Manthorpe’s Patented GRS-DUO-15 Limits Leaks and Enhances Aesthetics

Seal Out Air Leaks with the GRS-DUO-15

The GRS-DUO-15 from Manthorpe Building Products is an innovative twin plate solution that simplifies 15mm pipework installation while sealing penetrations to meet strict air-tightness regulations. This patent pending design allows for neater, faster pipe routing and prevents leaks to help achieve compliance with Part L regulations and The Future Homes Standard.
 

The Basics: What is the GRS-DUO-15?

Manthorpe's GRS-DUO-15 is not your average plumbing solution.  At its core, it's a twin plate system designed to simplify pipework installation, ensuring a robust mounting point for pipes, and sealing penetrations to meet strict air-tightness regulations.

Patented Twin Plate Design

The patented GRS-DUO-15 features an innovative twin plate design that marks the first twin-plate product in the GRS product range. As the first-to-market twin-plate system, the GRS-DUO-15 offers unique capabilities that set it apart from anything else on the market.

The mount plate helps guide the pipework as it exits from behind the wall and transitions towards the radiator valves eliminating the risk of kinks and chafes along the exposed run of pipe, ensuring a smooth and reliable installation time after time.

Facilitates Compliance with Regulations

The GRS-DUO-15 is tailor-made to help meet the stringent requirements of Part L Building Regulations and The Future Homes Standard.  Here’s how it helps to achieve that:

•    First Fix Plumbing Stage

During the first fix plumbing phase, this system provides a robust mounting point for the pipework.  It ensures that the pipes are held securely in place from the beginning of the installation process.

•    Second Fix Plumbing Stage

As the plumber moves to the second fix phase, the cover plate is used to seal the penetration through the plasterboard behind the radiator against air leakage.  Multiple pilot hole locations between the two plates allow for various installation offsets whilst the flexible grommets seal around the pipework allowing for directional adjustability.
Ideal for Heat Pump Installations

For plumbers working on ground or air source heat pump ready installations, the GRS-DUO-15 is particularly beneficial.  These systems typically use the larger diameter 15mm pipes due to the lower flow temperature required to achieve the desired kW output from the heating system.  The GRS-DUO-15 seamlessly accommodates these larger pipes, making it an ideal choice for modern, energy-efficient homes.

Conclusion

Manthorpe's GRS-DUO-15 patented twin-plate design enables a dependable installation process, avoiding the risk of air leakage. Whether you are working on traditional heating systems or cutting-edge heat pump installations, this system provides the versatility and innovation needed to succeed in your projects.

As we move towards more sustainable, energy-efficient homes, the GRS-DUO-15 paves the way for a greener future without compromising on performance. If you're in the market for a reliable, future-proof heating solution, look no further than Manthorpe's GRS-DUO-15.
