The notes in this Installer Guide are intended to assist professional plumbers to obtain the best results from using flexible push-fit plumbing, enhancing good plumbing practice. It is not sufficient to simply replace item for item, pipe length for pipe length, as this approach will not derive the maximum benefit from the system. It is necessary to design the system from the outset, embracing the benefits the system offers to achieve maximum benefits. ® Enhanced Hep2O flexibility means an opportunity to develop further skills when planning and installing plumbing, offering a comprehensive range of pipes and fittings to meet plumbing requirements. Greater pipe flexibility, long coil lengths and guaranteed joint performance, enables installations to be completed with fewer joints minimising system costs. Pipes can be cabled into position avoiding the awkward manoeuvring ® associated with rigid straight lengths. Hep2O fittings are designed to ® accept copper as well as Hep2O pipe, enabling systems to be mixed if required. ® Hep2O is a tried and tested system, which has been in use in the UK for over 25 years. Approvals ® Hep2O is manufactured and kitemarked to Class S of BS 7291, Parts 1 and 2 and is manufactured within a BS 7291 Quality Management System which satisfies BSEN ISO9002 requirements. ® Hep2O Barrier Pipe is covered by Agrément Certificate 92/2823 to Class ‘S’ of BS 7291. ® Hep O Is listed in the Water Fittings and Materials ED 2 V T A RO C PP DU Directory - Listing Number 0112066. PRO ® Hep2O is suitable for use in domestic water distribution and central heating systems including pressurised systems and combination boilers in accordance with Table No. 1. It may also be used in buildings other than dwellings providing the service conditions are not exceeded. Table No. 1 Peak Life Cycle Operating Temperatures/Pressures 20°C 30°C 40°C 50°C 60°C 70°C 80°C 95°C Short Malfunction at 114°C Safe pressures: Bar 12 11.5 11 10.5 9 8 7 6 3 psi 174 167 160 152 131 116 102 87 43.5 Head of water (m) 120 115 110 105 90 80 70 60 29 3 ® The Hep2O Installer Guide for Flexible Push-Fit Plumbing ® Hep2O has a minimum design life expectancy of 50 years provided the system is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. These recommendations include service temperatures and pressures. Peak life cycle operating temperatures / pressures are given in Table No. 1. As a result of its rigorous Quality Management Programme Wavin offer a 50 year guarantee ® against defects in materials or manufacturing of all Hep2O pipe and fittings. Features and Benefits ® Hep2O has evolved over 25 years to offer improved installation advantages, whilst maintaining proven long term performance benefits. ® Flexible pipe work and joint security are the key features of Hep2O . Pipe flexibility in conjunction with straight coils in SmartPackTM dispensers enables pipe to be cabled into position, with fewer joints, ® minimising system costs. The Hep2O fitting incorporates a high integrity grab wedge and robust pre-lubricated ‘O’ ring, offering the installer smoother pipe insertion and lower jointing forces. The re-usable grab wedge gives reliable jointing even when the fitting has been dismantled and reassembled. Installation ® Hep2O introduces a new flexibility for the professional to exploit during installation. Cabling Ability Less Jointing Low Wastage Measure and Cut High Resistance to Rotatable Fittings In-situ Impact Easier Handling Less Risk Jointing, No Naked Flame 4 ® The Hep2O Installer Guide for Flexible Push-Fit Plumbing Performance ® Once installed Hep2O offers considerable benefits over traditional rigid systems. 1 No Scale Build-up No Burst Pipes Quieter Cool to the Touch Solder Free Corrosion Free System Assembly ® In skilled hands the flexible Hep2O plumbing system guarantees professional sitework. 5 Basics Pipe Selection ® Hep2O pipe is manufactured as two types, Standard and Barrier. Their correct applications are as follows:- Standard Pipe Standard pipe is suitable for domestic hot and cold water services and heating applications. As standard pipe may allow the ingress of minute amounts of oxygen molecules through the pipe wall when used for heating a suitable inhibitor (Sentinel or Fernox MB1) should be used. Barrier Pipe Barrier pipe is designed for central heating systems and incorporates an oxygen barrier to inhibit oxygen permeation. The use of inhibitors with barrier pipe is still recommended as corrosion can occur in all types of system regardless of pipe material. Barrier pipe may be used for domestic hot and cold water services. ® Both Hep2O Standard and Barrier Pipe is accepted by British Gas/ Scottish Gas Central Heating Care Contracts. Note: ® Hep2O pipe is not suitable for the conveyance of gas. Pipe Specification The 15mm, 22mm and 28mm pipe is available in straight lengths and coils. The 10mm pipe is only supplied in coils. Availability is clearly shown in Table 2 (see page 7). Straight Lengths ® Straight lengths of Hep2O are not rigid, and are as flexible as coiled pipe. Straight lengths are primarily for exposed pipework where neatness is important or for use where only short lengths are required. Coils ® Coiled Hep2O is primarily suited to ‘first fix’ work on site, where minimal pipe jointing is desirable. ® Hep2O is available in straight coils, in SmartPackTM dispensers. Unlike other forms of coiled plastic pipe, ® Hep2O does not tend to return to its coiled state when uncoiled for installation. ® Hep2O straight coiled pipe has a tendency to remain straight when uncoiled with no loss of flexibility. ® ® Hep2O Pipe in Pipe System incorporates Hep2O Barrier Pipe in a pre-sheathed conduit ready for underscreed installation, saving time, effort and complies with current regulations. 6 Basics Table No. 2 Standard and Barrier Pipe Lengths 10mm 15mm 22mm 28mm Straight Lengths 3m 6m Coils 2 25m 50m 100m Pipe in Pipe 25m 50m G Cut Length Standard and Barrier Straight Cut Lengths.

