Geberit HDPE jointing methods Overview
Butt welding All diameters from Ø 32 to 315 mm can be welded. Connection properties b) not to be opened c) tension-resistant
The many Geberit jointing methods offer solutions for all situations.
Use Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous benefits of prefabrication; HDPE needs no other component in order to be welded. Electroweld sleeve coupling
Butt weld
Ring-seal socket
It can be used in all circumstances where prefabrication is used on site or in the workshop.
Screw-threaded joint
A simple and reliable connection
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°.
Linear expansion socket
F lan ge j oi nt
C on tr act io n s le eve
C ou pl in g f or S il en t-d b2 0 and adapter only
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.
Allowance for butt welds
These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to the way in which they are assembled as follows:
pip e diameter (mm) 32–75 90 butt weld s (mm)
a) To be opened Jointing methods which can be disconnected after assembly.
c) Tension-resistant Connections which withstand tensional forces. d) Non-tension-resistant Connections which cannot withstand tensional forces.

Use Use Ring-seal socket joints can be used to provide a connection between various prefabricated parts for simpler assembly.
On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outside diameter provides a great advantage.
Assembly A short, simple and reliable connection
Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The joint obtained is simple, quick and reliable. The heating and meltin g zone is divided into two fields, as there are n o electrical resistances in the centre of the sleeve. This provides a very satisfactory safety factor.
60
ø 40 – 160
ø 200 – 315
Protection cap
Ring-seal sockets are provided with a yellow protection cap to prevent the ingress of debris during installation.
Also the ends of the pipes are not heated, th e 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 tolerances. The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been made they are entirely covered by PE.

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 access is difficult.
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 s ockets and screwthreaded 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 connected by individual joints. For HDPE approximately 15 mm of spigot should be allowed for every 1 m of pipe. The pipe must be full y inserted into the socket, because the socket does not act as an expander. Owing to the pipe thickness and the low thermal conductivity 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. Th e O-ring remains fixed in the seat and is always in contact with the pipe.

Use
Screw-threaded joints are used for assembly of various prefabricated parts when it is necessary to easily dismantle and also as the connection to sink traps and shower trays.
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.
The seal is pressed against the thread.
.
Different conditions apply for underground installations. For this application field see page 48.
A minimum surface area of the seal is in contact with water.

Use
.
Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screwthreaded 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.

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 wi th stainless steel protection for the rubber seal can be used for heavy duty industrial and laboratory applications.

Use
Use
Flanges are normally used as disconnectable joints for low pressure installations (industrial plant, pump connection, tanks and swimming pools).
The application field of the coupling is to connect Geberit Silent-db20 pipes and fittings. The coupling enable an even inner surface of the connections and the noise requirements can be fulfilled.
The flange connection system offers easy connection to existi ng iron and steel installations.
Installation As inspection access opening made by using a blind flange. It is advisable to mark the inseration depth of HDPE Silent coupling. Do the pipe ends accordingly in order to ensure that they are not subject to tension. Support rings are not required for the Silent pipes and fittings.
Flanges are sintered, i.e. they are coated with polyethylene, and have standard dimensions (PN 3.2 – PN 10).

Use The Geberit HDPE contraction s leeve 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.
Use The adapter clamps have multiple functions and can consequently be used as adapters to thirdparty materials as well as any other types of connection.
Installation The 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 n ow shrink and give an absolute watertight and strong connection. Afterwards fix the contraction sleeve pipe with an anchor bracket.
Installation It is necessary to insert an appropriate reinforcement ring into the ends of the HDPE pipe first when these clamps are used as adapters to HDPE pipes or for HDPE pipe connections.

Geberit HDPE pipes are to be fixed with anchor brackets (A) and guide brackets (G).
Principal: Every pipe installation exceeding a certain distance (6 meters) must be protected against mechanical load with an expansion socket.
The distance between the anchor bracket and the first guide bracket must be respected as follows:

When fitting collector pipelines extend 6 m it is necessary to fit expansion sockets and secure them with anchor brackets (see p. 24). Between the anchor brackets, guide brackets must be installed at the distance SA or SB (see p. 26).
Not only does the HDPE expansion socket absorb thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature changes caused by water discharge, but it also makes pipe assembly easier, assisting connection at each floor level.
Rules: – Maximum distance between Geberit HDPE expansion sockets 6 m – Inser ting depth depending on ambient temperature – Anch or bracket directly on each Geberit HDPE expansion socket – Guide brackets located along the collector pipeline (see page 26).
Rule: One Geberit HDPE expansion socket at each floor level

2. Stack with branch in concrete

Prevention of thermal movement
Combination of stacks and collector pipelines Principal: Any variation in length must be prevented by embedded fixed points (electroweld sleeve couplings, branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provision of corresponding fixed point structures. Rules: – One Geberit HDPE expansi on socket at each floor level – One Geberit HDPE expansi on socket at each branch – One Geberit HDPE expansi on socket at each change of direction – Anch or bracket on each Geberit HDPE expansion socket.

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.
Rules: Anchor brackets must be stronger than the possible forces generated during thermal expansion or contraction of Geberit HDPE pipes. The examples of anchor brackets below show a typical rigid installation.

