aquatherm greenpipe
The ultimate in potable water piping technology
aquatherm greenpipe is a pressure pipe system with a wide range of applications. Exceptional chemical purity and outstanding physical strength have made aquatherm greenpipe successful in over 70 countries worldwide. The aquatherm greenpipe system can be used in almost every aspect of the piping industry, but is best suited for potable and food-grade applications where the combination of chemical safety and physical durability can truly perform. Aquatherm Greenpipe can also be used for multipurpose residential sprinkler applications per NFPA 13D. With over 400 fittings, transitions, and valves, Aquatherm Greenpipe is an easy fit into any design or space. The 2 dimensions range from 1/ to 18 nominal diameter (ND). Aquatherm Greenpipe is also available with UV protection for outdoor installations and faser-composite technology, which reduces linear expansion.
climatherm
A better choice for hydronics, compressed air, and industrial applications
climatherm pipe is specifically engineered for applications beyond potable water installations. It offers a tougher, longer lasting, more environmentally responsible solution to comparable non-potable pressure systems. In addition to the general advantages of the PP-R pipe system, climatherm offers higher volumetric flow values due to smaller wall thickness and is high-heat stabilized for short exposures to temperatures beyond the intended design. PP-R piping is extremely resistant to impact, corrosion, and seismic stresses. The climatherm system uses the same socket fittings and tools as the aquatherm greenpipe system, making installation simple and easy. The dimensions range from to 24 ND. The blue pipe is also available with UV protection for outdoor installations and faser-composite technology, which reduces linear expansion.

Features
aquatherm lilac
The perfect solution for recycled, reclaimed, & rainwater applications
Water conservation systems are being specified and installed much more frequently as building and plumbing codes are updated to encourage more responsible water use. Most codes require that these systems be kept entirely separate from the potable water supply and that the piping be color coded and labeled to identify it as non-potable. The water from reclaimed, recycled and rainwater sources can be used for flushing, irrigation, cleaning and other applications. aquatherm lilac is available from 1/2 to 10 sizes and uses the same fittings as other Aquatherm systems. The aquatherm lilac pipe system has been developed exclusively for these applications. The piping uses the same durable, corrosion-resistant PP-R material that has been successfully used for hot and cold water distribution for over 35 years. This, combined with design modifications, coloring, marking, and independent third-party certification by NSF International, make aquatherm lilac the ideal choice for water conservation.

Fields of application
Aquatherm piping systems are ideal for many pressurized applications due to their durability and versatility. Potable water and food-grade applications For use in residential buildings, hospitals, hotels, office and school buildings, shipbuilding, sports facilities, highrise construction, distribution mains, and many other applications, aquatherm greenpipe is safe to be used in direct contact with food and potable water. Compressed air systems aquatherm greenpipe and climatherm are ideal for use in light industry, heavy industry, automotive mechanic shops, etc. due to phenomenal pressure ratings and resistance to shattering. Aquatherm piping systems do not corrode, protecting the attached equipment from rust and debris.
Swimming pools For applications where aggressive chemicals are constantly present inside the pipe, climatherm is highly resistant and non-corroding. (Chemical compatibility should always be verified using the form on page 3.4).
1.4
Heating distribution For residential, commercial, and industrial use, climatherm with faser-composite is an ideal choice due to its reduced linear expansion and resistance to corrosion, which increases service life. It can also be used for snowmelt applications in concrete or asphalt. Marine applications Aquatherm pipe is made from a hydrophobic, low-friction material that protects it from the dissolved minerals contained in seawater, freshwater, and brine.
Features
Chilled water distribution For residential, commercial, and industrial use, climatherm has a natural insulation value that helps reduce heat gain and often eliminates problems with condensation. Excellent for cooling towers and condenser water. Irrigation For greywater applications where the system is exposed to varying water quality and the potential of freezing, aquatherm lilac is corrosion resistant and can withstand isolated instances of freezing. Industrial applications For the processing and transport of aggressive mediums and materials, aquatherm greenpipe and climatherm resist most types of chemicals.
Direct-buried applications In cases where the pipe needs to be buried in soil, sand, or concrete, climatherm, aquatherm greenpipe, and aquatherm lilac are all safe and non-leaching. Aquatherm pipe is also suitable for directional boring. In-floor heating systems For use in radiant heating applications. Aquatherms fused connections, low pressure drops, and 8 to 1 bending radius (non-faser only) make for a safe and efficient installation. Aquatherms fusion outlets allow for an extended manifold layout, reducing costs and improving performance.
Recycled, reclaimed, and rainwater applications aquatherm lilac pipe is ideally suited for non-potable service water due to resistance to corrosion, scaling, and microbiological growth and its distinct purple coloring.
Multipurpose fire sprinkler applications For light hazard occupancies, aquatherm greenpipe can be integrated with the potable water system to provide fire protection. The high flow rates allow for mains and branches to be run through the building rather than many individual pipes, keeping the system simple and efficient. External fittings do not restrict flow throughout the system.
1.5
Features
Fusiolen PP-R
All Aquatherm pipes and fittings are made of Fusiolen PP-R. The Fusiolen PP-R material is both physically and chemically resistant to the abuse that can damage other materials. It is also a low friction material, protecting it from abrasion and reducing pressure loss. The superior fusion properties of Fusiolen PP-R result in a permanent, homogeneous connection that is chemically indistinguishable from the rest of the material. This and countless other benefits have made the Aquatherm pipe systems and the raw material Fusiolen PP-R successful and respected worldwide.
Non-leaching composition
PP-R is a hydrophobic material, meaning it repels polarized molecules like H2O. By using a material that does not interact with water or most other fluids, Aquatherm ensures that chemicals from the pipe walls and fittings will never leach into drinking water or the underground water table. This makes the pipe healthier for the people using it and safer for the environment they live in.
High-opacity pigmentation
To prevent biofilm formation, Fusiolen PP-R is intentionally pigmented to be opaque, preventing light from entering the pipe. This helps protect the pipe from microbiological buildup and increases the service life of the system.
Low-impact lifecycle
Fusiolen PP-R is fully recyclable and can be ground, melted, and re-used in car parts, home products, food packaging, medical equipment, and other applications. There are no harmful waste products created by the processing or disposal of Fusiolen PP-R. The pipe and fittings made with Fusiolen PP-R have an estimated service life of over 60 years. As a result, Aquatherms pipe systems require no maintenance or costly repairs.
High-temperature stabilization
Fusiolen PP-R is heat stabilized, giving it a much higher safety factor than traditional polypropylene. Under extreme temperatures, Fusiolen PP-R will last six times longer without material degradation. Fusiolen PP-R C, the material used in climatherm, is high-heat stabilized to last even longer. This means that occasional exposure to high temperatures due to mechanical failure wont damage the Aquatherm pipe systems.
Proven worldwide
The exceptional performance of Aquatherm piping systems has been proven worldwide for nearly 40 years. Aquatherm piping systems have been tested, listed, and certified by numerous national and international organizations, including:
NSF, ICC, IAPMO, ASTM, FM (USA) CSA, BNQ, CFIA (Canada) DVGW, SKZ (Germany) WRAS (UK) SVGW (Switzerland) SAI-Global (Australia) SITAC (Sweden) and many more!

