Halifax Soil & Drain is a socketless, mechanically jointed cast iron drainage and wastewater system. It is designed to minimise installation difficulties and maintenance costs over its lifetime. This is a fit and forget system.
It provides all the benefits of conventional cast iron systems but also offers significant savings on installation costs, due to modern jointing techniques which employ ductile iron or stainless steel couplings.
The Halifax System is finished externally in a two part epoxy coating, red for above ground and grey for below ground.
The above ground Halifax Soil system has achieved an A1 fire rating
The complete range is fully compliant with both BS EN 877:1999 + A1:2006 & BS EN 877:2021 and has been tested and approved by BSI Kitemark
Fire Ratings
3rd Party Accreditation
Acoustic Properties
Independent, third party fire tests undertaken by BRE (Building Research Establishment) on a Halifax Soil system resulted in a classification of A2-s1, d0. This is the best rating currently possible for systems complying with BS EN 877
Acoustic Properties
3rd Party Accreditation
Acoustic Properties
It is desirable to reduce the ambient noise in any structure and especially so in hospitals, hotels, schools etc. As noted in Annexe F of BS EN 877, cast iron has excellent sound insulating properties due to its material density.
