    Geberit HDPE jointing methodsOverview

    The many Geberit jointing methodsoffer solutionsfor all situations.

    Butt weld Electroweld sleeve coupling Ring-seal socket

    Screw-threaded joint Linear expansion socket Flange joint

    These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to theway in which they are assembled as follows:

    a) Non-rigid, removableConnections which can be disconnected after assembly.

    b) Rigid, non removableConnections which cannot be disconnected after assembly.

    c) Tension-resistantConnections which cannot be disconnected by tensional forces.(Butt weld, electroweld sleeve, flange, screwed connection with locking ring)

    d) Non-tension-resistant

    b) rigid, non removablec) tension-resistant

    Use

    Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous benefits ofprefabrication; HDPE needs no other component in order to be welded.

    It can be used in all circumstances where prefabrication is used on site or in theworkshop.

    The essential conditions for a perfect weld are:

    Cleanliness of the welding plate and the parts which are to be welded.

    A correct welding plate temperature.

    The correct pressure for jointing the parts.

    The parts to be welded must be cut square

    Connection properties

    b) rigid, non removablec) tension-resistant

    Use

    On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outside diameterprovides a great advantage.

    Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The joint obtained issimple, quick and reliable.

    The heating and melting zone is divided into two fields, as there are no electrical resistances

    in the centre of the sleeve. This provides a very satisfactory safety factor.

    Also the ends of the pipes are not heated, the zones remain effectively cold, and providefurther reinforcement, thus cancelling out shrinkage of the pipe.

    The pressure required for welding is obtained from the shrinking effect of the sleeve when itis heated, and is evenly distributed over the entire weld. This shrinkage has a compensatingeffect on pipe diameter measurement tolerances.

    The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been made they areentirely covered by PE.

    The use of original Geberit equipement, especially tempered Geberit HDPE pipes, arerecommended for correct welding.

    Electrical sleeves can be made to slide by removing the central stop ring, thus making

    system conversion and repair work easier.

    Ring-seal socket joint

    Available from 32 to 160 mm.

    Connection properties

    a) non-rigid, removabled) non-tension-resistant

    Use

    Ring-seal socket joints can be used to provide a connection between various prefabricatedparts for simpler assembly.

    Assembly

    May be used either vertically or horizontally. The small overall dimensions provide an

    advantage where space is limited. Can easily be assembled or released even where accessis difficult.

    Ring-seal sockets are provided with a yellow protection cap to prevent the ingress of debrisduring installation.

    Assembly instructions are the same for both ring-seal sockets and screw-threaded joints,the sleeve lengths are the same for corresponding diameters. The effective sleeve length,i. e. the measurement X from the O-ring to the base of the socket governs themaximum length of pipe which can be connected by individual joints.

    For HDPE approximately 15 mm of spigot should be allowed for every 1 m of pipe.

    The pipe must be fully inserted into the socket, because the socket does not act as anexpander. Owing to the pipe thickness and the low thermal conductivity of HDPE, thesocket seal has very satisfactory resistance to heat and no shrinkage of the O-ring occurs.The O-ring has a round seat regardless of pipe movements. The O-ring remains fixed inthe seat and is always in contact with the pipe.

    Protection cap

    Length X varies with the diameter Ideal fitting is obtained by chamfering the pipeend to approximately 15, lubricating it withsoft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. Do not use

    mineral oil or grease which can damage therubber seal.

    Use

    Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screw-threaded joint byaxial tensile forces a flange bushing must be used to ensure that the connection will resistthese forces. It is also recommended that a screw-threaded joint with flange bushing should

    be used when installing in floors or slabs, where the length of pipe between twoconnections (elbows, branches or sleeves) is longer than 2 metres.

    Expansion socket

    Available from 32 to 315 mm.

