As with the rest of the Megapress range, the new valves feature SC-Contur technology, which is proven to deliver a 100% positive leak during testing if the fitting isinadvertently unpressed. This reliable method of detecting missed connections prevents costly and time-consuming issues occurring after installation is complete.

It was designed by Young & Mackenzie and built in 1906-7. Straidorn Properties acquired the 83-91 Adelaide Street building in 2016, after it had been derelict for 30 years. The refurbished and fully extended Flax House now offers five floors of exceptional grade-A office space, with each floor plate configured to provide around 5,597ft2 of lettable space. Underfloor air conditioning, with full underfloor supply and return air, was specified, so that the warehouse loft ceilings could be left exposed, highlighting the retained features and building characteristics. AET Flexible space supplied 11 CAM-C downflow units and 128 TU4 fantiles for the building, which is now fully let, each floor with a different tenant. Among the businesses are modern, tech-focused firms that the developer was looking to attract.
