Duker Cast Iron from Deks
One of our loyal customers, Frank Tannok, the Project Supervisor
from Fairfield Plumbing in Queensland explains his real life experiences with our
Duker range. Frank quotes "Duker cast iron can be a more time consuming installation
to PVC." However cast iron has better acoustic properties and is an advantage for
acoustic issues. If PVC requires acoustic properties it needs to be manually lagged
therefore making it a more physically challenging installation than cast iron. The
non-combustible component allows for extreme fire protection and acts as a noise
eliminator.
Frank also explains that he had not come across any pricing issues relating to the
Duker range. His recent project on the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) facility has
led him to believe that the Duker range was suitable in relation to the plumbing
systems designed for the QBI facility. It was also acknowledged that there was a
suitable range of fittings available in the Duker range which allows products such
as copper and PVC to be connected to the cast iron.
When ordering large amounts of Duker products, Frank also explains that "Lead time
on the Duker cast iron range was acceptable on the QBI project." Lead time usually
takes between one to three days depending on its destination within Australia.
