Features & Benefits

Superior Sustainability

Clay is a future-proof material, 100% natural and 100% recyclable.

Superior Quality

Hepworth SuperSleve products are kitemarked to BS EN 295-1, have a CE mark and Declaration of Performance (DoP), and are manufactured under a quality system approved to BS EN ISO 9001.

Superior Strength and Durability

Naturally high product strength enhances in-use performance resulting in a lifetime expectancy of over 100 years.

Superior Jetting Performance

Clay drainage’s resistance to high water pressure jetting means more blockages will be cleared first time with reduced risk.  SuperSleve pipe has a Lifetime Jetting Guarantee* 7500 psi at a flow rate not exceeding 20 gals/min held static for 5 minutes, providing a 50% higher operating pressure than the WRc requirement for clay pipes..

Superior chemical resistance

Hepworth Clay is completely unaffected by any effluent allowed in an adopted sewer system virtually eliminating the risk of exfiltration.  With a resistance to practically all chemicals and compounds that might be found in the ground, clay is the perfect choice when specifying drainage for contaminated brownfield sites.

Superior bedding performance

The natural strength of clay drainage enables recycled aggregate to be used as a bedding material, reducing costs and environmental impact. The savings can be significant when a full trench depth of granular material can be more expensive than pipe. We can advise on the optimum soil and ground conditions from geotechnical reports to establish when this can be deployed.

The Hepworth Clay Range

Hepworth Clay drainage system comprises a range of perforated and non-perforated vitrified clay pipes supplied complete with factory-fitted push-fit flexible couplings or plain ended with separate couplings to be fitted on site. Nitrile fittings for installation in previously contaminated ground.