FEATURES
Ecological advantages
Since its founding in 1973, Aquatherm has worked hard to ensure that its products and manufacturing processes do not pollute the earths sensitive ecosystems. Long before environmental protection was recognized as a global issue, Aquatherm piping systems fulfilled the high ecological standards demanded today. Being green isnt just a fad with Aquatherm; its our way of doing business. Aquatherm believes that ecological and economic interests should go hand-in-hand, both in the production and in the installation of our products. Aquatherms PP-R pipes and fittings are even fully recyclable, minimizing their impact from start to finish. To ensure its environmental compatibility, the base PP-R material and additives (color pigments and stabilizers) are extensively tested by Aquatherms own laboratory as well as independent researchers to ensure that nothing harmful is ever put into our pipes.
Greywater-safe material
To help reduce waste, many buildings are integrating water conservation systems. These systems use non-potable water for irrigation, flushing, and other suitable applications. Greywater can be highly oxygenated and aggressive toward most piping materials, but PP-R is resistant to all qualities of greywater, making it an ideal choice for water conservation systems. The aquatherm lilac pipe is even colored purple to help distinguish it from potable and hydronic lines.

Features
System features
Polypropylene-random
Aquatherm piping systems are made from the same type of material used in high-purity systems, making them ideal for potable water and food-grade applications. The Aquatherm piping systems do not support the formation of mineral deposits and are opaque so as to not promote microbiological growth. PP-R does not contain any chemicals that can leach from the pipe wall into the water. The water delivered to the tap is always the same quality as it was when it entered the system.

Note: All Aquatherm products are manufactured using metric sizing. This table shows matching nominal diameters in imperial units. Metric OD will always be printed on the pipe and fittings.
FEATURES
60+ year lifespan
Aquatherm piping systems resist the scaling and corrosion that reduce the performance of other piping systems. The walls of the PP-R piping systems generate less friction than other systems, eliminating the abrasion that can cause pinhole leaks and shorten the life cycle of the pipe. The heat fusion joints maintain the same properties as the pipe itself, so physical stresses will not damage their integrity. Overall, the Aquatherm piping systems last longer with less maintenance than other systems, adding greater value to each installation. With proper design, Aquatherm piping systems can last for over 60 years.
Shatterproof material
Unlike other rigid plastics that often shatter under impact, Aquatherms piping systems remain flexible and resilient at normal operating temperatures. When hit by a highspeed impact or crushed by a heavy object, systems made from Fusiolen PP-R tend to flatten and split rather than throwing dangerous shrapnel. Often, no structural damage will occur at all. This makes the pipe safer to use, even in high-risk applications. (Note: Damaged pipe may break apart during pressure testing. If there is any risk that the pipe was damaged before or during installation, it is best to stand clear during air testing).
Faser-composite technology
To increase maximum operating temperatures and overall performance, Aquatherm has developed the revolutionary faser-composite layer. The faser-composite material is a mixture of glass fibers and Fusiolen PP-R or Fusiolen PP-R C. This material is extruded as the middle layer of the pipe and allows the pipe to remain rigid at high temperatures without sacrificing any of the other benefits of the pipe. The low concentration of glass fibers does not interfere with the fusion process or the recycling process, so all other aspects of installation and use remain the same.
An unmatched guarantee
As proof of Aquatherms demanding quality standards, all properly installed Aquatherm pipe systems carry a 10-year warranty for property damage liability coverage of up to 15 million per damage event. This warranty covers the pipes, the fittings, and any incidental damage caused by material failure. The policy also provides an additional 15 million for personal injury.
Note: Warranty valid only if installed by an Aquatherm-trained installer using Aquatherm-approved tools. A final pressure test report must be submitted to verify proper installation. Aquatherm cannot warranty failures that are the direct result of improper installation, post-factory mishandling, or operation outside of the manufacturer recommended specifications. Only PP-R, brass, and stainless steel components are covered under the Aquatherm warranty. The warranty does not cover improperly assembled transitions (unless the fitting itself was defective), systems that have not been properly pressure tested, or financial loss due to poor planning, local supplier issues, or failure to order the proper parts and/or tools.
Consistent quality
Aquatherm creates its Fusiolen PP-R from the highest quality PP-R granules and tests it for consistency, purity, and performance at every step. This ensures the quality of every pipe and fitting that Aquatherm makes.
1.9
Features
Installer advantages
Lightweight pipe and fittings
Aquatherm pipes weigh up to 80% less than similarly sized metal piping, making it easier to ship, unpack, position, hang, and put together. Its an added bonus that lets the installer carry more, move faster, and feel less tired at the end of the day.
Durable material
Damaged pipe means lost time and money, which are things that no installer can afford. PP-R is chemically and physically tough and can withstand most forms of incidental damage without cracking or breaking. Installers should still follow the care and handling procedures given in chapter 2 to prevent system failure.
1.10
Features
Fusion outlets
This innovation allows for branch lines to be added after the mains are already in place, reducing labor times and giving the installer unparalleled flexibility. Fusion outlets replace standard reducing tees and offer many advantages such as replacing two connections with one, having a lower pressure drop, and using less material.
Consistent results
One of the major advantages of using PP-R and heat fusion is that the results are both reliable and consistent. The double bead of plastic allows for accurate visual inspection. Imagine turning on an entire system and not having a single leak anywhere.
1.11
Features
Owner advantages
Reduced maintenance costs
Aquatherms PP-R pipes and fittings require virtually no maintenance. They dont require chemical treatments to prevent corrosion and they are not prone to leaking, even from impact or accidental chemical exposure. Fused connections are one material throughout, so theres no issue of gaskets leaking or connections weeping as time goes on. This eliminates costly repairs for everything from small leaks to catastrophic failures.
Occupant-safe installation
Heat fusion is a safe and unobtrusive process that can be done while a building is fully occupied. It does not produce any smoke, fumes, or off-gassing, so theres no need to provide additional ventilation. And with no open flames, there are no requirements for burn permits or a fire watch. Heat-fused connections are also ready for full pressure within minutes, allowing minimum downtime during repairs and expansions.
Extended lifecycle
There is increasing pressure on building owners to go green and make their buildings more sustainable. Aquatherm piping systems give owners a longer lifecycle, improved performance, and peace of mind while having one of the smallest carbon footprints in the industry. Put simply, Aquatherm pipes improve the quality of the building while reducing its impact on the environment.

