Based in the West Midlands, we are an independent plumbers merchant and national distributor of quality Plumbing, Bathroom, Heating and Plastic products.

Suitable for natural gas or LPG, our comprehensive range of meter unions includes meter unions of sizes ranging from ¾” to 2”. Where a flexible connection is incorporated within the meter installation, it is particularly important to ensure that installation pipework before and after where the flexible connection has been deployed is secure and adequately supported. It should be recognised that, in the absence of additional support, the flexible connection allows movement which may lead to the pipe extension being able to act as a lever on to its single fixed end. Where the inlet pipework is extended, it may be necessary to use pipe clips to provide adequate support. Our range of fitting kits includes wafer-type turbine Quantometer fitting kits and flanged turbine gas meter fitting kits.If the gas network service pipe is found to be insecure, you must report the defect to the relevant Gas Network and obtain a reference number. We provide a regular delivery service throughout the West Midlands by our own team and use the service of an independent courier for our customer’s from all other regions to ensure we provide a timely service. Our plumbers merchant sales counter offers a friendly professional service to all visitors both trade and retail.
