Building Regulations Part H: Sanbra Solvent Waste Pipe blog heading

Building Regulations are continuously being updated and amended in order to provide safer living and working environments for us all. According to the current Building Regulations Technical Guidance Document (Part H), compliant solvent waste pipe to EN1329 with a minimum wall thickness of 3mm should always be used for soil and waste water disposal applications throughout Ireland.

Adhering to Building Regulations

Sanbra Fyffe pride themselves on being a reliable source within the marketplace for high-quality products that adhere to the highest standards and certifications. That said, our product development team regularly introduces new product SKUs to ensure our range meets the current Building Regulations within Ireland.

Sanbra Solvent Waste Pipe is available in various sizes, with a wall thickness from 1.8mm to 3mm. Our solvent waste pipe with 3mm wall thickness is manufactured from PVC-U to comply with EN1329 and the Building Regulations Part H. PVC-U is a plastic piping system designed specifically for soil and waste gravity discharge within a building structure.

It’s important that both plumbers and installers acknowledge Building Regulations as a “set of legal requirements for the design and construction of new buildings, extensions and material alterations to and certain changes of use in existing buildings”. These regulations are covered under the Building and Control Acts 1990 to 2014.