Planning and engineering with Aquatherm
With unique advantages over both metal and other plastic systems, Aquatherm piping systems offer new possibilities for design and application. By combining revolutionary strength and longevity with industry-leading purity and neutrality, Aquatherm manufactures piping systems that can truly address all possible concerns for potable, foodgrade, hydronic, chemical, and industrial applications. When designing with Aquatherm piping systems, it is important to be aware of its unique features such as the faser-composite for expansion control, the fusion connections, the impact and chemical resistance, and the sound insulation. The natural R-value and reduced friction factors are particularly important because they reduce the amount of energy needed for the system to perform. With careful planning and engineering, it is possible to exceed existing performance standards and maximize a systems efficiency. Be sure to verify all calculations before installing an Aquatherm piping system. The sizing and insulation recommendations given in this catalog are intended for easy reference and are not a substitute for actual engineering.
Determining compatibility
The first step to designing with Aquatherm is to verify that PP-R is an acceptable material choice for a particular application. Aquatherm pipes are suited to a wide variety of applications and generally perform without the problems that plague other systems. However, PP-R still has some chemical, pressure, and temperature considerations that need to be addressed in order to eliminate the risk of failure. Operating outside of the safety parameters provided by Aquatherm can shorten the life of the pipe. By bringing a systems intended load in line with the safety parameters given in this chapter, a designer can ensure that the pipes will last for their entire 60-year lifespan or longer. This chapter contains information to help determine the suitability of PP-R for a given application. Steam systems, water systems with both high temperature and pressure, or systems with high levels of certain aggressive chemicals will likely not be suitable for use with PP-R. If you are uncertain about a specific application, contact Aquatherm and we will help you determine the suitability of our piping systems.
Determining efficiency
Aquatherms PP-R pipes offer a number of energy benefits including improved flow rates, reduced pressure loss, and reduced heat loss and heat gain. Designers can help reduce both installation and operation costs by taking advantage of these benefits. Reducing these costs not only helps the buildings owner and occupants but also the environment.
3.1
Planning
Working pressure
The working pressure tables illustrate the permissible working pressures of the Aquatherm piping systems. The balance between working pressure and operating temperature varies based on the wall thickness of the pipe as well as the presence of a faser-composite layer. Aquatherms heat-stabilized PP-R negates the effects of occasional, short-term increases in temperature, so these do not need to be taken into account. The tables with constant operating parameters assume a steady, year-round load. Their expected minimums are based on negligible material degradation during that time. The seasonal peaks table assumes that the system will only operate at full capacity during winter months and will operate at a lower, more efficient capacity during the rest of the year. The Compressed air table assumes an air temperature under 100 F. These tables are based on the piping system using water or water mixed with propylene or ethylene glycol. For applications using different fluids or operating conditions outside those given below please contact your local Aquatherm Representative. Aquatherm pipes are not intended for operational temperatures colder than -5 F, as the pipes begin to lose their resistance to impact.

Flame spread / Smoke development
Aquatherm piping systems do not produce toxic by-products during combustion. In a fully developed fire, Fusiolen PP-R will only produce CO2 and H2Ogas. In an under-developed fire trace amounts of CO can be produced, but this is common in all combustible materials such as wood and paper. Many building codes do not consider the toxicity of the smoke produced but focus only on the volume and opacity of the smoke. Therefore, it is important to install only pipe that meets local code requirements. These codes generally reference ASTM E84 in the United States and CAN/ULC S-102.2 in Canada and require that the installed pipe have a Flame Spread Index of 25 or less and Smoke Development Index of 50 or less. According to 2012 IMC and UMC building codes, materials that are completely enclosed in a fire rated material, such as pipe insulation, are considered fire rated as well.
Aquatherm Advanced
In order to meet flamespread and smoke development ratings, Aquatherm has tested and listed a system in which the pipe is encased in a fire resistant material. Originally, this system exclusively used Reflectix insulation.
the E84 and S-102.2 ratings. The Aquatherm Advanced systems are tested and listed with the pipe lengths covered and the fittings uncovered to simplify the installation process. Aquatherm Advanced may also provide sufficient insulation value for hot and cold applications, but Aquatherm does not warranty it for thermal performance or condensation protection. The wrap and tape used for Aquatherm Advanced are products of Reflectix, an unrelated third-party company. the 25/50 flame spread and smoke development requirements. This solution requires that the fittings be insulated as well and is subject to or dedicated outdoor air eliminates the health and safety risks introduced by a return air plenum. Pipe that is not inside a return air plenum generally does not need to meet flame spread and smoke development requirements.
With these options, the engineer should be able to comply with all local codes involving flame spread and smoke development. However, it is important to confirm with local officials that the measures being taken are acceptable before beginning the installation.

Special applications
Due to their special material properties, Aquatherm pipes and fittings are generally chemical resistant. However, transition elements with brass inserts are not suitable for all media. For corrosive applications using Aquatherm piping systems, it is advisable to use connections and valves that are strictly polypropylene and/or stainless steel (see chapter 6). Special application inquiry for Aquatherm pipe systems To find out if the pipe is suitable for a specific application, fill out the inquiry form below and submit it to an Aquatherm representative. This form can be used for chemical, highheat, high-pressure, or other non-standard applications. For your convenience, the following form may be photocopied and sent in by fax, or a digital version of this form is available on our web site at www.aquatherm.com/compatibility.

Planning
Fire stopping
Polypropylene is a combustible material and must be treated as such. Generally, when penetrating a fire-rated assembly, fire stopping must be used to give the penetration a fire rating that matches the rating of the assembly. However, building code requirements vary greatly between areas. It is critical that fire stopping issues be addressed early in the design and construction of a project. Please contact your fire stopping manufacturer for current listing and installation requirements. A list of manufacturers who have tested and listed their products for use with Aquatherm piping systems can be found at www.aquatherm.com/ firestopping
Thrust blocking
Due to the inherent strength and integrity of fused connections, thrust blocking is not required.
UV resistance
Pipes made from Fusiolen PP-R and Fusiolen PP-R C are normally not installed where they will be subject to UV radiation. UV radiation can damage and weaken the polypropylene chains over time. For applications in open sunlight, Aquatherm offers its pipes with a UV protective layer. This layer is a black polyethylene coating that is extruded over the regular Aquatherm pipes. UV-protected pipe can be found on pages 6.5 - 6.6.
System protection
Allowing a pump to operate for an extended period of time with zero flow passing through it can result in the pump and adjoining piping system reaching temperatures and pressures far above those recommended by Aquatherm (see pages 3.2 - 3.3). While Aquatherms heat stabilization will protect the pipe from brief exposure to these conditions, prolonged exposure can weaken the pipe and fittings considerably, causing them and other components to fail. It is recommended that the designer provide a sensor system that will warn of temperatures over 180 F, an automatic temperature and pressure relief valve at the pump discharge, or a similar preventative measure. To protect the pipe from exposure to unacceptably high temperatures and pressures that could occur due to prolonged dead heading (pump operating at full speed with flow completely restricted), Aquatherm recommends temperature and pressure relief valves at the discharge of 3 horsepower and larger pumps.

