Mill test certificate, LPCB certificate, FM certificate and UL certificate provided with every London shipment for LFB, LPC and insurer approval.<\/p>\n

BS EN 10255 \/ BS EN 10216-1 metric dimensions.<\/strong> Aydin Boru stocks metric DN sizes per BS EN 10255 and BS EN 10216-1 for BS EN 12845 system design, matching Victaulic, Pegler and Grinnell LPCB-certified metric sprinkler pipe dimensions.<\/p>\n

Dual metric and imperial capability.<\/strong> For US-specified London data centre and pharmaceutical projects (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, GSK), Aydin Boru also stocks ASTM A53 Schedule 40 and A135 Schedule 10 imperial sizes for NFPA 13-specified systems.<\/p>\n

Ready-to-install grooved ends.<\/strong> All stock pipe ships with roll-grooved ends per AWWA C606 \/ BS EN ISO 21003, eliminating contractor field grooving and reducing London labour costs by 15 to 25 percent on typical sprinkler installation.<\/p>\n
