<strong>MiTOOLS</strong> <strong>HAVE</strong> <strong>ARRIVED</strong>!<br />
When you are just starting out, you<br />
need all the help you can get. Once<br />
Apprentices have completed the fi rst<br />
three months of their Apprenticeship<br />
they become eligible for a payment<br />
of $800, thanks to the Tools for the<br />
Trade initiative offered by the Federal<br />
Government.<br />
After consultation with our customers we have<br />
developed the <strong>Tradelink</strong> MiTools kit to provide<br />
apprentices with a comprehensive kit that gives<br />
them exactly what they need when starting out and<br />
stops them borrowing your tools!<br />
The MiTools kit is a 37 piece, Trade Quality<br />
Plumbers Toolkit with tools supplied by Kincrome<br />
and Super Ego, one of the world leaders in the<br />
manufacture of plumbing tools. This isn’t just<br />
a starter kit, but something that should last<br />
throughout the Apprenticeship and beyond.<br />
It comes in a massive 62ltr heavy duty, fully welded<br />
Aluminium Tool box which measures 335mm x<br />
765mm x 250mm and has fl ush fi tted chrome<br />
plated handles. To keep all the new equipment safe<br />
and sound it is also key lockable.<br />
Just some of the quality items included in the<br />
MiTools kit are:<br />
• An I-BOX 600mm magnetic level with its’ own<br />
blow-moulded case<br />
• 14 piece screwdriver set<br />
• 2 hickory handled claw and club hammers<br />
• 3 different size wrenches<br />
• 3 different size safety handled chisels<br />
• Hacksaw<br />
• Left and right cut tin snips<br />
• heavy duty calking gun; and<br />
• safety glasses<br />
ALSO INCLUDED, FREE OF<br />
CHARGE, IN THE MITOOLS<br />
KIT IS AN INSTRUCTIONAL<br />
DVD PROVIDED BY VIEGA<br />
ON HOW TO USE AND GET<br />
THE MOST OUT OF THEIR<br />
PROPRESS SYSTEM.<br />
The MiTools kit can be purchased by a plumber,<br />
on behalf of their apprentice, or directly by the<br />
apprentice. To make reclaiming easy <strong>Tradelink</strong> have<br />
also included the forms necessary to reclaim the<br />
cost of the kit.<br />
The MiTools kit will be available from<br />
July 2012 in all <strong>Tradelink</strong> branches for<br />
$799, including GST.

NEW RANGE OF RAUTITAN PIPES<br />
FROM REHAU<br />
Come into your local <strong>Tradelink</strong> branch and see<br />
the new range of REHAU RAUTITAN water<br />
service pipes.<br />
Demand for ‘green buildings’ has increased<br />
signifi cantly and with that increased demand for<br />
recycled and rain water distributions systems,<br />
particularly in commercial projects, REHAU has<br />
now increased the range of Lilac (recycled) and<br />
green (rain) pipe systems from 16 to 63mm.<br />
The sleek new colour of the RAUTITAN Platinum<br />
provides a distinct high quality appearance for your<br />
installation but most importantly provides a distinct<br />
difference from the black RAUTITAN PX fi ttings to<br />
allow for an easier and quicker visual inspection of<br />
joint security.<br />
STEP 1: Cut tube, debur,<br />
and remove surface<br />
contamination<br />
The Viega sleeve is recommended for all Type D tube<br />
and is also suitable for existing installations of Type B tube.<br />
Save time in marking hot water pipes with paint<br />
and stickers by using the RAUTITAN Red, which<br />
ensures easy hot water pipe identifi cation, every<br />
time.<br />
HYDROBOSS TEMPERING VALVES<br />
A new range of Watermark approved Tempering<br />
Valve products available exclusively to <strong>Tradelink</strong><br />
and Northerns.<br />
Engineered to meet the requirements of Australian<br />
Standard AS 4032.2, the HYDROBOSS<br />
Tempering Valve product range includes both<br />
standard and solar variants and is available with<br />
either 15mm or 20mm compression connections.<br />
The HYDROBOSS Tempering Valve range<br />
has been especially designed for installation in<br />
residential or commercial premises to provide<br />
the controlled delivery of hot water to bathroom<br />
facilities at an appropriate temperature. The outlet<br />
temperature is factory set at 50°C but is fully<br />
adjustable from 40°C to 50°C to meet end use<br />
temperature needs.<br />
The HYDROBOSS Solar Tempering Valve<br />
is designed and built to handle the higher<br />
temperatures typically associated with solar hot<br />
water systems.<br />
Both valves incorporate an anti-scald thermal shut<br />
off system designed to shut off the outlet water<br />
fl ow should the cold water supply be interrupted,<br />
reducing the risk of scalding to the user or their<br />
loved ones.<br />