Noise generation
To avoid noise generation and water hammer, the calculated flow rate should not exceed 8 ft/s. Noise generation at this speed is slightly less than copper tube at 4 ft/s. Buried pipe may run up to 12 ft/s, as noise generation is not an issue.
Recommended sizing
The following tables give the head loss and flow rates of the pipe based on the pipe size and the desired GPM. Reducing head loss on the critical leg of the system can allow for downsizing on other sections of pipe. Blue indicates the recommended sizing based on flow rate (approx. 8 ft/s). Yellow indicates the recommended size of the critical leg of the system based on head loss (avg. 3 ft /100 ft or less). This sizing is used for more energy-efficient operation. Green indicates that the recommended size of pipe for the critical leg and other sections of the system are the same.
Where:
PL = pressure loss, psi / 100 ft of pipe Q = flow rate, gpm di = inside diameter of pipe, inches C = flow coefficient = 150 for PP-R piping
Conversion to head loss (ft of head loss per 100 ft of pipe): HL = 2.31(PL) Where: HL = head loss, ft / 100 ft of pipe

Installation concepts
A new way of thinking
Aquatherm piping systems offer many innovative technologies and advantages that can greatly improve the speed and ease of installation. These advantages include:
Prefabrication
Aquatherm piping systems are light, strong, and somewhat flexible, making them ideal for prefabrication. When installing Aquatherm pipe, identify the more complicated assemblies such as drop 90s, flange adapters, branch lines, and headers, and assemble them in-shop or at a prefabrication station on the job site. Many installers will assemble whole mechanical rooms in-shop and move the entire assembly to the job site.
Fusion connections Fusion outlets Lightweight material Resilient, slightly flexible pipe and connections Reduced expansion and contraction
To fully utilize these advantages, a different mind-set from metal or even other plastic systems is required.
A craftsmans pipe
As a company, Aquatherm takes pride in the systems they manufacture and expects the same from those installing it. No matter the quality of the material, the performance of a system will always depend on how carefully and professionally it is installed. Aquatherm piping systems are designed to look neat and clean when installed, making it easier to expand the system or trace lines.
Pre-assembly
Connections done in a shop or at the prefab station on the job site are easier and faster to assemble than connections done on pipe that is already in place. It is possible to greatly speed up installation by attaching the appropriate fittings to one end of the pipe before hanging it. Identify the fittings (couplings, elbows, tees, valves, etc.) that will go with each length of pipe and fuse them together before hanging the pipe in its proper place. This will allow you to assemble as many as half your connections without any of the complications associated with in-line or overhead fusions.
Planning
As with any piping system, the speed and accuracy of an Aquatherm installation is improved with careful planning. Where possible, pre-measure and pre-cut all lengths of pipe based on their intended part in the system. This will allow for a greater degree of prefabrication and a lower probability of error. All fusion connections require a certain amount of space, as well as mobility, around each joint. When installing an Aquatherm piping system, it is important to be conscious of the workspace in which each fusion will be performed. A measure of planning and foresight can greatly improve the speed and ease of an installation. The amount of space needed for a fusion machine to operate varies by manufacturer and machine type. It is best to confirm that the there will be enough space for the machine to operate while planning the installation. If a pipe must pass through an area that is difficult to access, Aquatherm recommends prefabricating all the connections that will be in that area. Once these connections are completed, the assembled pipe and fittings can be set in place and joined to the main system with fusions done in a more accessible location.

Supporting the pipe
There are two types of Aquatherm pipes: faser-composite pipes and non-faser pipes. Faser-composite pipes are designed for hot water installations and non-faser pipes are intended only for use in cold water installations. The faser-composite layer reduces expansion in the pipe and provides linear support. As a result, the support spacing for faser-composite pipe is wider than other plastics in most cases and is dependent on the temperature of the fluid it is carrying. The hanger spacing for cold water pipes is generally uniform. The installer should base hanger spacing on the intended temperature of the pipes, taking into account the temperature of the pipes at the time of installation.

Linear expansion
The linear expansion of pipe depends on the difference between the installation temperature and the operating temperature: T = Toperating temperature - Tinstallation temperature Therefore, cold water pipes have practically no linear expansion. They can experience some contraction, but this is not a concern. The heat-fused connections will not pull apart. Hot water installations can expand visibly and may require expansion loops or sliding elbows to prevent bowing or curving. Aquatherm has significantly reduced the issues related to heat expansion with the introduction of patented faser-composite pipes. the pipe, as the fibers can be removed during the process.
Concealed installation
Unlike most piping materials, PP-R is able to absorb the stress caused by expansion within certain limits. The fasercomposite layer helps keep the pipe within these limits for most applications. Concealed installations generally do not require additional consideration for the expansion of faser-composite pipes. Most insulations give enough expansion space for the pipe. In the case where the expansion is greater than the room to move in the insulation, the material absorbs any stress arising from a residual expansion. The same applies to pipes which do not have to be insulated according to current regulations. The expansion on pipes that dont need to be insulated is minimal because of the lower difference in temperature. The pipe itself can absorb the remaining stress. Embedding the pipe in concrete or plaster will negate most of the linear expansion. The compressive strain and tensile stress arising from this are no longer critical, as the extra forces are absorbed by the pipe itself. This is also true of pipe that is buried in soil or sand.
aquatherm faser-composite
pipes
The faser-composite layer is a unique feature of Aquatherm piping systems. Made from a blend of the Fusiolen PP-R material and e-glass fibers, this layer is perfectly integrated into the center of the Aquatherm pipes. By extruding this special layer into the center of the pipe, the exterior and interior layers remain unaltered.
Open installation
In the case of exposed installations, it is important to maintain the visual trueness of the pipe as well as compensate for any expansive forces. Aquatherms faser-composite pipes make this an easy process. It is important to calculate the expansion of the system and allow the piping to expand. Expansion can be compensated for using sliding elbows and expansion loops. The flexible heat fusion joints will not crack or leak from the tension of expanding and contracting if the bending side is long enough.
The e-glass fibers expand less than the PP-R material when heated, which prevents the material they are bonded to from expanding. Because the faser-composite layer does not expand, the outside and inside layers cant either, reducing the overall expansion and contraction of the pipe by 75% when compared to non-faser plastic pipes. The faser-composite layer uses a low concentration of glass fibers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsXQ9 S6pEAE&feature=related, so the fusion properties of the pipe remain the same. There is also no issue with recycling

Calculation of linear expansion
The coefficient () of linear expansion of Aquatherm fasercomposite pipes is comparable to the linear expansion of metal pipes and is only: faser-composite = 0.035 mm/mK = 2.367 10-4 in/ftF The coefficient of linear expansion of Aquatherm piping systems without the fiber-composite layer is comparable to other plastic pipes: non-faser= 0.150 mm/mK = 1.00810-3 in/ftF While Aquatherm faser-composite pipes can absorb most of their own expansion stresses, this can cause the pipe to bow or bend. For long, straight runs of hot applications, expansion controls need to be installed every 120 feet. The expansion control will absorb the stress of all the expansion between the control and the last fixed point. Non-faser pipes used for hot applications should have expansion controls at every 30 feet for straight runs. Risers of faser-composite pipes may be installed rigidly without expansion compensation. The risers will need to be anchored at each floor. It is recommended to anchor near any branch lines to minimize vertical movement. The following formula, calculation examples, data tables and diagrams help to determine the linear expansion. The difference between working temperature and maximum or minimum installation temperature is essential for the calculation of linear expansion.

Linear expansion from the temperature difference between operating temperature and installation temperature can be addressed with the controls shown here.
Expansion loop
If the linear expansion cannot be compensated for by a change in direction, it may be necessary to install an expansion loop. In addition to the length of the bending side LBS, the width of the pipe bend Amin must be considered. Symbol Amin SD Safety distance Meaning Width of the expansion loop (in)

Bending side
In most cases, directional changes can be used to compensate for linear expansion in pipes. The values of the bending side can be determined using the following tables and diagrams.

