We share our expertise through our specification manual, this website and our technical support department. This way you can apply the best available technology in jointing, fixing system and material for the specific challenges you face.

The Akavent high-rise soil & waste system combines the following technologies:


Akavent logoaerator fittings

convenient installation


Akavent aerator fittings are available in the diameters 110 and 160 mm. The four integrated 45ยบ bends break the fall of the water while keeping the stack in one line.

Akavent aerators are versatile in use because of the possibility to create connections in 75 and 110 mm.

When prefabricated pipe segments are used per floor, installation of the low weight akavent system is even easier.

Akatherm logo snap sockets

for sure

The ideal jointing method for making a connection to an Akavent is the snap socket.

This offers the following benefits:
- Pull-tight joints if a groove is made into the connecting pipe
- Optimal sealing with the snap-ring centring and supporting the pipe
- Long-term reliability because the snap-ring protects the seal from
dirt

 

Akatherm logo PE pipe system

 

low weight and durability

Akatherm drainage systems are made from High Density PolyEthylene (PE). The low weight, impact resistance and flexibility of this material make it the ideal material for high-rise applications.
For the connection to sanitary equipment a wide range of fittings is available.

 

 

 

Akafusion logo technology

simple, secure and fast jointing 

For jointing Akatherm PE pipe and fittings, we recommend our electrofusion system (Akafusion).
Electrofusion is the ideal method for jointing high-rise drainage systems as the pipe work can be easily welded using the handy Akafusion control box.
