The complete 3N1 steaming hot water tap range from InSinkErator®, the global leader and inventor of food waste disposers and a major player in the steaming hot water tap market, has gained approval from the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS).
A product that has been approved by WRAS confirms that it complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and the Scottish Byelaws. The regulations mean that the water fitting will not cause waste, misuse, undue consumption or contaminate the water supply, and must be ‘of an appropriate quality and standard’.
Fast growing Heating & Plumbing merchant, Flame Heating Spares, is targeting further growth and job creation as it looks to expand its operation to serve the Scottish market.
Flame currently operates throughout the North East of England from seven branches, but is now looking to launch branches north of the border in Scotland’s major towns and cities, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Perth and Dundee.
The company appointed Danny Byrne at the start of the year to oversee the expansion and Flame is actively working to acquire a number of sites and develop its brand across Scotland, with the potential to create up to 25 jobs.
InSinkErator®, the global leader and inventor of food waste disposers and major player in the steaming hot water tap market, introduces the NeoTank, a brand new and improved hot water tank for their full range of steaming hot water taps.
Modelled on the previous hot water tank, manufactured and supplied by InSinkErator®, the innovative NeoTank features a precise and adjustable thermostat, enabling users to set the desired temperature of the water between 88 and 98°C. The compact 2.5 litre tank takes up only a small amount of valuable, under-the-sink, cupboard space and the enhanced internal and external design ensures a quiet operation and increased product longevity.