Pre-expansion
In applications where the system will be continuously running hot, the installer can fill the pipes and begin operation to expand the system before tightening down the clamps. This eliminates concerns about fixed and sliding points. If the system is turned off and the pipes contract, the fittings will not pull apart.
Vertical installation:
Due to the different linear expansion coefficients of the faser and non-faser pipes, the installation of pipe branches in risers has to be made according to the selected type of pipe.
Pre-stress
Where space is limited, it is possible to shorten the total width Amin as well as the length of the bending side LBSV by pre-stressing the pipe. Pre-stressing the pipe during installation can help reduce the length of the bending side. It can also be used to make the operating system look visually square by using L in the equation rather than L2. When shortening the length of the bending side, the new value is defined as: Symbol LBSV Meaning Length of pre-stress (in)
The bending side length of expansion loops with pre-stress is calculated according to the following equation:
As noted previously, the value of K is a material constant (2.98), d is the pipe outside diameter in mm, and L is the previously calculated thermal expansion.

Fusion outlets
For installations with branch lines, fusion outlets offer many advantages over traditional reducing tees. Fusion outlets are installed directly onto the side of the pipe and can be added after the main lines are already in place. Fusion outlets also generate less friction than a reducing tee, lowering the pressure loss of the entire system. Fusion outlets are installed by drilling out a properly sized hole and then fusing the fitting in place using socket fusion tools (see chapter 5). The drilling bores offered by Aquatherm will produce properly sized holes, but the bits larger than 2 require a drill press to operate. Bores produced by other companies must be at least 1 mm smaller than the intended branch, and no more than 3 mm smaller. The table below can help determine if a fusion outlet is available for a particular branch size. The table to the right helps determine if a threaded outlet is available for a particular branch size.

Aquatherm distribution blocks
Aquatherm distribution blocks are designed to help save time and space for parallel hot and cold water lines. The distribution block allows for hot and cold lines to run through the block with outlets for branches. This eliminates the need to use a cross-over or bridge and keeps the installation simple, square, and clean. The stamped numbers 1 and 2 indicate the proper connection of the Aquatherm distribution block and provide assistance with the installation. Branches with the same number are connected by channels inside the distribution block. The natural insulation value of the PP-R block helps prevent heat exchange between the hot and cold lines. For a heating or cooling connection, the return is connected to the channel marked 1 and the supply to the channel marked 2 (fig. A). The connections can also be used in reverse (fig. B). For a potable water connection, channel 1 is intended for the cold water pipe and channel 2 for the hot water pipe connection. In factory condition, the lower outlets are closed. A return connection with channel 2 can be made by drilling out the opening with a outlet drill bit, allowing an additional pipe to be connected (fig. C). The block can be reversed to match up with existing or planned fixture units. The order of the hot and cold or supply and return lines does not matter as long as the number remains consistent (fig. D). The distribution blocks are designed for use with and Aquatherm pipes and can be used with aquatherm greenpipe, climatherm, and aquatherm lilac. If smaller sizes of piping are needed, bushings can be fused directly into the distribution block.

Aquatherm Distribution Blocks
With careful planning, the distribution blocks can be turned, drilled out, connected, reduced, and even capped off to accommodate a wide variety of fixtures and layouts in limited spaces (fig. A). Each block has two sets of connections and two sets of connections, allowing the blocks to have up to three branches from a single supply. Effective use of the distribution block can help improve overall design efficiency and simplify installation. The distribution block comes from the factory with the inlets and outlets sealed. Leaving the outlets sealed can act as a cap for a particular line (fig. B). The outlets can also be reduced and used to directly supply the last fixture unit in the line.

Flushing the pipes
All piping systems, regardless of their intended medium, should be flushed thoroughly after installation. The following concerns should be addressed before the installation can be put into service:
Freeze protection
Aquatherm piping systems can be installed in applications and conditions where freezing may occur. Generally, freezing the pipes and the water in them will not cause problems for the piping materials. However, freezing may cause problems for the user if the system is required to be operational during these freezing periods. To avoid this, anti-freeze (glycerin or glycol are safe at any concentration) or heating cables applied externally or inside the pipe may be used to ensure that the system does not freeze. Alternatively, providing a means for a minimum constant flow even during a power outage will prevent freezing. Regardless of the method chosen, all products must be used in accordance with the freeze protection system manufacturers recommendations, the product listings, and in compliance with all applicable local codes. When using any type of external heat source applied to the piping such as heat tape or heating cables, the product must be suitable for use with plastic piping. Additionally, the heat system must be self-regulating and ensure the surface temperature of the Aquatherm pipe and fittings will not exceed 160 F (71 C).
protection of the water quality avoidance of corrosion damage avoidance of malfunctions of pumps and equipment cleanliness of the inner surface of the pipe
flushing the system with water flushing the system with a mixture of air and water
The flushing medium may be determined by local codes, engineering specifications, or the needs of the mechanical equipment used. Where no requirements are established, potable water is sufficient for flushing Aquatherm piping materials.
Grounding
Most building codes require that grounding be provided for all conductive components inside the structure. It is important to note that Aquatherm pipes do not carry electrical currents and cannot be used to provide grounding. Where metal pipes are replaced by PP-R pipes, the ground cannot be created by the piping system. An alternative ground system must be installed. The grounding system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Outdoor installation
In applications where the installed pipe will be exposed to UV radiation (such as outdoor applications), it is recommended that Aquatherm UV pipe be used. This pipe is engineered with an outer coating of black polyethylene that protects the pipe from the aging and discoloration that can occur from prolonged exposure to UV radiation. See pages 6.5 - 6.6. Aquatherm pipes come from the factory packed in UVresistant bags, which protect the pipes until they are removed. All Aquatherm pipes and fittings have UV stabilizers to bridge transport and installation times. Maximum recommended storage time exposed to UV radiation is 6 months. This coating must be removed at the points of connection prior to heat fusion. Instructions can be found on page 5.4.
4.16
InstallatIon PrIncIPles
Pressure test
While still accessible, all pipelines must be pressure tested using water, air, or a mix of the two. The test pressure must be 1.5 times the operating pressure. When performing the pressure test, the material properties of Aquatherm pipes can lead to an expansion of the pipe. This influences the test results. The coefficient of thermal expansion of Aquatherm pipes can also further influence of the test results. Different temperatures of the pipe and the test medium lead to alterations of pressure. A temperature change of 18 F corresponds to a pressure difference of 7.25 to 14.5 psi (0.5 to 1 bar). Therefore the highest possible constant temperature of the test medium must be measured during the pressure test. If possible, allow for the temperature between the pipes and the test medium to reach equilibrium before reading the meter. The pressure test requires a preliminary, principal, and final test. For the preliminary test, pressurize the system to 150% of the maximum operating pressure (MOP). Expansion of the pipe and changes in temperature may cause the system to drop below 150% during this test. If necessary, the tester may add pressure until the system stabilizes at 150%. Once the system is stable, begin timing 30 minutes. The system must not lose more than 9 psi (0.6 bar) in that time. If any leakage appears, stop the test and repair the leaks before proceeding. Immediately after successfully completing the preliminary test, begin the primary test. For the primary test, monitor the system for 2 hours, making sure that it does not lose more than 3 psi (0.2 bar) in that time. Following a successful completion of the primary test, bring the pressure down to 0. Then repressurize the system to 150% of the MOP. After 2 minutes, bring the system down to 15% of the MOP. After 2 more minutes, bring the system back to 0 and repeat this process 3 more times, with a final interval of 5 minutes. This rapid cycling of the pressure will ensure that all the fused connections were properly installed. NOTE: The times for the preliminary and primary tests are based on large installations, where small leaks may take longer to manifest as a pressure loss. For smaller installations such as single family homes, the times may be reduced up to 50% if no loss of pressure is detected in that time. The times on the final test do not change in any circumstances.
Test record
A record of the pressure test must be prepared and signed by the client and contractor stating place, contractor installer number (found on the training certificate), and date (see page 4.20 or Appendix D). A system can be tested in phases provided that every heat-fused connection is eventually tested and that the tests are properly documented upon completion. This test is designed to identify damaged pipe, manufacturers defects, and poor workmanship. It is required by the manufacturer for the validation of the Aquatherm warranty*. This does not supersede or replace regulations placed by the local code authority having jurisdiction. To prevent back-dating, Aquatherm requires that this test be submitted before the system begins full operation. Test should be faxed to Aquatherm at:
801-847-6554
Tests may also be e-mailed to: technical@aquatherm.com *Aquatherms warranty does not cover failures caused by improper installation, operation outside of the recommended parameters, or damage from mishandling after the pipe has left possession of the manufacturer.