G Pipe in Pipe System ® Hep2O Barrier Pipe in Blue or Red Conduit. 7 Basics Pipe Cutting Basic Jointing/Pipe Cutting ® When cutting Hep2O pipe it is essential to use the correct tools. Only the recommended cutters as shown in the current trade price list (HD74, HD75, HD77 or HD78) should be used. Do not use a hacksaw. (Figure No. 1) Before making a joint ensure the pipe end is clean, cut square and free from burrs and surface damage. (Figure No. 2). Place the pipe in the jaws of the cutter and apply pressure, the pipe should be rotated whilst maintaining the pressure until the pipe is severed. (Figure No. 3) DON’T Figure No. 1 Do not use a hacksaw to cut ® Hep2O pipe. DON’T Figure No. 2 Do not use damaged pipe. Ensure pipe is free from burrs and surface damage. To ensure adequate insertion, essential for a secureV joint, cut the pipe square at one of the cutting/insertion marks ‘ ’. The distance between these marks indicates full socket depth (Figure No. 3). Figure No. 3 When it may not be possible to use the ‘V ’ marks eg. badly lit areas, jointing copper pipe or where an exact length is required, mark the insertion depth on the pipe using a pencil or suitable marker pen. The correct insertion depth can be obtained by holding the pipe against the fitting or by measuring with a rule, as shown (Figure No. 4). The depth of insertion is shown in Table 3 at the end of this section. 8 Basics Pipe Cutting cont.

Despite the high quality of drinking water in the Nordic countries, the condition of the old pipe networks poses challenges. For example, Tin Finland most of the network was built between 1960 and 1990 and in the biggest cities parts of the network are over 100 years old. According to a recent study in Finland (ROTI 2019), 12% of the sewer network and 12% of the potable water network has deteriorated and there is an increasing need to renovate the old networks to both ensure water quality and minimise water losses. In Finland, 68 million m3 of mains water is lost every year and a substantial part of this is due to leakages (SYKE 2018). In Sweden, the total leakage of clean drinking water is about 15% on average, corresponding to 99 million m3 (Svenskt Vatten 2019). This is not only a waste of clean drinking water – resources used to collect, treat and pump the drinking water are also wasted. Losses of water, and in issue 2/2019 particular leakages, are relevant for distribution network efficiency in all European countries. New innovations are needed to help solve these challenges. On p. 12, you can read about how our new Water Monitoring Services are helping the city of Pori in Finland to monitor 4 In Brief 16 Industrial its leakages.

