T
he renovation specified 100 x
chrome elbow action medical
mixers. These state-of-the-art
mixers are preferred by medical staff
because of the 180mm-long handles,
which can be operated by the elbow
or forearm. The mixers are angled
away from the mixer spout, provid-
ing both ease of use and limiting the
possibility of cross-contamination.
Quarter-turn ceramic disk head parts
ensure a smooth, effortless turning
action.
Themixers boast unique anti-stag-
nation and water saving devices that
drain residual water from the mixer
when it is turned off. This prevents
the growth of bacteria and aerated
flow restrictors that limit water flow
to six litres per minute, allowing for
significant water savings, in line with
green building standards.
In addition to Cobra’s medical
range, 75 x classically-styled Noka
basins and 40 Noka x bath/shower
mixers, 15 x Gala single lever sink
mixers and 38 x Cobra chrome and
Aurora shower heads along with nu-
merous Cobra waste traps/overflows
and regulating valves, were sup-
plied and installed. Products worth
R400 000were supplied for seven new
bathrooms, two new kitchens, the
pharmacy, as well as all the wards in
the old and new wings.
These Cobra products were speci-
fied not only for their water-saving
benefits and superior functionality
but also because of their aesthetics.
The products perfectly match the
look and feel of the upgraded Life
Kingsbury Hospital, which offers
excellent patient facilities.
“Cobra’s products are also cost
efficient, proudly South African and
readily available, which made sourc-
ing the exact products really easy,”
says Roland van Rosenveld from
South Architects.
The project was not without its
challenges but Robert van Coller,
Cobra Regional Technical Sales Rep-
resentative, says the Cobra technical
teamdrewon its extensive experience
to quickly and efficiently resolve
those issues.
“Our team rose to the occasion
and through working closely with
the client and the installers, were
able to successfully overcome the
challenges,” van Coller says. “This
once again reinforced Cobra’s ability
to offer its clients flexible plumbing
solutions as well as its position as a
leading South African brand.”
Life Kingsbury Hospital is a mem-
ber of Life Healthcare, one of the larg-
est private hospital groups in South
Africa, which operates 63 acute care
facilities across the country. It prides
itself on delivering a special brand of
health and care to its patients which,
combined with its world-class fa-
cilities, has earned it a reputation for
being one of the top hospital group
in the country.