    Connection properties

    a) non-rigid, removabled) non-tension-resistant

    Use

    An expansion socket is recommended between anchor brackets, particularly oninstallations assembled with rigid joints and where excessive thermal movement isanticipated.At least one expansion joint must be provided on vertical stacks running from floor tofloor, long collector pipelines and before connecting to the buried drain pipework.

    Different conditions apply for underground installations. For this application field see page

    48.

    Installation

    Can be used either vertically or horizontally. One advantage is the depth of the sleevewhich makes the assembly of downpipes and mains easier, allowing both vertical andhorizontal corrections (e.g. in level, and in the precise positioning of the direction ofbranches and elbows).

    A firm anchor bracket must always be located behind the expansion socket to avoid anymovement of the socket in the event of expansion or contraction.

    The special shape of the seal allows the pipe to slide within the socket during expansionand contraction, ensuring that the connection remains perfectly watertight even underheavy hydraulic load.

    Horizontal assembly (e.g. at 20C)

    Example: Insertion depth in anambient temperature of 20C(Vertical assembly).

    The following conditions are important to ensure perfect and easy assembly of thesleeve:

    Rigid installationto control thermal expansion and contraction

    Principal: Any variation in length must be prevented by embeddedfixed points in concrete (e.g. electroweld sleeve couplings,branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provisionof corresponding fixed point structures.

    B Embedding in concrete

    Basically Geberit HDPE material absorbs within itself thermal movement due to itshigh elasticity.However, in the case of large diameters (e.g. 315 mm) the forces P (resultingfrom expansion and contract ion) are considerable. They must be absorbedby the embedded fixpoints alone, since cement/concrete will not adhere to HDPEpipework.

    Since the fitting has to act as a fixpoint,do not insulate it.

    Under no circumstancesshould a ring seal or expansion socketbe embedded in concrete.

    Reduced small branches of large

    pipe diameters must be secured byan additional anchor point (electroweldsleeve couplings or collar bushes) toprevent shearing off of the branch.

    Guidelines for laying drainage pipes

    TrenchThe trench is to be dug asnarrow as possible but notnarrower than the pipediameter + 40 cm. The floorof the trench must be leveland free from rocks andloose clumps. Correctelevation and slope are alsoimportant.

    1 B = BeddingUnder normal soil conditionsthe trench is provided with abedding layer of round gravel(grading up to 30 mm) or ofbroken material (grading upto 10 mm) of a thickness ofapprox. 100 mm. Thebedding layer must becompacted and tamped. Incertain cases it will beneccessary to reinforce theground.

    2 U = UnderpinningAfter the pipe has been laid,recesses are to be provided forsockets and flanges so that thepipe is supported along itsentire length. The underpinningis to be done with a tampingpost or the like. It must bedone very carefully. If severalpipes are laid, make sure thatthe lowest one is fully coveredbefore the one above isplaced. The pipe must lay flat,and it must be installed with

    3 C = Consolidation layerThe material is to be filled inlayers of approx. 100 mmthickness. Tamping can bedone by stamping with the feet,or with a special tool. Thepurpose of this material is tohelp prevent the pipe fromdeforming, so that it must becompacted well on both sidesat the same time .

    4

    2

    P = Protective layerNow fill in a layer of the samematerial (must not containrocks which could causepoint loading of the pipe) ofat least 300 cm.Attention: To prevent thepipe from rising the trench isto be finish-filled on the sameday up to and including theprotection layer.

    5HS = Safety margin heightFor the further filling theavailable material is to beused. The trench must notcontain rocks which cannotbe lifted by hand.As soon as permitted bythe safety margin height,this compacting can bedone by machine.The regulations andbyelaws on the refillingof trenches are to beobserved.

    6Distribution ofground pressureThe ground pressure andground load distribution aregoverned essentially by thecompaction.For calculation the appropriatestandards and the localbuilding and safety regulationsare to be observed.