  • National Museum of the United States Army
    National Museum of the United States Army na.rehau.com/projects Army museum enlists REHAU radiant system for climate control After more than 240 years of honorably serving the country, the U.S. Army is getting its own museum. Sited on a hilltop at Fort Belvoir in northern Virginia, the museum will occupy more than 80 acres of grounds and feature 185,000 ft² (17,187 m²) of exhibition and support space. Museum visitors will enter through a spacious lobby with a 35-ft (10.7-m) ceiling that features representations of the Army’s history. An engraved Honor Wall at the southern end of the lobby commemorates each of the battles fought in the Army’s history. The lobby leads to a vast, open exhibit hall – “Essentially, an airport hangar,” said Jason Calcagno, project manager during the museum’s construction for Southland Industries, the design- build company that served as the mechanical engineer for the project. Temperature control for the exhibit hall and the lobby is provided, in part, by a REHAU radiant heating and cooling system. Calcagno explains that this technology is ideal for this application, because the environment is controlled near the ground for visitor comfort, while energy is conserved by reducing the heating and cooling requirement in the air space higher up. A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) provides ventilation and humidity control. Combining radiant and DOAS for space conditioning significantly reduces the amount of HVAC energy, which in REHAU’s experience has been as much as 35 percent when compared to a standard forced-air system.

  • UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS Guidance Notes 02
    WARM WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS Guidance Notes 02 WARM WATER UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS Introduction Underfloor heating systems consist of a series of pipes which are integrated into the floor structure and conduct heat to the surface of the floor. The heating pipe is the main component of the system. By using flexible pipes joined to a central manifold, continuous lengths can be installed within the floor structure without jointing. Underfloor heating systems provide an attractive alternative to radiators and other convective heating systems. They can easily be used in all types of modern floor construction. Underfloor heating is widely used in mainland Europe. In the UK, it is frequently used in commercial situations and luxury homes. Its benefits are increasingly accepted in housing developments and self-build applications. Benefits Underfloor heating creates an even surface temperature across the entire floor area within the building. Using the floor as the heating element frees wall and floor space for furniture, decorations and other uses. However, in utility rooms and bathrooms where radiators may be desirable (for airing clothes, etc.), they can be incorporated into the system and used in conjunction with the underfloor heating. Underfloor heating systems are safe and clean. As the floor is large in comparison with a normal wall mounted radiator, the system requires a much lower water temperature to achieve the same room temperature, eliminating the risk of burns and improving operating efficiencies. It reduces wasted heat at levels above head height which reduces running costs. As the systems generally operate with a flow temperature between 40°C to 50°C, the use of a condensing boiler can deliver efficiencies of up to 98%.

    ISI BUILDING PRODUCTS ® ENGINEERED FILMS DIVISION WWW.ISIBP.COM UNDER-SLAB VAPOR BARRIERS VAPOR BARRIER BACKGROUND Water vapor from sub-slab conditions will pass through the pores of an unprotected concrete slab through vapor diffusion. This vapor transmission creates a conicted environment for the oor coating or adhesive. Because government regulations were established to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in numerous architectural coatings, specically oor coatings and adhesives, many solvent based ooring materials have been changed to water based. When exposed to water and alkalinity these water based coatings and adhesives are prone to re-emulsication resulting in costly ooring failures. In addition to ooring failures, moisture migration also creates poor indoor air quality (IAQ), mold, mildew, fungi and damage to the slab and its components. VAPOR BARRIER PURPOSE The inltration of water vapor and gas from the earth through concrete slabs is a costly building liability. Under-slab vapor barriers/retarders provide an inexpensive insurance policy to protect oors and other moisture sensitive equipment within the building's interior. The denition of a vapor barrier/retarder, according to ASTM E 1745, "is a material or construction that impedes the transmission of water vapor under specied conditions." By inhibiting moisture and soil gas migration, under-slab vapor barriers/retarders greatly reduce condensation, retard mold growth, provide healthy breathing conditions within a building, prevent ooring failures and aid in controlling structural degradation. VAPOR BARRIER WHAT TO LOOK FOR ASTM E 1745 (Standard Specication for Plastic Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Soil or Granular Fill under Concrete Slabs) standardizes vapor barriers/retarders according to various performance properties.
