Fittings

Our HTA hot and cold water fittings are designed for modern domestic and commercial water installations where long-term performance, safety and reliability are essential. Manufactured from a combination of CPVC, brass and stainless steel, these fittings form part of a fully matched HTA pipework system engineered specifically for the pressurised distribution of hot and cold potable water.

Positioned as a high-performance alternative to copper, the HTA system delivers consistent flow, excellent durability and simplified installation across a wide range of building types.


What Makes the HTA System Different?

HTA fittings are manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), a material chosen for its outstanding mechanical, thermal and hygienic properties:

  • Excellent resistance to corrosion, limescale and chemical attack
  • No risk of internal rusting or material degradation over time
  • Smooth internal bore to reduce frictional losses and maintain flow efficiency
  • Reduced opportunity for biofilm development and bacterial growth
  • Suitable for long-term potable hot and cold water distribution

These characteristics make HTA fittings particularly suitable for:

  • Residential housing
  • Schools and universities
  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities
  • Hotels and leisure buildings
  • Commercial and public-sector developments

System Performance & Thermal Capability

HTA is a high-performance pipe and fitting system designed to distribute high-temperature water at pressure while maintaining system integrity over its full service life.

  • Designed for continuous operation at elevated temperatures
  • Suitable for ISO 10508 application classes 2 and 4
  • Proven resistance to short-term overheating and malfunction conditions
  • Maintains structural integrity under pressure and temperature cycling

Fire Safety & Building Compliance

Fire performance is a key consideration in modern building design, particularly in public and multi-occupancy spaces. HTA exceeds expectations in this area:

  • Classified B-s1,d0 (Euroclass)
  • Highest achievable fire classification for a synthetic piping system
  • Low smoke production and no flaming droplets
  • Supports compliance with stringent building safety requirements

Hygiene, Water Quality & Energy Efficiency

The smooth internal surface of HTA fittings provides several long-term operational benefits:

  • Reduced frictional losses help maintain pump efficiency
  • Lower energy demand compared to rougher-bore pipe systems
  • Minimal scale build-up helps preserve system performance
  • Reduced conditions for harmful bacteria to develop

Together, these features contribute to a safer, more efficient and more sustainable water network.


Installation & System Integration

HTA fittings are designed for fast, straightforward installation:

  • Lightweight and easy to handle on site
  • No hot works required - no flame, soldering or welding
  • Reduced installation time compared to copper systems
  • No hot-works permits needed
  • Simple training requirements

A wide range of CPVC-to-metal transition fittings is also available, allowing HTA systems to connect seamlessly to other pipe materials where required.


Quality Assurance & Certification

The HTA system is manufactured and quality controlled by Aliaxis UK, with rigorous testing and independent certification throughout its lifecycle:

  • WRAS product and material approval
  • Manufactured in ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certified facilities
  • Regular third-party monitoring of mechanical and physical performance
  • Alternating pressure and water hammer testing to simulate real-world stresses
  • Certified for potable water use with full sanitary conformity

A Reliable Alternative to Traditional Materials

By combining thermal performance, fire safety, hygiene benefits and installation efficiency, HTA hot and cold water fittings provide a dependable solution for modern plumbing systems. Designed to meet demanding regulatory standards while offering long-term cost and energy efficiencies, HTA is an ideal choice for both new-build and refurbishment projects.