    Underground installation of Geberit expansion sockets

    In addition to the butt-welded andelectrically welded connection,the expansion socket is an idealconnection in underground drainagesystems. Since in such systemslower temperature differences areusually encountered than in stacksand connector pipes, smaller lengthvariations can be accounted for.

    For this reason in undergroundinstallations the distance betweenexpansion sockets can be longer.

    With regard to the ground linebetween the building wall and thestreet sewer, where extremesettling can occur, an installationmat must be wrapped around theground line to act as a deflection leg.

    In such cases Geberit HDPE isan ideal material, since it assurestightness and at the same timeprovides maximum flexibility.

    Deflection legThe length of the deflection leg isdependent upon the expectedsettling and on the pipe diameter.

    Drainage requirements for bridges

    Traffic safety/Maintenance

    Geberit HDPE also meets the specialrequirements for all types of bridges.The pipes and the wide range offittings provide an easy design andexecution at the construction site. Thesmooth walled pipes make a trouble-freemaintenance and service possible,whereby all modern cleaningequipment can be used.

    Heating trace with surface thermostat

    Where the bridge crosses a river,railway or another road, an absolutelywatertight system is essential.In accordance with the anti-pollutionlaws, protection must be maintainedin the event of an accident.

    Drainage of Bridges

    Installation Indications

    Laid in concrete

    Piping embedded in the bridgestructure can never be replaced.It is therefore essential that a drainagematerial which offers the greatestsecurity is used. When choosing thismaterial, the consolidation of theconcrete, temperature variations,contraction and creep, as well as theprestressing of the bridge must betaken into consideration.

    Thermal movement

    The following points must be observed

    Location of supports or piles

    Horizontal movement of the bridgeon the supports

    Deflection of the bridge

    Swaying of the bridge

    The watertightness of the expansion

    socket (example 1)In the case of example 2 an expansionfunnel is required to absorb the lateralmovements.

    Fixing

    The spacing of the guide brackets forHDPE piping is 1,5 m and may not beexceeded. With all plastic piping, thepipe bracket should have a minimumwidth of 60 mm, in order that thestresses due to the weight of the filledpipe is well distributed.

    Low pressure installation

    54

    Low pressure application

    Discharge pipeline of a pump set

    Generally the Geberit HDPE product range is designed for water drainagesystems.For the low pressure range, e.g. swimming pool, pipework through circulationpumps, Geberit has established maximum admissible stressing values for anendurance life of 10 years.

    Pressure max. 1,5 bar

    Temperature max. 30C

    Longtermrupture strength 10 years

    All connections must be butt weld joints, electroweld sleevecouplings or flange joints.

    Suitable fitting range for low pressure application see page 4.

    The Geberit HDPE range of products can also be used for the dischargepipeline of a pump set, provided that the mechanical stress is low, only of shorttime and no thermal loaded medium (e.g. warm water) is pumped.

    When designing discharge pipelines for drainage pumps the following importantpoints should be observed:

    1. The discharge pipeline has to be installed higher than the lowestinstalled appliance by means of a pipe loop.

    2. If the flow rate is smaller than 5 l/s the vertical fall section of thepipe loop has to be increased.

    3. If the flow rate is above 5 l/s the vertical stack has to be ventedwith a ventilation pipe of at least 50 mm inside diameter.

    4. Long horizontal collector pipes have to be vented. The minimalinner diameter of the vent pipe must be 57 mm or 2 dimensionssmaller than the discharge pipe.The ventilation pipe must be higher than the total delivery head ofthe pump and must go above the roof.

    Internal negative pressures

    External pressures

    Permitted external pressures

    Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand external pressures according to the tablebelow depending on the pipe diameter.

    The maximum level of the groundwater table has to be taken into accountwhen designing Geberit HDPE pipelines in a groundwater area.

    Internal negative pressures Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand internal negative pressure according to thetable above depending on the pipe diameter.

