LOCKED TIGHT
LOCTITE® 577 Thread Sealant
is a medium strength, service-
removable sealant for coarse
threaded metal fittings. Once
this yellow-coloured, solvent
free thread sealant is cured, it
fills the mating threads, unitising
the joint to resist loosening due
to vibration, shock, bending, and
thermal-cycling.

DISHWASHER SAFE
Pestblock’s one of those simple
devices that’s likely to strike a
chord with builders, plumbers
and exterminators everywhere.
In short, it’s a universal cover for
dishwasher hoses, which seals
off the area around hoses when
they’re plumbed into the sink
cabinet. The idea is to incorporate
Pestblock when a dishwasher’s
being installed, to help prevent
cockroaches and rodents from
nesting and spreading germs
through cabinets and kicker
cavities. As an added advantage, it
provides a very nice ‘finished’ look
to the installation.
The Pestblock
can be applied
both in domestic
settings, and in
larger commercial
apartment builds.
SOFT TOUCH
Sometimes for the very young or
the elderly, the pressure required
to operate a time flow tap can
be difficult to achieve. The new
TempoSoft 2 range requires two
times less pressure to operate
compared to a traditional mixer. An
ideal solution for early childhood
centres, schools, aged care facilities
and public washrooms. Not only is
it easy to use, but this new design
combines a timeless design with
simplicity and elegance, as well as
offers excellent water and energy
efficiency, with WELS 6 Star rating
combined with a set 7 second flow.
