WAVIN EXPANDS FOUL WATER PORTFOLIO WITH LAUNCH OF NEW TEGRA 600 INSPECTION CHAMBER RANGE

Wavin Ireland has launched an enhanced version of its Tegra 600 Inspection Chamber Range for gravity sewer systems, expanding its foul water drainage portfolio for the Irish market. Independently certified to EN13598-2, the Tegra 600 meets Irish Building Regulations Part H and is Uisce Éireann approved for wastewater networks.

Built to last, with a lifespan of up to 100 years, the new Tegra 600 comprises a durable chamber base, a shaft and secure seal. It provides access for the inspection, maintenance and cleaning of below-ground drainage networks – an essential function for keeping cities safe from flooding, protecting public health and ensuring the reliability of critical infrastructure. The launch follows a wider ‘reinvention’ of the Tegra range, with Wavin highlighting a stronger focus on circularity and low-carbon design while building on more than 40 years of proven performance in inspection chamber technology.

Flexible, efficient and durable installation
To support quicker and more flexible installations, the chambers’ pipe sockets now allow for 10° of movement in all directions, a significant upgrade from the previous 7.5°. This improvement provides greater joint flexibility during installation, making it easier to accommodate slight on site misalignments. An enhanced chamber base shaft socket features a chamfered, easy push-fit design that reduces push-in force for shaft insertion, improving installation speed and efficiency. As part of the improved range, chamber bases also feature integrated benching with a 15° gradient and swept channels, helping to prevent debris build up within the chamber. A newly designed flat, double reinforced base plate improves stability and long-term durability.

The enhanced range includes seven flow profiles and 27 base variants for maximum installation flexibility including a new 180° base option with 110mm sockets. Designed for flexibility on site, the product is compatible with Wavin sewer smoothwall pipes in 110mm, 160mm, 200mm, 250mm and 315mm diameters and features a cut-to-length shaft, plus adaptors, covers and concrete biscuit.

A sustainable solution
The Tegra 600 supports sustainability targets without compromising strength or performance. Bases are manufactured from up to 76% recycled polypropylene, and produced with 50% less energy, cutting its carbon footprint by 45-70% depending on the configuration. It is also 100% recyclable at end of life, and it is manufactured in facilities powered by 100% renewable energy.

Declan Conlon, Sales Director, Wavin Ireland, said: ‘The new Tegra 600 delivers a market leading, standards led, sustainable solution for contractors and specifiers.

Customer feedback has led to product innovations like increased joint movement and a reinforced base, so installers can expect an easier, faster and more reliable solution. With a lifespan of up to 100 years, Tegra 600 is a durable inspection chamber built to stand the test of time.’
