Fabrication:
A ProSet Technique to Improve Productivity and Work Quality
ProSet people know
about plumbing. We provide free expertise in plumbing layouts,
material handling and DWV pipe prefabrication. ProSet’s has a
prefabrication system that’s called Fixed Point Fabrication. This
method of fabrication has been proven successful on the job-site as
well as in the pipe fabrication shop.
ProSet’s
fabrication couplings are mounted to a work tabletop. They are
located where the simulated fixture openings and stacks would be
located on a deck before the concrete pour. The piping is then
fabricated to the coupling stacks or fixture openings.
When the ideal pipe
configuration has been decided, a template is then made from the
ideal layout. The sleeve couplings are then set and mounted to the
concrete form using the same template that was used for fabricating.
The fabricated piping will then fit perfectly into the concrete
embedded couplings. The system has been proven to improve work
quality, increase productivity and reduce the overall costs of
construction.
The illustration,
below, shows how a complete, prefabricated component is built in the
fabrication shop.

Point Layout:
A
ProSet Technique for Layout of Sleeves that Precisely Matches Design
The
ProSet sleeves are installed with a precise layout. In order to make
this easier and even more precise, ProSet has developed a simple
system featuring a small template that is used in conjunction with a
laser to assist with sleeve layouts.
This
not only pinpoints the location of sleeves faster but it means that
the sleeve positions will match the design layout precisely and will
consistently provide good results.