Preliminary & Principal Test:
1. Bring pressure in system up to 150% of the maximum operating pressure. 2. Wait 10 minutes then read pressure. If there has been any decrease due to expansion of the piping, raise pressure back to 150% of the maximum operating pressure. 3. Repeat step 2 if there was a previous loss of pressure. Continue until the system has stabilized. 4. Wait 30 minutes then read pressure. Pressure must not drop more than 9 psi (0.6 bar) below 150% of the maximum operating pressure. 5. Wait 120 minutes (2 hours) then read pressure. Pressure must not drop more than 3 psi (0.2 bar) from previous reading in step 4. 6. If the system has met the requirements of steps 4 and 5, continue to the final test. 7. If the system pressure cannot be stabilized or fails to meet the requirements of steps 4 and 5, inspect the system for leaks. Make any necessary repairs and begin test again.

3. Before plugging in the iron, place the welding heads on the welding iron so that there will be full surface contact between the welding head and the heating plate. Welding heads over 1 (40 mm) must always be fitted to the rear position of the heating plate. Outlet welding heads should always be fitted in the rear position unless there is not enough available space around the connection. 4. Tighten the welding heads until they are almost touching the heating plate. Do not finish tightening the welding heads until the heating plate is hot. Tightening the heads completely before the iron is hot will leave impressions on the heating plate and reduce its performance over time. 5. Plug in the welding tool. Depending on the ambient temperature, it will take 10 - 30 minutes to heat up the heating plate. The tool gives a signal when it is plugged in, and gives another signal when it reaches its target temperature.
Right
Electrical supply:
Make sure that the electrical supply used is fully compatible with the welding iron being used. Improper use of any electrical device can cause harm to both the tool and the operator. Make sure any extension cords used are compatible with the power input of the welding tools. Note that fluctuations in the power supply can cause the tool to go through longer heating cycles.

Safety precautions
By using a non-hazardous material and an emissionfree joining process, Aquatherm has eliminated many of the hazards of installing a piping system. However, there will always be a certain level of risk involved in pipe installation, so it is imperative to always follow the appropriate safety precautions. The irons are the primary concern. The surface temperature of the welding iron and heads will normally be between 450 F (240 C) and 500 F (260 C) during operation and may remain at these temperatures for as long 30 minutes after being unplugged. When working with the welding irons, always wear the appropriate hand and arm protection to avoid the risk of burns. Protective eyewear is also recommended. During operation, always be aware of the location of the iron. Do not leave the iron hanging loosely or allow it to brush up against flammable materials. Make sure to keep the iron clear of other people. Always post a sign to inform those working nearby that the iron is hot and could pose a safety risk to them. Do not leave the iron unattended while it is plugged in. After unplugging the iron, protect it with a heatresistant covering or place the iron back in its container. Do not allow the cord to contact the welding surfaces.
Important: If the pipe or the air around it is below 40 F (5 C), heating times are increased by 50%. Remember to take greater care with the pipe as it can become brittle in cold temperatures. Using power cutters on cold pipe can cause cracking and is not recommended. Use standard ratchet or wheel cutters instead. Never preheat the pipe beyond 100 F (38 C).
5.2
Heat Fusion
Welding tools: Handling
8. Changing welding heads on a heated iron requires the installer to check the temperature on the new head once it heats up. 9. If the tool has been unplugged (e.g. during longer breaks), the heating process must be restarted (see item 5). 10. After use, unplug the welding tool and let it cool down. Never use water to cool the welding device, as this will destroy the temper of the metal. Always keep the welding heads dry. 11. Protect Aquatherm welding tools and heads against impurities. Residue from previous fusions may lead to an incorrect connection. After cooling, the heads can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth. 12. For a proper fusion, damaged or scratched welding heads must be replaced, as only undamaged heads guarantee a perfect connection. 13. Never attempt to open or repair a defective tool. Return the defective iron to the supplier for repair. 14. Check the operating temperature of the Aquatherm welding irons regularly by means of a suitable measuring device. Always ensure that cutters are sharp. Cutting pipes with dull or damaged ratchet cutters can cause the pipe to crack. Only use the cutters to cut fusiolen PP-R material. It is also acceptable to use power saws with plasticappropriate blades. Take care that the pipe surface is free from burrs or cutting debris and remove where necessary. 4. Mark the welding depth at the end of the pipe with a pencil using the Aquatherm marking guide. 5. Mark the desired position of the fitting on the pipe and/or fitting. The markings on the fitting and the uninterrupted line on the pipe may be used as a guide over short distances.
16. Remember to use gloves when handling the iron while it is plugged in and for at least 30 minutes after unplugging it. Avoid leaving the iron exposed and unguarded, as passers-by might accidentally injure themselves. Always post a sign to inform those working nearby that the iron is hot and could pose a safety risk to them.

Socket fusion: Preparation
6. If UV pipe is used, completely peel off the exterior layer first (see picture). a. Only use peeling tools with undamaged peeling blades. Blunt peeling blades must be replaced. It will be necessary to make trial peelings to ensure the correct setting of the new blade. It should not be easier than usual to push the peeled UV pipe into the welding tool. Push the end of the pipe into the guide of the peeling tool. Peel off the outer layer up to the stop of the peeling tool. It is not necessary to mark the welding depth as the stop of the peeling tool indicates the correct welding depth. Before starting the fusion, check to ensure the exterior layer has been completely removed. Outer layer may also be removed using a utility knife.

