Pipe Dreams – Pendock boxing for social housing

The Pendock Profiles range of pipe boxing and casing solutions is one of the most comprehensive available for social housing projects. Each product is designed for a specific purpose, but they are also versatile enough to be used on a range of pipe boxing applications.

For interior pipework, TK and MX pipe boxing can be used in most general applications, such as heating system or waste pipework, while MXF boxing is a dedicated concealment solution for fire sprinkler systems, where its widespread use is helping speed fire safety improvement projects across the UK.

In situations where exterior pipework needs to be concealed or protected from the risk of damage or tampering, the CHM and MXM metal pipe boxing range is designed to enclose services and utilities associated with the installation of low carbon district heating schemes, as well as air source or ground source heat pump installations

Also, as metal boxing is non-combustible, it is also used to conceal retrofitted interior sprinkler pipework in tower blocks where there are no sprinkler heads, such as in communal areas, to help comply with fire safety requirements.

Except for the metal boxing range, all products are manufactured from pre-formed plywood and are supplied pre-finished with a white resin impregnated décor paper. This removes the need for time consuming on-site fabrication or painting, which saves time and money, as Pendock boxing can typically be fitted in under half the time of site-made alternatives.

Concealing boiler pipework, valves, regulators and filters is equally simple with the BC range of boiler pipe casings, which are designed to be free standing. Four casing options are available, including jointed designs that can be supplied either factory assembled or as components for on-site assembly.

A three-sided channel pipe boxing, the CH range, is also available and is used for covering interior pipework in mid-wall, vertical and horizontal applications.
