Standpipe use within Thames Water region
Warning 1,000 Minimum Fine
Using an Unregulated Standpipe in the Thames Water area like any other area within the U.K is an
offence under section 174 (3) of the Water Industry Act and will lead to prosecution.
People who out the requirement to extract water in a legal & regulated manner unduly impact
upon the bills of all water consumers as well as potentially compromising water pressure and quality.
Detection of such illegal users is an extremely high priority and has resulted in convictions that apply
a mandatory minimum ne of 1,000 plus associated water and court costs that can rise to a total
cost of over 3,000.
Dont run the risk!
Obtaining a legal standpipe is as easy as 1,2,3
1. Water Licence
Obtaining a User Licence rst and foremost is essential and is based upon the likely
amount of water users may require on a daily basis. The licence fee is required to
be paid in full prior to the issue of any subsequent standpipe.
Low User: Less than 1 m / day
Average User: 1 to 10 m / day
High Demand: 10 to 20 m / day
If demand is likely to exceed 20 cubic metres per day a special agreement
is required.
2. Which Standpipe
We will seek wherever possible to ensure that we match the ideal
standpipe demanded by the requirements of your application
Bore Size: Standard 20mm for most everyday applications
Larger Bore 40 / 60mm units for high velocity /
volume requirements
Height Options: Standard 1.5m overall height or reduced
height unit 1m
Outlet Options: Single or Twin tap / Claw Coupling / 2 Outlet
(20mm unit only)

3. Rental Period
The weekly cost of renting a standpipe reduces accordingly in favour
of long term users
Short Term User: 1 week to 13 weeks maximum - standard rate
Medium Term User: 13 weeks to 51 weeks maximum - discounted rate
Annual User: 52 week pre-paid yearly contract - super discounted rate

mechanical valve box cleaner
In response to customer demand Water Services has expanded its range of standard forged tools
to include this selection of valve box cleaners.
These new tools have been designed to clear gullies and awkward cavities of debris and
hazardous materials such as glass and hypodermic needles.
Though simple in design these valve box cleaning tools offer a most effective method of clearing
an area before inspection or maintenance work begins.
The tool, once lowered into the valve box, uses two jaws, being opened and closed remotely by
means of a lever at the top of the tool. This allows potentially lethal and often concealed debris to
be removed quickly and efciently, in compliance with todays health and safety guidelines.
Water Services valve box cleaning tools are manufactured in 1m & 1.5m lengths as standard with
any head conguration, custom lengths can be manufactured to suit customer requirements.

WHERE TO USE WATER SERVICES VALVES
Available with compression or BSP parallel female ends, Water Services valves help eliminate the risk
of contamination through backow in a wide range of central heating and water service installations.
Single check valves can, for example, be used to prevent backow in central heating systems, to
protect the mains water supply during the regeneration cycle of water softeners or be installed
downstream of water meters to protect upstream mains from backow. Water Services double check
valves are suitable for ensuring the lling of primary heating circuits meets the requirements of Water
Byelaw 14. Double check valves are advisable where a hose is connected to a hose union bib tap
and should be installed as close to the tap as possible.
SIZE RANGE
Water Services single and double check valves are available with compression ends in 15mm, 22mm
and 28mm sizes and with BSP female threaded ends in sizes from 12 to 2. Double check valves
incorporate a 14 BSP centre test point.
STANDARDS AND APPROVALS
Water Services valves have compression ends manufactured to BS 864 Part 2 and female parallel
BSP ends manufactured to BS 21. Both single and double Water Services valves comply with the
requirements of BS 6282 Part 1 and are UKWFBS listed.
WORKING PRESSURES AND FLOW RATES
Water Services valves operate efciently for uids
up to a maximum temperature of 100C at a
maximum pressure of 16 bar. Refer to BS 864
for limits for compression ends.
Water Services single and double check
valves manufactured from DZR alloy
provide installers and speciers with high
performance, cost effective valves for the
prevention of contamination through
backow and back siphonage by allowing
uid to ow in one direction only.
The valves have many benets, including
silent operation, low pressure loss and a
spring loaded mechanism allowing the valve
to close without back pressure.
