances have a responsibility to ensure their<br />
products are safe when properly used, and to<br />
provide information on the correct use and potential<br />
hazards associated with the use of the products in<br />
the workplace.<br />
Apart from the legal responsibility, morally, no<br />
employer wants to see his or her employees<br />
injured. Each year in Australia approximately 230<br />
people are killed at work, with a further 130,000<br />
�������������������<br />

��������<br />
������<br />
workers compensation claims for work related<br />
injuries or illness.<br />
In September 2008, the Workplace Heath and Safety<br />
Regulation 2008 was introduced, and had several<br />
changes from the previous 1997 regulation. Some<br />
of the most noticeable changes are the stricter<br />
licensing requirements for persons performing work<br />
that is deemed high risk or involves the operation of<br />
earthmoving equipment or particular cranes.<br />
The specifi c classes of work falling within these<br />
categories were previously known as ‘prescribed<br />
occupations’. These changes were made to align<br />
more closely with the national licensing model, as<br />
part of the State Government’s commitment to the<br />
national harmonization of OHS laws.<br />
Further harmonization initiatives include the power<br />
for safety representatives to issue Provisional<br />
Improvement Notices (PINs) and a nationally<br />
recognized general introduction card. A new<br />
scaffolding code of practice has also been launched<br />
to specifi cally address the risks associated with<br />
swing stages.<br />

Plumbing Centres.<br />
There are a number of ways to<br />
detect carbon monoxide (CO)<br />
gas, however HLP Controls<br />
have two reliable and accurate<br />
electronic detectors to ensure<br />
any gas leaks are quickly<br />
identifi ed.<br />
For a fi xed CO gas detection<br />
solution, the GAS Alarm KaD is<br />
a small, self contained battery<br />
powered CO gas detector that<br />
looks similar to a smoke detector.<br />
Giving off an 85dB alarm when<br />
CO gas exceeds dangerous<br />
levels, the KaD is designed to<br />
be mounted on a wall or ceiling<br />
where a small inbuilt sensor can<br />
detect CO gas from cook tops,<br />
car exhausts, wood fi res or gas<br />
appliances.<br />
The AZ7701 model is a portable<br />
CO gas detector, perfect for<br />
OH&S staff, centre managers<br />
or HVAC installers who need<br />
to regularly visit locations with<br />
potentially high levels of CO gas<br />
or as a method of monitoring<br />
generator output in closed spaces.<br />
Both alarms are set to alert users<br />
of gas levels from 0 to 999 PPM<br />
(25-999 PPM for AZ7701) and<br />
are powered by batteries, with<br />
a backlit LED display and three<br />
LED indicators.<br />

HVAC 101: CTS <strong>COPPER</strong> FLANGE ADAPTOR<br />
Designed to provide 100% electrolysis<br />
protection, the CTS copper fl ange<br />
adaptor is the latest addition to the<br />
<strong>Tradelink</strong> HVAC range.<br />
Not only does the CTS copper fl ange adaptor<br />
ensure longer life and greater integrity between the<br />
copper tube and the fl anged device, the simple and<br />
fail safe installation method saves time and labour<br />
costs as well, making every job risk free.<br />
Unlike other copper fl ange adaptors, the CTS<br />
product includes a patented EDPM insulator for<br />
added protection and confi dence in the system.<br />
This simple and unique feature puts CTS a cut<br />
above the rest and is critical in ensuring confi dence<br />
in correct Flange installation.<br />
Installation is simple – just place the backing fl ange<br />
over the copper tube and insert the copper adaptor.<br />
Braise the adaptor, allow to cool then place the<br />
insulator over the adaptor and between the backing<br />
fl ange. Bolt up the fl ange and you’re done.<br />
Due to the fl ange adaptor being able to rotate on<br />
the tube, alignment of the bolt holes is quick and<br />
simple.<br />
The range suits a number of different installations<br />
with various types of adaptors available including<br />
ANSI, DIN, Table D/E, Table H and galvanized<br />
Table D/E fl anges. ANSI fl anges are suitable for<br />
all gas applications up to 2Mpa. CTS Flanges are<br />
manufactured in Australia from Australian copper<br />
tube and are available now in most <strong>Tradelink</strong><br />
Branches.<br />

GRAND MASTER FLASH<br />
SAVES <strong>THE</strong> PLANET<br />
Manufacturing roofi ng, refrigeration,<br />
solar and air conditioning rubber pipe<br />
fl ashings, fi ttings and seals since 1968<br />
from humble beginnings in the USA,<br />
Aztec Australasia will ensure your next<br />
solar install seals properly all the while<br />
being gentle on the environment.<br />
Continuously researching, investigating and<br />
implementing new policies to protect and<br />
conserve our natural resources and reduce energy<br />
consumption, Aztec Australasia is a company on<br />
the forefront of environmental passion.<br />
Proud to say they recycle scrap materials from<br />
the production process, Aztec also designed and<br />
produced the worlds very fi rst and only bonded<br />
washer/screw head powder paint and assembly<br />
machine in use today. With harmful VOC’s no<br />
longer a concern for Aztec, they decided to share<br />
their revolutionary painting process with the rest of<br />
the world.<br />
When they aren’t reducing the impact their industry<br />
has on the planet, Aztec are busy manufacturing a<br />
range of ingenious roof fl ashings for both tile and<br />
metal roof installations.<br />
Made from EPDM or silicone, Aztec’s Master Flash ®<br />
BACKREST<br />
OPTIONS<br />
®<br />
products are compounded specifi cally for maximum<br />
resistance to weathering caused by the ozone and<br />
ultraviolet light. Additionally, most products can be<br />
customised within fi ve minutes to suit the job at<br />
hand, including altering the sleeve and base.<br />
The soft aluminium base is designed to form a<br />
seal on most panel confi gurations and roof pitches<br />
regardless of pipe location. This means it can be<br />
bent and moulded to the shape and pitch of the<br />
roof; even the contours of a galvanised roof panel.<br />
Not only can the sleeve be cut to suit the correct<br />
tube size, it’s clever design accommodates<br />
vibration and movement caused by natural<br />
expansion/contraction, ensuring a consistent seal<br />
with a 20 year warranty.<br />
Also, depending on the application, some products<br />
such as the Middy and Solar Flash have multiple<br />
ports making them perfect for solar installations.<br />
While the larger port is dedicated to copper<br />
requirements, the smaller ports are perfect for any<br />
associated cabling.<br />
