 • Minimal maintenance requirements-  occasional painting approximately every 10 years (inland areas).
 • 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
 • Low noise levels due to the sound deadening properties of cast iron.
Bespoke
 • Specialist castings and fabrications can be created to fit the specific requirements of your building (pattern charges may apply).
 • Ears can be added to any LCC soil fitting on request.
 • Over 300 variations of soil branches are offered as standard, other formations can be fabricated to fit your installation on request..
Quality
 • All Premier soil products are manufactured in accordance with BS416.
 • Premier Soil is supplied in a durable black bitumen paint finish as standard.
 • With minimal maintenance we would expect Premier soil systems to last over 100 years.
Paint finish

Hargreaves can supply LCC soil products in Premier Extra Black Gloss or Premier Extra Coloured paint finishes to match Premier Rainwater systems on request (additional charges may apply). If over painting please refer to your paint specialist or paint manufacturer for a compatible product.
Halifax Soil is a comprehensive range of socketless pipes and fittings in 50mm to 300mm diameters suitable for internal soil, waste and rainwater instalations. The agrément certified system is particularly suitable to high rise projects. An extensive variety of couplings and brackets offer flexibility to satisfy most designs. Typical applications include public buildings, apartments, offices, hospitals, hotels and car parks.
Jointing HALIFAX SOIL
• Socketless pipes and fittings can be jointed using a choice of 3 coupling types; no specialist tools or equipment are required for installation.
• Pipes do not require expansion joints due to the low coefficient of expansion.
• Axial restraint up to 10 bar possible enables the system to be used in sensitive areas e.g. computer rooms etc.
Features
• Socketless pipes are available from 50mm to 300mm diameters in 3m lengths.
• Choice of both ductile iron and stabilised chrome steel couplings to satisfy most designs.
• A large selection of brackets to support and brace pipework in both vertical and horizontal situations
Strength / durablility
• Halifax Soil pipes are highly resistant to distortion caused by accident or vandalism.
• Fit and forget installation.
Long life
• Correctly installed and maintained Halifax soil systems can last in excess of 100 years.
• Long life expectancy makes cast iron the cost effective choice.
• 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
Quiet in operation
• Low noise levels due to the sound deadening properties of cast iron.
• Alternative materials that do not possess sound deadening properties require costly sound insulation.
Fire safety
• Cast iron is non-combustible which means the Halifax Soil installations do not require costly fire protection collars.
• In the event of fire cast iron will not emit dangerous toxic fumes; unlike PVC.
Quality
• All Halifax Soil products have been manufactured to comply with BS EN 877.
• British Board of Agrément (BBA) approval has been awarded for the Halifax system; the scope of which is as shown on Agrément Certificate No. 06/4401.
• Pipes and fittings are manufactured in grey cast iron which exceeds the requirements of BS EN 1563 Grade EN-JL 1020 ISO 185 Grade 15.
• Halifax Soil products will be supplied in accordance with CE markings requirements.
Paint finish
The Halifax system pipes are lined internally with a two part epoxy finish which provides improved performance when exposed to aggressive substances. Fitting are also epoxy coated and provide a similar level of performance.
Availability Halifax Soil coatings have been tested successfully  for resistance to attack by salt spray, waste water, hot water cycling and solution of acid at PH12 and alkalis at PH12 and conform to BS EN877 1999. Hargreaves’ internal quality control procedures ensure the integrity of the coating is maintained through process monitoring and final inspection of coating thickness and adhesion.
Halifax Drain is a comprehensive range of socketless pipes and fittings in 100mm to 300mm diameters suitable for below ground drainage situations. The cast iron system provides greater resistance to ground movement than PVC or clay systems; an important consideration when building on made-up land. A choice of ductile iron or stainless steel couplings to satisfy most designs and facilitate connection directly to our Halifax Soil above ground soil system. Typical applications include drainage pipes below public buildings, hospitals, hotels and exposed bridge drainage.
Features
 • Socketless pipes are available from 100mm to 300mm diameters in 3m lengths.
 • Lightweight pipes and fittings for speedy installation to reduce time on site but with the inherent strength of traditional cast iron pipe systems.
 • Choice of either ductile iron or stainless steel couplings to satisfy most designs require no specialist tools or equipment for installation.
Strength / Durability
 • Halifax Drain pipes are highly resistant to sheer loads.
 • Low risk of settlement damage.
 • Where extra loading is likely other drainage materials may need additional protection in the form of a concrete surround. Less embedment means that normally cast iron requires no extra protection saving time and money.
 • High resistance to distortion which reduces chances of damage when more vigorous rodding is required.
Long Life
 • Correctly installed and maintained Halifax Drain systems can last in excess of 100 years.
 • Long life expectancy makes cast iron the cost effective choice.
 • 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
