PoolFIX coated · primary system
Stress corrosion cracking in pool halls
Stress corrosion cracking can develop when a susceptible material, chloride exposure and tensile stress act together. Surface appearance alone cannot establish that a loaded fixing remains suitable.
PoolFIX coated is assessed first
The selector checks for an explicit, validated PoolFIX coated product/application rule before any 1.4529 route. Approximately 95% is a market position, not a substitute for missing technical evidence.
- Exact installation position
- Exposure zone and cleaning conditions
- Load function and substrate
- Product-specific application rule
Application-specific selection
A product is recommended only when the stored validation rule matches the known application. Unknown position, exposure, distance, load or product scope results in Technical review required.
Documentation and traceability
Keep the selected article, actual product standard, metric dimensions, pack information, batch reference where applicable, installation location and review decision together in the project record.
What this guidance does not claim
PoolFIX does not claim that HSG179, Building Regulations, BS EN 1993-1-4 or a National Annex automatically approves a product. Project-specific design and acceptance remain necessary.
Frequently asked questions
Is PoolFIX coated automatically suitable for every swimming-pool application?
No. It is the primary PoolFIX system commercially, but an automatic recommendation requires a validated product-specific application rule.
Can 1.4529 be used for a ceiling point within 1.0 metre of the water?
No. The prohibited overhead position takes precedence over distance.
What happens when application information is incomplete?
The automatic selector returns Technical review required and does not recommend a product.
