Features
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.
The Greenpipe advantage

Leak-free connections Resistant against hard water & aggressive chemicals Environmentally friendly material Reduced insulation requirements Increased flow rate Potable and food rated Fast and easy assembly Flame, smoke, and fume-free installation Reduced noise from water hammer and vibration
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.
The Climatherm advantage

Resistant to most chemicals Increased flow rate Fast, welded connections Light, impact-resistant material Corrosion-free pipe and fittings Natural sound and heat insulation Long lasting Fully recyclable High-heat stabilized

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.
Irrigation Flushing
Cleaning, Laundry
Standard dimension ratio

Aquatherms pipes are manufactured using a standard dimension ratio (SDR), meaning that the wall thickness is a ratio of the total diameter. This is different from schedules, which are commonly used in North America, but is typical of fusible plastics. Each SDR provides its own advantages. The SDR is one of the major factors used in engineering an Aquatherm piping system for a specific application.

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.
Raw fusiolen PP-R granules.
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.
Superior fusion properties

Fusiolen PP-R is engineered to have an ideal melt index for socket fusion and butt welding, resulting in connections that are strong and homogeneous. The material does not burn or change during fusion, so the actual point of fusion is chemically indistinguishable from the rest. This prevents weaknesses and cracking in the joints.
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!
The quality of Aquatherms Fusiolen PP-R is recognized around the world.
1.6
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.
Reduced pumping energy

One of the most overlooked issues in energy efficient buildings is the energy used by the piping system. While some energy is lost from heat transfer, a great deal more is lost from the pumping energy used to move water around. Aquatherms pipes have a low friction factor, reducing the energy lost during transit. Even more importantly, Aquatherm pipes do not corrode, meaning that the energy savings increases over time when compared to a system made from ferrous metals.
Extended service life

Aquatherm pipes will last for over 60 years within the design parameters given in this catalog. This eliminates the environmental impact of repairs, mold, leaks, and other problems that can be caused by piping failure. By using components that last longer, buildings can be made more sustainable.
No BPAs, dioxins, or VOCs

Unlike many other plastics, Aquatherms PP-R material is completely non-toxic. If does not contain any BPA or dioxins that could leach into drinking water and there are no VOCs released during the joining process. This helps improve the on-site air quality during installation and the water quality after.
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.
aquatherm and LEED credits

Aquatherm pipe have been used on many LEED certified projects. Although there are no direct LEED credits for using a particular piping material, there are several points which the right piping system can address. Please refer to the Aquatherm LEED Planning Guide on our website at www.aquatherm.com/technical-documents for further details. Information regarding LEED projects that have used Aquatherm pipes can be found in the Case Studies section.
Fully recyclable pipe and fittings

Aquatherms pipe and fittings are made from over 97% PP-R, a material that is easily processed and recycled into a variety of other goods. The heat-fused connections dont damage or alter the PP-R, so there are no problems with recycling an entire system.
1.7
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.
Incidental freezing tolerance

Due to their natural insulation value, Aquatherm pipes are resistant to freezing if left exposed. And because of the strong but flexible nature of the PP-R and heat fusion connections, Aquatherm pipes can freeze solid with water in them without breaking. (Note: Aquatherm pipes can withstand isolated instances of freezing. They are not designed to be repeatedly frozen and thawed.)
Nominal imperial sizing

All Aquatherm piping systems are manufactured based on metric units of measurement. In order to make the systems more intuitive to the North American market, Aquatherm has converted each of its standard pipe sizes into an imperial nominal diameter based on comparable size and flow rate. The following table gives a standard nominal diameter for each metric size of pipe. Use the flow rate tables given in chapter 3 to verify proper selection for an application based on SDR and flow rate.
Heat fusion connections

The connections in an Aquatherm piping system are made using heat fusion, a simple process which actually turns the pipe and fitting into a single piece of PP-R. There are never any solders, solvents, or glues added to the connection, eliminating traditional weak points and harmful chemicals from the system.

Application-specific engineering
Aquatherms pipe systems are engineered for optimal performance based on the application type. aquatherm greenpipe is rated for potability, and comes with fasercomposite and non-faser variations to optimize efficiency and economics. climatherm is high-heat stabilized to have a higher safety factor while maintaining higher flow rates. lilac is designed without faser-composite, providing the highest value for a greywater installation. Each of these systems has distinct colors and stripes for easy identification.

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.
Full system range

Aquatherm piping systems can be used in nearly any pressure application and range in size from to 24. This allows installers to use one type of pipe for an entire system rather than mixing multiple materials and joining methods. An entire project can be done using Aquatherm pipes, eliminating the need for multiple toolsets and maintenance programs. Transitions to ANSI flanges, NPT threads, PEX piping, and copper tube make combining Aquatherm pipe with other systems and components simple and easy.
Natural thermal insulation

PP-R has a natural resistance to heat transfer, making it a much better piping choice than traditional metals. Uninsulated sections of the pipe lose or gain very little energy and are resistant to condensation in normal conditions. In places where insulation is required, less can be used to save both space and materials. More specific information is available in chapter 3.
1.8
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.
Potable water rating