P
Anchor bracket with electrowelding tape.
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.

Underground drainage pipes of Geberit HDPE Not only has Geberit HDPE proven itself excellently for many years for drainage systems inside of buildings such as: – s oil and waste stacks – vent pipes – connection and branch pipes – collector pipes but it is also suitable for underground applications as: – ground pipes – domestic drainage pipes
Push the pipe into the expansion socket.
Important: Fix each expansion socket with an anchor bracket !
Please note:
✗
The marking of the insertion depth and the assigned length of pipe on the expansion socket does not apply for buried pipes, unless the same temperature fluctuations as in the building drainage system are anticipated.
Criteria for underground drainage pipes 1. Tightness Environmental protection regulationsdo 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 assurance of universal resistance to the greatly diversified types of chemical attack by the disposal water, as well as by external factors (acidic soils).
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.
3. Flexibility Geberit HDPE is a flexible, operationally reliable drainage system, even in soils in which a certain degree of settling of ground must be anticipated.

Rigid installation
Underground installation of Geberit expansion sockets
Rigid fixation
The rigid fixings m ust be stronger than the possible expansion or contraction forces of the HDPE pipe.
In addition to the butt-welded and electrically welded connection, the expansion socket is an ideal connection in underground drainage systems. Since in such systems lower temperature differences are usually encountered than in stacks and connector pipes, smaller length variations can be accounted for.

Pipes penetrating through building walls
Connection to manhole
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.
Plastic pipes should only be connected with manholes by means of a special manhole sleeve. Since settling of ground has to be expected such a sleeve must have the same ideal characteristics as Geberit HDPE: it must assure tightness and at the same time flexibility.
Open manhole
In such cases Geberit HDPE is an ideal material, since it assures tightness and at the same time provides maximum flexibility.

Drainage of bridges Installation indications
Drainage requirements for bridges Traffic safety/Maintenance
Laid in concrete
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 construction site. The smooth walled pipes make a trouble-free maintenance and service possible, whereby all modern cleaning equip ment can be used.
Piping embedded in the bridge structure can never be replaced. It is therefore essential that a drainage material which offers the greatest security is used. When choosing this material, the consolidation of the concrete, temperature variations, contraction and creep, as well as the prestressing of the bridge must be taken into consideration.
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.
Thermal movement
Example 1
Example 2
The following points must be observed – Location of supports or piles – Horizontal movement of the bridge on the supports
Heating tape
– Deflection of the bridge
Ground water protection
– Swaying of the bridge – The watertightness of the expansion socket (example 1)
Where the bridge crosses a river, railway or another road, an absolutely watertight system is essential. In accordance with the anti-pollution laws, protection must be maintained in the event of an accident.
In the case of example 2 an expansion funnel is required to absorb the lateral movements.

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.

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 important points should be observed:

Geberit HDPE pipes are sometimes used as suction pipelines for pumpsets. The higher the su ction lift is, the higher the negative pressure inside the pipeline. 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.
2. If the flow rate is smaller than 5 l/s the vertical fall section of the pipe loop has to be increased.

Function:
The weakening of a fire protection wall or ceiling is not allowed under any circumstances.
Housing with flexible fastening brackets Foaming firestop material
Once the temperature in the room which is ablaze reaches a certain level, the intumescent material expands as a foam and closes off the cross-section of the pipe, therefore preventning (for a certain required length of time) the fire and smoke from spreading through the opening.
The integrity of the wall or ceiling will be maintained for the permitted periods when Geberit fire stoppers are used as illustrated.

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.
Comments on the individual properties 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.
Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG) The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (sh ortening 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 s afety of the joints, as there is no chance of joints pulli ng apart later due to shortening of length.
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.
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.
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.
Flexibility The flexibility of th e piping material can be th e 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Condensate Geberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during short periods of undercooling.
Comments on the individual properties
Comments on the individual properties
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.
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.
Non-conductive Plastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry. HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.
Protection against blockages HDPE’s water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard. – Rapid outflow of water – Prevention of deposits
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 compression 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.
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.
Solar radiation Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UV rays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.
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. 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. Painting Geberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibility 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. 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 S0 4 ) when exposed over long periods at room temperature.

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.
9 Drawing device 10 Finished pipe
As a result of manu facturing, 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.
Molecules after Geberit annealing process (all Geberit HDPE pipes)
Stretched molecules after manufacturing (non tempered pipes)
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.
Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress on join ts and fixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements for electroweld sleeve couplings can be met.
Length = 5000 mm
After manufacture
Without tempering, shortening of dimensions can create gaps between pipe and fitting, pipes can be pulled apart high risk of leakage!
Admitted shortening according to standards 150 mm
Max. admitted shortening according to Geberit licence 50 mm
The significance of the pH value
Chemical resistance list
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 mos t 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 t he chemical level as i t 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.

Chemical resistance list
When the pipe wall material comes into contact with substances flowing through the pipe, different processes can take place, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), the extraction of soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or chemical reactions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which can sometimes cause the properties of the pipes or pipeline parts to change. The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contact with 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 in each individual case; if necessary, further tests should be carried out.
Not resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being unsuitable.