    Geberit HDPE pipes are sometimes used as suction pipelines for pumpsets.The higher the suction lift is, the higher the negative pressure inside the pipeline.Important with such an installation is that the foot valve and strainer are notblocked.Foot valve and strainer of the suction pipeline should be kept free from debris,possible blockage could lead to additional pressure increase.

    Polyethylene (PE) is a simple compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms,harmless to man, animals and plants.

    PE environmental loads relate to the fields of manufacture and disposal.In addition to the raw material crude oil, energy is used for the preparationof the plastic granulate and in the manufacture of the products.

    PE is the perfect material for drainage systems from an ecological point of view.It has a long life span, no toxic gases rises from incineration (e.g. hydrochloricacid HCL from PVC) during disposal. It consumes much smaller quantitiesof energy during fabrication process and transport than steel, cast iron orcopper pipes.

    Geberit High Density Polyethylene HDPE: Density 951 955 kg/m3

    The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 960 kg/m 3. The Geberit typeat up to 955 kg/m3, is of the hard quality and has increased durability properties.HDPE is lighter than water, which is beneficial particularly with regard to transportationandinstallation.

    Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG)The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (shortening of dimensions) afterheat load in the plastic pipe, is to take preventative measures during manufacture.Geberit HDPE pipes are therefore stored in hot water baths after manufacture.This process increases the safety of the joints, as there is no chance of joints pullingapart later due to shortening of length.

    Resistance to coldWhen Geberit HDPE parts are filled with water and then freeze, they stretch elasticallyas the ice expands. Once the ice melts, they resume their original shape, remainingcompletely intact and undamaged.

    FlexibilityThe flexibility of the piping material can be the main criterion in certain buildings or onbridges, especially when pipes have to pass through expansion joints or are inbuildings, which are subject to traffic vibration.

    Melt-flow index 0,4 0,5g/10 min.This describes the working properties of the pipe and at the same time givesinformation on the molecular weight, which is crucial for a number of raw materialproperties. The smaller the melt-flow index, the higher the molecular weight and thusthe pipes resistance to stress corrosion.

    Heat conductivity 0,43 W/m KHDPE is a bad heat conductor; for this reason the pipe does not become completelywarmed through when heat loaded for a short period. Heat loss is about 90% less,for instance, than a similar copper pipe.

    Resistance to radioactive effluentsThere is no risk of damage as a result of slightly radioactive water. However, pleaseask the manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.

    Resistance to abrasionDrainage systems are increasingly becoming hidden refuse chutes. A pipes resistanceto abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch pipes, soil stacks and groundpipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer additionalprotection.

    Heat expansion 0,17 mm/m KHeat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50C increasein temperature, an expansion of 10 mm of linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.

    Resistance to hot waterGeberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe with no mechanical load, up to 80C.Temperatures of up to 100C for short periods (e.g. surges of steam) are permissible.

    Resistance to impactGeberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is veryhigh even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. 40C) and thus meets therequirements for outlet pipes.

    CondensateGeberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during shortperiods of undercooling.

    Behaviour in firePlastics are inflammable. However, the classification of plastics according to the usualfire test for construction materials does not permit a valid statement on the behaviourof plastic construction parts in the event of a fire.

    TightnessMany years of experience with welding HDPE-Pipes, have shown that the butt weldsdo not give any problems as the welding parts are circular on the inside and do notadd to the normal risk of blocking.

    NoiseHDPE is a soft material with a low E-modulus. HDPE limits solid-borne conduction,but airborne noise should be insulated. This can be done by means of the duct wall,HDPE Silent or Geberit Isol.

    Chemical resistanceBecause of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals.Its resistance can be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in allinorganic and organic solutions at 20C. Geberit HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic andaromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at over 90C. The material will beattacked by heavily oxidized media (conc. HN03, conc. H2 S04) when exposed overlong periods at room temperature.

    Comments on the individual properties

    Non-conductivePlastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry.HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.

