<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 />

bottle trap is a chic nuance for the contemporary<br />

Australian bathroom.<br />

Designed to complement chrome accessories,<br />

tapware and wastes, the Raymor bottle trap exudes<br />

style and makes a feature of something usually<br />

hidden behind a shroud, pedestal or vanity.<br />

Perfect for any bathroom from a powder room<br />

with minimal space to a grand home spa with all<br />

the extra features, Raymor bottle traps are now<br />

available nationally in square and round options.<br />

KLUDI TAPWARE<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 />

��������<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 />

to use gas detectors now<br />

available through <strong>Tradelink</strong><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 />