9. The joint will remain flexible during the specified welding time. Use this time to correct the connection and adjust it to the proper angle. The correction is only restricted to the alignment of pipe and fitting. Never turn the elements or align the connection after the welding time.
ATTENTION: Mark the alignment of the pipe and fittings before heating. Do not push the pipe too far into the fitting, as this can reduce the internal diameter and, in an extreme case, close off the pipe.
10. After the cooling period, the fused joint is ready for use. As the connection cools, the PP-R from the pipe bonds perfectly to the fitting, turning them into one piece. Within minutes, the connection is ready for full system pressure.

1. Prepare tools following the directions outlined in Welding tools. 2. Drill through the pipe wall at the intended outlet point by using the Aquatherm drill bit. 3. The welding heads must have reached the required operating temperature of 500 F (260 C). 4. The welding surfaces must be clean and dry. 5. Insert the heating tool on the concave side of the fusion outlet head into the hole drilled in the pipe wall until the tool is completely in contact with the outer wall of the pipe. Then insert the fusion outlet fitting into the welding head until the saddle surface rests against the convex side of the welding tool. (Note: Do not use the fitting to push the iron onto the pipe. Doing so will overheat the fitting and cause a restriction in the connection.) 6. Heat the pipe and fitting. Refer to Socket fusion welding times on page 5.5, as the heating time can vary for different sizes of pipe and the ambient temperature. The connection is ready to be fused when the welding head has made a full impression on the side of the pipe and the outlet fitting has formed a bead around its edges. 7. After the welding tool has been removed, immediately insert the fusion outlet into the heated, pre-drilled hole. The fusion outlet should be held against the pipe for about 15 seconds. After being allowed to cool for 10 minutes the connection can be exposed to its full loading pressure. The appropriate branch pipe can be connected to the fusion outlet using standard socket fusion. By joining the fusion outlet with the pipes outer surface and the pipes inner wall, the connection reaches its maximum strength.
Heating up the pipe and fitting. The welding tool is inserted into the pipe wall.

Repairs: Repair tool
There are several ways to repair Aquatherm piping systems. For small holes such as those produced by screws or nails, use the Aquatherm repair tool. The necessary welding tool and repair pin are listed on page 6.40. The installation information is enclosed with the welding tool but may also be ordered separately. The Aquatherm repair pin can be used to patch small holes and penetrations in the pipe wall. This system is especially useful for holes less than 3/ in diameter. 8 1. Assemble the repair tool, following the directions given in Welding tools. 2. Clear the hole of any obstructions. This includes the penetrating object, any materials used to temporarily patch the hole, and any water from the pipe itself. Make sure that the water from the pipe is not in direct contact with the area being repaired. 3. The repair pin comes in two sizes: (7mm) and 7/ 16 (11mm). Using a bit that is slightly smaller than the repair tool (3/ for the pin, 3/8 for the 7/16 pin), drill 16 out the hole to an appropriate diameter for the repair. Remove any burrs or excess material. 4. Based on the wall thickness of the pipe, mark the repair pin for the appropriate depth. Inserting the repair pin too far into the pipe can cause an obstruction. 5. Once the repair tool has reached the proper welding temperature, insert the repair head into the pre-drilled hole on the pipe. Insert the repair pin into the repair tool. Heat both the hole and the pin for 5 seconds. 6. Remove the pin from the repair tool and the repair head from the hole. Insert the repair pin into the hole and hold it in place for 15 seconds.
7. Cut away the unused portion of the repair pin. Wait at least two minutes before turning the system back on.

Aquatherm welding machines: Bench welding machine
Instructions 1. Check the welding machine. The temperature lamp blinks after reaching the appropriate welding temperature (500 F). 2. Align the clamping jaws. 3. Lock the fitting into the clamping jaws. 4. Place the pipe loosely in the other clamping jaws. Set the welding depth with the adjusting knob.
The Aquatherm welding machine is intended for stationary assembly of 1 to 4 pipe using socket connections. The machine works best on a bench for pre-fabrication and is a valuable part of any shop or assembly station. The welding machine helps create precise, accurate connections quickly and consistently. The Aquatherm bench welding machine comes with a wooden case, a machine slide with metal body, clamping jaws (1 4), welding heads (1 4), 2 heating plates, and pipe support with rollers.
5. Push in the calibration knob and turn the crank as far as it will go. This will slide the pipe to the proper depth. 6. Once the pipe is against the fitting, secure it with the clamping jaws. Then turn the crank back and pull out the calibration knob. 7. Follow the welding time according to the socket fusion welding times table. Lower the welding iron into place and push the fitting and pipe slowly as far as they will go onto the heads. 8. The heating time starts when pipe and fitting are completely pushed onto the heads. When the heating time is complete, return the slide, raise the welding iron, and quickly join the pipe and fitting. More detailed information is available in the operating manuals enclosed with the units.

Aquatherm welding machines: Portable welding machine
The Aquatherm portable welding machine is designed to be used on the job site and can be clamped onto available surfaces. The portable machine can also be used in a shop. The Aquatherm portable welding machine comes with a built-in heating plate, a machine slide with light metal body, clamping jaws (1 4), and a mounting clamp. 1. Before plugging in the portable welding machine, make sure that it is securely clamped to a stable surface. The surface will need to support the weight of the machine as well as the pipe and fitting. The clamp needs to be tight enough so that the machine cannot slide or wobble during operation. 2. Check the welding machine. The temperature lamp blinks after reaching the appropriate welding temperature (500 F). Align the clamping jaws. Set the welding depth with the adjusting knob. 3. Lock the fitting into the clamping jaws. 4. Place the pipe loosely in the other clamping jaws. 5. Push in the calibration knob and turn the crank as far as it will go. This will slide the pipe to the proper depth. 6. Once the pipe is against the fitting, secure it with the clamping jaws. Then turn the crank back and pull out the calibration knob.

Electrofusion: Tool
4. Peel the surface of both pipes up to the marks with a peeling tool. Use the peeling tool that matches the pipe diameter being fused.
The Aquatherm electrofusion tool was specially developed for electrofusion sockets from (20 mm) - 6 (160 mm). General inspection Besides proper workmanship, cleanliness is the most important condition for a proper fusion. To help keep the sockets clean, do not unwrap them until you are ready to install them. The pipe surface must also be clean and undamaged. Rougher deformed pipe ends must be cut off. All parts of the system being fused must have the same temperature within the range of 41 F to 104 F (5 C to 40 C). Note that sun radiation or uncontrolled storage may cause differences in temperature. 5. Clean the pipe again thoroughly, removing any burrs and smoothing the surface of the pipe.

7. Push the Aquatherm electrofusion sockets onto the end of the pipe up to the marked depth. Use pressing clamps if necessary.
8. Push the other prepared pipe end into the Aquatherm electrofusion socket. Tighten the clamps (if using any).
14. Do not move or stress pipe and fitting during the fusion process and cooling time. The fused pipe joint must not be moved (no release of the clamps) or stressed before complete cooling. The minimum required cooling time is marked on each Aquatherm electrofusion socket. Ambient temperatures of more than 77 F (25 C) or connections in direct sunlight need longer cooling times. The Aquatherm electrofusion sockets are rated up to 300 psi. 9. Make sure the pipes are free from bending or the stress of their own weight within the Aquatherm electrofusion socket. The socket should be movable at both pipe ends after assembling. The air gap must be even around the circumference. A stressed or displaced connection can cause an unacceptable melt flow and a defective connection while joining. The pipe ends and electrofusion socket must be dry during installation.