    Sealing materialAlthough the chemical resistance of the seal does not equal that of HDPE, there is norisk of the seal being destroyed, because the rubber ring is installed under com-pression on all sides and therefore cannot swell. In addition, the wetting factor of therubber ring in the joint is very low. Many years of experience have shown that thesealing material can endure even the harshest conditions.NB: Such conditions do not occur in drainage pipes.Free halogens (chlorine, bromine etc.) cause halogenised polyethylene and hydrogenhalide to form at room temperature. The halogenised polyethylene has different

    physical and chemical properties from the original hydrocarbon, but the polymer is notdestroyed. Geberit HDPE should therefore not be used at all in areas where freehalogens are produced or used. The only criteria to be observed here are the purposefor which the pipe is intended and the concentration of halogens.

    Solar radiationGeberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UVrays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.

    Protection against blockagesHDPEs water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard. Rapid outflow of water

    Prevention of deposits

    Welding temperatureThermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperaturesrequired are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature forHDPE is approximately 230C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.

    Non-toxicPlastics are well suited for use in the food industry as packaging material, containers,bottles etc. Geberit HDPE pipes are used for milk transportation lines in mountainareas and in the food canning and packing industry.

    Scope of useGeberit HDPE pipes are designed for drainage systems. Their use in low-pressureareas (swimming pools, transportation lines etc.) is subject to a maximum pressureload of 15 m Water Column (1,5 bar) and a temperature of 30C (10 years).There is also a certain range of moulded fittings.

    PaintingGeberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and theflexibility of the material both have a negative impact on paint. If painting isunavoidable, the paint product to be used should be tested for compatibility with theHDPE.

    As a result of manufacturing, the molecule chains are stretched and thancooled sown from about 230C to 40C. This enormous drop intemperature results in tensile stresses which are frozen in by the coolingdown process.

    When hot water flows through a streched pipe or the pipe is heated upby doing a welding joint, e.g. with an electroweld sleeve coupling, theexpanded molecules relax and return to their normal state. The pipebecomes shorter.

    Stretched molecules aftermanufacturing

    Molecules after Geberit annealingprocess

    The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat shortening of dimensions afterheat load in the plastic pipe is to take preventative measures (Tempering)during manufacture. Geberit pipes are therefore stored in a hot water bathafter manufacture, this allows the expanded molecules to relax and return totheir normal state = No stresses on Geberit pipes.

    Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress and joints andfixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements forelectroweld sleeve couplings can be met.

    Without tempering, shortening ofdimensions can create gaps bet-ween pipe and fitting, pipes can bepulled apart high risk of leakage!

    The significance of the pH value

    One of the most crucial factors in selecting a material for a drainage installationis the chemical loading of the effluent being discharged.

    Effluent with a low or a high pH is harmful because of its corrosive effects.E.g. some drain cleaning fluids have a pH value of up to 12.

    Therefore in order to select the most suitable material to handle a specificdischarge it is important not only to know the pH value of the effluent but thechemical resistance of the pipe materials.(see Chemical Resistance tables on pages 65 to asses the performance ofGeberit HDPE at various temperatures)

    The pH value is therefore important in assessing the chemical level as it willindicate whether the effluent is acid, neutral or alkaline. The pH scale rangesfrom 0 to 14 (see table below).

    increasingly acid increasingly alkaline

    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

    Explanation

    When the pipe wall material comes into contact withsubstances flowing through the pipe, different processes cantake place, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), theextraction of soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or

    chemical reactions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which cansometimes cause the properties of the pipes or pipeline parts tochange.

    The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contact

    with effluent substances can be classed as follows:

    q ResistantThe pipe wall material is generally regarded as being suitable

    Limited resistanceThe suitability of the pipe wall material must be checked ineach individual case; if necessary, further tests should be

    carried out.

    Not resistantThe pipe wall material is generally regarded as beingunsuitable.

    The following symbols and abbreviations are used to indicate

    the composition of the flow substances:
