Geberit HDPE jointing methods Overview
The many Geberit jointing methods offer solutions for all situations.
Butt weld Electroweld sleeve coupling
Ring-seal socket Screw-threaded joint
Linear expansion socket
Flange joint Contraction sleeve Coupling for Silent-db20 and adapter only
These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to the way in which they are assembled as follows:
a) To be opened Jointing methods which can be disconnected after assembly.
b) Not to be opened Jointing methods which cannot be disconnected after assembly.
c) Tension-resistant Connections which withstand tensional forces.
d) Non-tension-resistant Connections which cannot withstand tensional forces.

Use
Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous ben-efits of prefabrication; 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 the workshop.
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 <) 90°.
Butt welding takes up little space. The edge of the weld does not obstruct the pipe, leaving its internal cross-section virtually unchanged. Even quite compli-cated distribution parts can be assembled in a small space, without wastage of material, because lengths of pipe or elbow sections can be easily reused through butt welding.
The allowance for butt welds is approx. as big as the wall thickness of the pipe.

The stop ring can easily be removed with a screwdriver.
Electroweld sleeve coupling
A short, simple and reliable connection
Available from Ø 40 to 315 mm.
Connection propertiesb) not to be openedc) tension-resistant
Use
On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outside diameter provides a great advantage.
Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The joint obtained is simple, quick and reliable.
The heating and melting zone is divided into two fields, as there are no electri-cal 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 provide further reinforcement, thus cancelling out shrinkage of the pipe.
The pressure required for welding is obtained from the shrinking effect of the sleeve when it is heated, and is evenly distributed over the entire weld. This shrinkage has a compensating effect on pipe diameter measurement toler-ances.
The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been made they are entirely covered by PE.
The use of original Geberit equipement, especially tempered Geberit HDPE pipes, are recommended for correct welding.
Electrical sleeves can be made to slide by removing the central stop ring, thus making system conversion and repair work easier.
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 the maximum length of pipe which can be con-nected 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 an expander. Owing to the pipe thickness and the low thermal conduc-tivity of HDPE, the socket 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 in the seat and is always in contact with the pipe.
Protection cap
Length «X» varies with the diameter Ideal fitting is obtained by chamfering the pipe end to approximately 15°, lubricating it with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. Do not use mineral oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal.

Use
Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screw-threaded joint by axial tensile forces a flange bushing must be used to ensure that the connection will resist these 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 two connections (elbows, branches or sleeves) is longer than 2 metres.

Expansion socket
Available from Ø 32 to 315 mm.
Connection propertiesb) not to be openedd) non-tension-resistant
Use
An expansion socket is recommended between anchor brackets, particularly on installations assembled with rigid joints and where excessive thermal movement is anticipated. At least one expansion joint must be provided on vertical stacks running from floor to floor, 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 sleeve which makes the assembly of downpipes and mains easier, allowing both vertical and horizontal corrections (e.g. in level, and in the precise position-ing of the direction of branches and elbows).
A firm anchor bracket must always be located behind the expansion socket to avoid any movement of the socket in the event of expansion or contraction.
The special shape of the seal allows the pipe to slide within the socket dur-ing expansion and contraction, ensuring that the connection remains perfectly watertight even under heavy hydraulic load.
Horizontal assembly (e.g. at 20°C)
Example: Insertion depth in an ambient temperature of 20°C (Vertical assembly).
The following conditions are important to ensure perfect and easy assembly of the sleeve:1. Chamfering the inserted pipe end to approximate <) 15°.2. Check the scale on the outer surface of the expansion socket for insertion
depth.3. Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe.4. Lubricate the pipe end well with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline.
N.B. Do not use oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal.For more information see pages 22, 28, 43.
A special expansion socket with stainless steel protection for the rubber seal can be used for heavy duty industrial and laboratory applications.

Connection properties b) rigid, non-removable d) non-tension-resistant
UseThe Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve is a convenient connection possibility for most uneven, irregular or special materials.A common additional application method is also the connection from HDPE to different clay ware apparatus, e. g. for Laboratory sinks.
InstallationThe enclosed rubber ring will be placed over the pipe end. Make sure that the rubber ring will be placed in the middle of the sleeve length (h2). Then push the contraction sleeve over the pipe end. Apply low heat (approx. 125°C) evenly around the socket, moving the blow lamp constantly.The sleeve will now shrink and give an absolute watertight and strong connection. Afterwards fix the contraction sleeve pipe with an anchor bracket.
For Ø 125–315 mm use two soft flames.

The table beside shows the correct pipe nipple diameter required depending on distance «L» to effectively withstand thrust force «P».
The main purpose of the anchor bracket is to prevent any movement of the expansion socket.
The distance «L» and the thrust forces «P» have to be taken in account, when selecting the diameter of the pipe nipple between mounting plate and bracket.
The thrust force «P» is the slide resistance between rubber seal and HDPE pipe. This force depends on the pipe diameter.

Embedded fixed points
Principal: Any variation in length must be prevented by embedded
fixed points in concrete (e.g. electroweld sleeve couplings, branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provision of corresponding fixed point structures.
B Embedding in concrete
Basically Geberit HDPE material absorbs within itself thermal movement due to its high elasticity. However, in the case of large diameters (e.g. 315 mm) the forces «P» (resulting from expansion and contraction) are considerable. They must be absorbed by the embedded fixpoints alone, since cement/concrete will not adhere to HDPE pipework.
Since the fitting has to act as a fixpoint, do not insulate it.
Under no circumstances should a ring seal or expansion socket be embedded in concrete.
Reduced small branches of large pipe diameters must be secured by an additional anchor point (electroweld sleeve couplings or collar bushes) to prevent shearing off of the branch.

Underground drainage pipes of Geberit HDPE
Not only has Geberit HDPE proven itself excellently for many years for drainage systems inside of buil-dings such as:– soil and waste stacks– vent pipes– connection and branch pipes– collector pipes
but it is also suitable for under-ground applications as:– ground pipes– domestic drainage pipes
Criteria for underground drainage pipes
1. Tightness
Environmental protection regulati-onsdo not permit leaking drainage pipes.
Geberit HDPE is a reliable water drainage system which assures maximum dependability with regard to tightness.
2. Resistance to chemicals
Geberit HDPE provides the assu-rance of universal resistance to the greatly diversified types of chemical attack by the disposal water, as well as by external factors (acidic soils).
3. Flexibility
Geberit HDPE is a flexible, opera-tionally reliable drainage system, even in soils in which a certain degree of settling of ground must be anticipated.
4. Resistance to frost
Geberit HDPE has proven itself excellently for many years in frost endangered soils such as in Scandinavia. It can be used in tem-peratures ranging down to –40°.
5. Material
As in domestic drainage systems, the quality of the material is the main criterion for underground
applications. In addition to the attack from the inside, the pipes are also subjected to attacks from outside. Geberit HDPE excellently stands up to all these requirements.
1 Ground acids 2 Stray currents 3 Disposal water (with chemical
and thermal attack)4 No enter of roots
6. Friendly to the environmentThe Geberit HDPE drainage systems comply with environmental regulations.

For all trenching work the local guidelines, standards and regulations must be observed.
Guidelines for laying drainage pipes
TrenchThe trench is to be dug as narrow as possible – but not narrower than the pipe diameter + 40 cm. The floor of the trench must be level and free from rocks and loose clumps. Correct elevation and slope are also important.
1 B = Bedding Under normal soil condi-tions the trench is provi-ded with a bedding layer of round gravel (grading up to 30 mm) or of bro-ken material (grading up to 10 mm) of a thickness of approx. 100 mm. The bedding layer must be compacted and tamped. In certain cases it will be neccessary to reinforce the ground.
2 U = Underpinning After the pipe has been laid, recesses are to be provided for sockets and flanges so that the pipe is supported along its entire length. The underpinning is to be done with a tam-ping post or the like. It must be done very careful-ly. If several pipes are laid, make sure that the lowest one is fully covered before the one above is placed. The pipe must lay flat, and it must be installed with the correct slope.
3 C = Consolidation layer The material is to be filled in layers of approx. 100 mm thickness. Tamping can be done by stamping with the feet, or with a special tool. The purpose of this material is to help pre-vent the pipe from defor-ming, so that it must be compacted well on both sides at the same time.

P = Protective layer Now fill in a layer of the same material (must not contain rocks which could cause point loa-ding of the pipe) of at least 300 cm. Attention: To prevent the pipe from rising the trench is to be finish-filled on the same day up to and including the protection layer.
5 HS = Safety margin height For the further filling the available material is to be used. The trench must not contain rocks which cannot be lifted by hand. As soon as permitted by the safety margin height, this compacting can be done by machine. The regulations and byelaws on the refilling of trenches are to be observed.
6 Distribution of ground pressureThe ground pressure and ground load distribution are gover-ned essentially by the compaction. For calcu-lation the appropriate standards and the local building and safety regulations are to be observed.

Rigid installation
Rigid fixation The rigid fixings must be stronger than the possible expansion or contraction forces of the HDPE pipe.
Geberit pipes can be installed rigidly with relatively low effort, for which the following elements are required:
1 Concrete mound as an anchor point 2 Electroweld sleeve coupling 3 HDPE pipe
Please note:The scale found on the outer surface of the socket does not apply in the case of underground installations.
Underground installation of Geberit expansion sockets
In addition to the butt-welded and electrically welded connection, the expansion socket is an ideal connection in underground draina-ge systems. Since in such systems lower temperature differences are usually encountered than in stacks and connector pipes, smaller length variations can be accounted for.
For this reason in underground installations the distance between expansion sockets can be longer.
The values arev calculated accor-ding to the formula

With regard to the ground line between the building wall and the street sewer, where extreme settling can occur, an installation mat must be wrapped around the ground line to act as a deflection leg.
In such cases Geberit HDPE is an ideal material, since it assures tightness and at the same time provides maximum flexibility.
Deflection leg The length of the deflection leg is dependent upon the expected settling and on the pipe diameter.
Length DL = 10 · √ Δ S · ∅
Note: The insulation must be thicker than the expected settling.

Drainage requirements for bridges
Traffic safety/Maintenance
Geberit HDPE also meets the special requirements for all types of bridges. The pipes and the wide range of fittings provide an easy design and execution at the cons-truction site. The smooth walled pipes make a trouble-free mainte-nance and service possible, whereby all modern cleaning equip-ment can be used.
Frost protection
Geberit HDPE can be installed in temperatures down to –40°C. However, to ensure water flow in the pipe an automatic-controlled heat trace can be fitted.
Ground water protection
Where the bridge crosses a river, railway or another road, an absolu-tely watertight system is essential. In accordance with the anti-pollution laws, protection must be maintained in the event of an accident.
Piping Arrangement

Drainage of bridgesInstallation indications
Laid in concrete
Piping embedded in the bridge structure can never be replaced. It is therefore essential that a drai-nage material which offers the greatest security is used. When choosing this material, the consoli-dation of the concrete, temperature variations, contraction and creep, as well as the prestressing of the bridge must be taken into conside-ration.
Thermal movement
The following points must be observed
– Location of supports or piles – Horizontal movement of the
bridge on the supports
– Deflection of the bridge
– Swaying of the bridge
– The watertightness of the expan-sion socket (example 1)
In the case of example 2 an expan-sion funnel is required to absorb the lateral movements.
Fixing
The spacing of the guide brackets for HDPE piping is 1,5 m and may not be exceeded. With all plastic piping, the pipe bracket should have a minimum width of 60 mm, in order that the stresses due to the weight of the filled pipe is well distributed.

All connections must be butt weld joints, electroweld sleeve couplings 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 discharge pipeline of a pump set, provided that the mechanical stress is low, only of short time and no thermal loaded medium (e.g. warm water) is pumped. When designing discharge pipelines for drainage pumps the following impor-tant points should be observed:
1. The discharge pipeline has to be installed higher than the lowest installed appliance by means of a pipe loop.
2. If the flow rate is smaller than 5 l/s the vertical fall section of the pipe loop has to be increased.
3. If the flow rate is above 5 l/s the vertical stack has to be vented with a ventilation pipe of at least 50 mm inside diameter.
4. Long horizontal collector pipes have to be vented. The minimal inner diameter of the vent pipe must be 57 mm or 2 dimensions smaller than the discharge pipe. The ventilation pipe must be higher than the total delivery head of the pump and must go above the roof.

Permitted external pressures
Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand external pressures according to the table below depending on the pipe diameter.
The maximum level of the groundwater table has to be taken into account when designing Geberit HDPE pipelines in a groundwater area.
Internal negative pressures Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand internal negative pressure according to the table 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 pipe-line. Important with such an installation is that the foot valve and strainer are not blocked. Foot valve and strainer of the suction pipeline should be kept free from debris, possible blockage could lead to additional pressure increase.

Fire protection
Depending on the type of building different fire protection will be required (see local fire regulations for buildings).
Building partsThe requirments for building com-ponents are classified in fire resi-stant classes in order to maintain maximum integrity of the relevant wall, floor or ceiling.
The weakening of a fire protection wall or ceiling is not allowed under any circumstances.
The integrity of the wall or ceiling will be maintained for the permitted periods when Geberit fire stoppers are used as illustrated.

Ecological properties of Geberit HDPE
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 preparation of 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. hydrochloric acid HCL from PVC) during disposal. It consumes much smaller quantities of energy during fabrication process and transport than steel, cast iron or copper pipes.
Ecological properties of Geberit HDPE
Environmental impact of different pipe material (Ecobalance)
The diagram shows the environmental impact of 1 m pipe Ø 110 during its expected life, beginning with its raw material and ending with its disposal.
The environmental impact is measured in environmental points (UP), accor-ding to the regulations of the Swiss Federal Office of Environment, Forest and Countryside (BUWAL), Publication series 132 and 133.

Comments on the individual properties
Geberit High Density Polyethylene HDPE: Density 951 – 955 kg/m3 The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 – 960 kg/m3. The Geberit type at 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 transportation and installation.
Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG) The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (shortening of dimensions) after heat 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 pulling apart later due to shortening of length.
Resistance to cold When Geberit HDPE parts are filled with water and then freeze, they stretch elastically as the ice expands. Once the ice melts, they resume their original shape, remaining completely intact and undamaged.
Flexibility The flexibility of the piping material can be the main criterion in certain buildings or on bridges, especially when pipes have to pass through expansion joints or are in buildings, which are subject to traffic vibration.
Melt-flow index 0,4 – 0,5 g/10 min. This describes the working properties of the pipe and at the same time gives information on the molecular weight, which is crucial for a number of raw material properties. The smaller the melt-flow index, the higher the molecular weight and thus the pipe’s resistance to stress corrosion.
Heat conductivity 0,43 W/m · K HDPE is a bad heat conductor; for this reason the pipe does not become completely warmed through when heat loaded for a short period. Heat loss is about 90% less, for instance, than a similar copper pipe.
Comments on the individual properties
Heat expansion 0,17 mm/m · K Heat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50°C increase in temperature, an expansion of 10 mm of linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.
Resistance to hot water Geberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe with no mechanical load, up to 80°C. Temperatures of up to 100°C for short periods (e.g. surges of steam) are permissible.
Resistance to impact Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very high even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. –40°C) and thus meets the requirements for outlet pipes.
Condensate Geberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during short periods of undercooling.
Resistance to radioactive effluents There is no risk of damage as a result of slightly radioactive water. However, please ask the manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.
Resistance to abrasion Drainage systems are increasingly becoming hidden refuse chutes. A pipe’s resistance to abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch pipes, soil stacks and ground pipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer additional protection.

Comments on the individual properties
Non-conductive Plastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry. HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.
Sealing material Although the chemical resistance of the seal does not equal that of HDPE, there is no risk 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 the rubber ring in the joint is very low. Many years of experience have shown that the sealing 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 hydrogen halide to form at room temperature. The halogenised polyethylene has different physical and chemical properties from the original hydrocarbon, but the polymer is not destroyed. Geberit HDPE should therefore not be used at all in areas where free halogens are produced or used. The only criteria to be observed here are the purpose for which the pipe is intended and the concentration of halogens.
Solar radiation Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UV rays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.
Noise HDPE 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 resistance Because of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals. Its resistance can be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in all inorganic and organic solutions at 20°C. Geberit HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic and aromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at over 90°C. The material will be attacked by heavily oxidized media (conc. HN03, conc. H2 S04) when exposed over long periods at room temperature.
Behaviour in fire Plastics are inflammable. However, the classification of plastics according to the usual fire test for construction materials does not permit a valid statement on the behaviour of plastic construction parts in the event of a fire.
Comments on the individual properties
Protection against blockages HDPE’s water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard. – Rapid outflow of water – Prevention of deposits
Welding temperature Thermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperatures required are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature for HDPE is approximately 230°C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.
Non-toxic Plastics 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 mountain areas and in the food canning and packing industry.
Scope of use Geberit HDPE pipes are designed for drainage systems. Their use in low-pressure areas (swimming pools, transportation lines etc.) is subject to a maximum pressure load of 15 m Water Column (1,5 bar) and a temperature of 30°C (10 years). There is also a certain range of moulded fittings.
Painting Geberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibi-lity of the material both have a negative impact on paint. If painting is unavoidable, the paint product to be used should be tested for compatibility with the HDPE.
Tightness Many years of experience with welding HDPE Pipes, have shown that the butt welds do not give any problems as the welding parts are circular on the inside and do not add to the normal risk of blocking.

Manufacturing process of HDPE pipes

As a result of manufacturing, the molecule chains are stretched and than cooled down from about 230°C to 40°C. This enormous drop in temperature results in tensile stresses which are «frozen in» by the cooling down process.
When hot water flows through a streched pipe or the pipe is heated up by doing a welding joint, e.g. with an electroweld sleeve coupling, the expanded molecules relax and return to their normal state. The pipe becomes shorter.
Stretched molecules after manufacturing(non tempered pipes)
Without tempering, shortening of dimensions can create gaps between pipe and fitting, pipes can be pulled apart high risk of leakage!

Effects of annealing of Geberit HDPE pipes
Molecules after Geberit annealing process(all Geberit HDPE pipes)
The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat shortening of dimensions after heat load in the plastic pipe is to take preventative measures (Tempering) during manufacture. Geberit pipes are therefore stored in a hot water bath after manufacture, this allows the expanded molecules to relax and return to their normal state = No stresses on Geberit pipes.
Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress on joints and fixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements for electroweld sleeve couplings can be met.

The significance of the pH value
One of the most crucial factors in selecting a material for a drainage installation is 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 specific discharge it is important not only to know the pH value of the effluent but the chemical resistance of the pipe materials. (see Chemical Resistance tables on pages 65 to asses the performance of Geberit HDPE at various temperatures)
The pH value is therefore important in assessing the chemical level as it will indicate whether the effluent is acid, neutral or alkaline. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 (see table below). PH valve 7 neutral.

Explanation
When the pipe wall material comes into contact with substan-ces flowing through the pipe, different processes can takeplace, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), the extractionof soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or chemical reac-tions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which can sometimes causethe properties of the pipes or pipeline parts to change.
The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contactwith effluent substances can be classed as follows:
Resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being suitable
Limited resistance The suitability of the pipe wall material must be checked ineach individual case; if necessary, further tests should be carried out.
Not resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being unsuitable.
