Quality Duker cast iron by 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.