WORKING WITH GAS<br />
In March 2009 two plumbing apprentices<br />
were seriously injured while purging<br />
the main (natural gas) supply line to a<br />
residential tower. Flammable gases from<br />
the supply line ignited when released into<br />
a plant room of the residential tower block,<br />
which contained multiple ignition sources.<br />
While an investigation is still underway to establish<br />
the cause, the incident serves as an important<br />
reminder of the potentially catastrophic results of<br />
the uncontrolled release of fl ammable gas within a<br />
building.<br />
It is critical to follow standard control measures with<br />
relation to the purging of large volume installations<br />
of fuel gas. It is also important to consider the size<br />
(both the diameter and length) of the installation,<br />
the pressure of the gas supply and the type of gas<br />
(heavier or lighter than air).<br />
The purge outlet should be at least six metres<br />
away from any ignition source and well clear of any<br />
opening into a building. The purge should not be<br />
commenced until an area has been defi ned, made<br />
safe and cleared of all ignition sources including<br />
naked fl ames, pilot lights and electrical switchgear.<br />
Where the network operator permits other persons<br />
to purge a service pipe, the purge is to be carried<br />
out in accordance with the network operator’s<br />
procedures.<br />
Is the environment surrounding the installation likely<br />
to be impacted? Consider also the need for an inert<br />
gas purge and the best method of verifying that the<br />
purge is complete. Perhaps most important is the<br />
requirement for personnel with adequate experience<br />
and responsibility carry out purging operations.<br />
Contact Dial Before You Dig to obtain plans of<br />
mains in the street. Identify the location of the<br />
mains to determine if they are within the area of<br />
your planned work. Use a pipe locator if available or<br />
contact a third party pipe locating service provider.<br />
If working inside a property, identify that the<br />
house/dwelling is connected to gas by visually<br />
checking for a gas meter, valve, exposed pipe etc.<br />
or interviewing the property owner and if required,<br />
contact your local gas authority to arrange for a<br />
temporary disconnection.<br />
If excavating or boring near or over the main, NEVER<br />
use machinery – always dig carefully by hand and<br />
expose pipes to ensure adequate clearance between<br />
your activity/pipe/conduit and the gas main.<br />

and lower end-user costs.<br />
Oventrop’s differential pressure regulators,<br />
Hydromat DP, are proportional regulators designed<br />
to work without auxiliary energy to ensure constant<br />
differential pressure within a necessary proportional<br />
band across a system.<br />
As the differential pressure in the installation<br />
increases, the valve disc closes down and then<br />
re-opens as the pressure falls. The regulator<br />
reduces the excess differential pressure until the<br />
set pressure in the pipe is reached.<br />
When used in conjunction with a manual balancing<br />
valve such as the Oventrop Hydrocontrol R or F,<br />
it will keep constant design fl ow at heating and<br />
cooling units.<br />
End user energy savings and reduced contractor<br />
hardware costs are achieved by installing the valve<br />
in the return line and connecting it via a capillary<br />
tube to the supply line.<br />
This suffi ciently services multiple units at once<br />
to minimise overfl ows, meaning valves are not<br />
required to be installed at each terminal. Instead, a<br />
single valve should be installed for an entire fl oor or<br />
branch in a building to regulate an entire zone.<br />
To ensure your system can be controlled by a<br />
Hydromat DP, they are available in two fl anged<br />
and two BSP threaded versions, all with their own<br />
presetting pressure<br />
options.<br />
The two BSP threaded<br />
versions are available<br />
in DN15-DN50, with<br />
presetting options of<br />
5-30kPa or 25-70kPa.<br />
The fl anged versions suit DN65-DN100 with<br />
presetting options of 20-100kPa or 40-180kPa.<br />
All Hydromat DP’s can operate to a maximum<br />
working temperature of 120°C and are constructed<br />
of either a cast iron (fl anged) or bronze (BSP) body,<br />
bronze bonnet, DZR resistant brass stem and a<br />
stainless steel seat and soft seal disc.<br />