Electrofusion: Repairs
For pipe repairs using an Aquatherm electrofusion socket, cut a section of pipe equal to 3 or 4 lengths of a fitting out of the defective pipe on either side of the defect. Fit the new pipe into this gap. Prepare the ends of the existing pipe, including marking the welding depth of the electrofusion fitting. Peel the new piece of pipe on both sides to the proper depth. Unwrap two fittings and carefully move the fittings over both ends of the repair pipe. Place the repair pipe into the gap and move the fittings until they are aligned with the markings on the existing pipes. Complete the fusions as previously directed.

6. Make sure the pipes are aligned and properly supported. 7. Calculate drag pressure. Drag pressure is the minimum force needed to close the machine. Add drag pressure to all other pressures, as if it were 0 on the gauge. 8. Calculate adjustment/fusion pressure. This varies from machine to machine based on its mechanical advantage. Adjustment pressure can be calculated from the operators manual of the machine. This catalog also contains some pressures for reference. 9. Set the adjustment pressure.
10. Use the facing machine for planing the pipe end to make sure the welding surfaces are smooth and flat. 11. Remove the debris and clean the pipe ends with rubbing alcohol if necessary.
Inspect the welding machine and heating iron.
12. Check that the pipe walls match. Do not butt weld SDR 11 pipe and fittings to SDR 7.4 pipe and fittings. Use flanges to transition. 13. Use the machine to push the ends of the pipe against each other. Check for gaps. There cannot be any visible gaps.
4. Check that the welding machine works properly. Turn on the heating plate and verify that it heats up. The plate should reach a temperature of approximately 400 F (200 C). Verify with an infrared temperature gun. 5. Cut the pipes as squarely and smoothly as possible to the required length. Ensure that there are no cracks in the pipe.
14. Check the temperature of the heating element. It should be between 390 and 430 F (200 C - 220 C).

15. After the heating element has been positioned, push the pipes onto the heating plate with a specified pressure.
18. When heating time is complete, slide the pipe ends apart, remove the heating element quickly, and join the pipes by pushing both sides together.
Heating-up the pipe ends.
16. Standard procedure: After reaching the specified bead height (see table), reduce the pressure to 10% or less of the adjustment pressure (plus drag). This process marks the beginning of the heating time. This time allows the pipe ends to reach the proper welding temperature. 17. Shift procedure: When using a manifold block controller, rather than leaving positive pressure on the gauge, lock the carriage in place with the pipe against the iron. This will prevent the machine from overmelting the pipe during this process. Begin the heating time and continue fusion as normal.
19. Fuse the pipes using the full welding pressure and allow them to cool while still under pressure. The welding pressure is the same as the adjustment/fusion pressure. 20. The welded connection can now be un-clamped. These instructions are given as general guidelines. Specifications can vary by machine. Follow variations given in the operating manual of the welding machine. The welding machines must be suitable for planing and fusing pipes with a wall thickness of SDR 7.4. Check with tool manufacturer to ensure that the machine is compatible with Aquatherm products. Specifically, Aquatherm pipes use metric clamps. For hydraulically operated welding machines, the real pressure must be calculated in consideration of the hydraulic piston area. This value can be taken from the machines operating manual.

Butt welding: Fusion times
The following table gives the times for the heating phase, welding phase, and cooling phase of a butt fusion. The heating, welding, and cooling times are based on the size and SDR of the pipe. These values do not change from one welding machine to the next. However, each machine will have a different gauge pressure for adjustment and welding, based on the mechanical advantage of that machine. That value should be calculated using the machines operator manual. The next page includes that value from some of the commonly available machines for quick reference. Dimension ND in (OD mm)

Glossary
Aquatherm Greenpipe A polypropylene pressure piping system designed for potable and food-grade applications. It is identified by its green color and joined using heat fusion. Hot water pipes have a faser-composite layer as well as dark green stripes, while cold water pipes have light blue stripes and no faser-composite layer. Butt welding A heat fusion connection where the face of one pipe is fused directly to the face of another pipe. Fittings are sized to be even with the pipe walls and are joined the same way. This process is only used on sizes above 4 inches. Climatherm A polypropylene pressure piping system designed for nonpotable applications such as heating and cooling, chemical transport, compressed air, etc. Climatherm is blue, has a faser-composite layer and thick green stripes, and is also joined using heat fusion. Extrusion The process by which Aquatherms pipes are manufactured. The Fusiolen material is shaped and pushed from the extrusion machine in three layers and cooled in long tanks, forming the uniquely designed Aquatherm pipes. Faser-composite A patented mixture of Fusiolen PP-R and fiberglass, specially engineered to increase structural strength and reduce linear expansion. Fusiolen PP-R The basic material used in all of Aquatherms polypropylene piping systems. This resin is produced exclusively by Aquatherm using only the purest raw polypropylene. Fusion outlet A special fitting designed to fuse directly onto the side of a pipe. These fittings were once called saddles but have been renamed to distinguish them from less reliable mechanical fittings. Heat fusion The process of simultaneously heating two similar plastics and allowing them to cool together under pressure. This Teflon-coated molds designed to match specific sizes of pipe and fittings. The welding heads are engineered for direct contact with the pipe and fittings and generally contain A flange connection using a polypropylene flange, a steel flange ring, and a gasket that can be attached to a samesize flange of any other piping material. The process through which Aquatherms fittings are manufactured. Heated Fusiolen is pressed into molds and cooled under high pressure, creating strong fittings with no mechanical weaknesses. Polypropylene random (PP-R) A unique formulation of the thermoplastic polymer used to create all the Aquatherm pipe and fittings. Random lengths of polypropylene molecules ensure chemical uniformity throughout the connection. Socket fusion A heat fusion connection using welding heads and special fittings. The inside of the fitting is fused to the outside of the pipe, forming a quick and simple leak-proof connection. This process is only used on sizes from 4 inches and smaller. Transition, flange process forms a seamless bond between the materials. This process is also called heat welding. Lilac A special formulation of the Aquatherm piping systems engineered for use in rainwater and reclaimed water. This system is distinguished by the purple color of the pipe. Linear (thermal) expansion The growth in a pipe that occurs when hot water is run through the system. Contraction can also occur under cold temperatures. Mold injection
Transition, threaded A special fitting with a brass or stainless steel insert mold injected into the polypropylene. The insert is threaded for use with any other type of threaded connection. Welding heads
Glossary
one male side and one female side in order to heat both sides of a connection at the same time. Welding iron An electronic heating device with a large, flat heating surface. This surface is designed to heat the welding heads to the proper welding temperature and should never be in direct contact with the material being welded. Welding jig A portable clamping system that assists with moving the pipe and fitting during the fusion process.