Aquatherm piping systems meet the requirements of NSF Standard 14 and aquatherm greenpipe meets NSF Standard 61, showing that it is safe for direct contact with drinking water. In addition, aquatherm greenpipe has been tested to NSF 51 and is acceptable for direct food contact and food processing applications up to 212 F. The Aquatherm piping systems meet the stringent requirements for strength, material quality, dimension, damage resistance, marking, and quality control of ASTM F2389 and CSA B137.11.
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.
Natural sound insulation

Aquatherms PP-R material absorbs the force from pressure surges and also dampens the noise created by water flow and hydraulic shock. The sound generated and carried by the pipe is much less than that of other piping systems, adding to the comfort of the buildings occupants.
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.
Full system compatibility

Almost every job will require the installer to switch to and from other piping systems and integrate various pieces of mechanical equipment. With a wide range of flange connections and the worlds most advanced PP-R to metal transitions, connecting systems and equipment is quick, easy, and secure. Transitions include flanges, brass and stainless steel threads, brass PEX connections, and PP-R to copper stubs for fixture transitions.
Suitable for air testing

Aquatherms unique properties allow the pipes to be tested using air pressure, which can be a huge time saver to the installer. It also helps prevent water spray in the event that there is a leak during the pressure test. The system can also be tested using water or an air/water mix.
Fast connection times

Aquatherm pipes and fittings are assembled with heat fusion, a fast and simple process that involves heating the materials and sliding them together for a perfect connection every time. Heat fusion can save over 50% on labor time compared to traditional welding and soldering and is comparable to the quickest labor-saving connections.
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.
Rigid hanging pipe

Aquatherms pipes are designed to remain rigid on hangers, giving the pipe a clean, conventional layout with elbows and tees. This allows installers to create a craftsmans appearance in the final product while being able to prefabricate more of the pipe due to its lighter weight (see p. REFER TO PAGE 4.1).
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.
Flexible lengths and connections

Heat fusion connections have the exact same properties as the pipes and fittings, so there is a certain level of flexibility in the assembled pipe that makes it easy to prefabricate and move on-site without the risk of the joints cracking and leaking. This flexibility also allows for a wider range of applications and protects the pipe from seismic stresses.
Simple expansion control

The faser-composite layer reduces linear expansion, reducing or eliminating the need for additional expansion control. The pipe can absorb its own stresses when anchored or buried, and expansion loops can be used for longer runs.
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.
Superior water quality

PP-R is a non-leaching plastic, meaning that it does not transfer chemicals or ions into water. And because Aquatherms pipes and fittings are both made from PP-R, water arrives at the tap with the same quality it had when it left the pump. This eliminates metallic and plastic tastes in the water and allows building owners to install a filtered drinking water line throughout the building.
Improved energy efficiency

One of the most cost-effective ways of making a building more environmentally responsible is to reduce its energy costs, as these improvements can pay for themselves over time. Aquatherms non-corrosive PP-R material can save thousands of dollars in energy costs over the life of the building. And the natural insulation value of the material helps reduce heat loss and heat gain on uninsulated sections of the pipe.
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.

Aquatherm quality control

The production of a quality-controlled pipe system demands supervision, regulation, and control in every step of the process. All results and processes are carefully documented. In its manufacturing process, Aquatherm requires:
External control
External supervision consists of tests with a defined scope in set intervals. The respective supervising institutions appoint authorized test organizations to carry out these tests. The external supervision includes:
testing and acceptance of incoming goods in-process inspection and testing process control at all stages final inspection and testing
external tests of the products internal audit of Aquatherms quality assurance calibration of the test equipment hygiene and toxicity tests
The results of the supervisory visits as well as external tests made on pipe and fitting samples are confirmed to Aquatherm with test certificates. In addition to the extensive quality assurance testing conducted by Aquatherm at its production facilities, independent third-party auditing is carried out by several North American certification agencies including NSF International, IAPMO, and ICC. NSF conducts four unannounced plant inspections each year, verifying that the materials, processes, quality control, and piping system performance are in accordance with national and international consensus standards. NSF is an independent, non-profit, third-party organization that certifies piping products in accordance with national and international quality standards related to public health and safety. system and test procedures
Aquathem complies with all relevant regulations and standards for the quality control of potable water pipe systems established by:
NSF CSA CFIA ASTM ICC IAPMO ISO DIN
These standards and guidelines detail the minimum requirements for internal control. Conformance to these standards is verified by independent institutions in the form of unannounced factory audits, random product sampling, and laboratory testing.
Quality from experience

Decades of experience in the extrusion and injection molding industries have made Aquatherm the market leader and pioneer in manufacturing polypropylene piping systems. This experience is reflected in Aquatherms demanding quality control standards and carefully established procedures. The value of this experience can be seen in the consistent and superior quality of Aquatherms products.
Internal control
Trained, qualified employees and a modern, well-equipped laboratory ensure that all tests are carried out and regulations are complied with in accordance to Aquatherms quality control policy. All internal quality controls are documented and recorded in accordance with the quality control policy. To ensure consistent performance, Aquatherm produces all of the Fusiolen PP-R material used in the production of its piping systems, accepting only the highest quality of raw polypropylene. By manufacturing its own resin for the extrusion process, Aquatherm minimizes the possibility of material failure. All metal inserts used in Aquatherms transition fittings are machined in the Aquatherm Metal facility, where each piece is designed and engineered to meet the exacting quality standards that Aquatherm demands.
2.2
Quality assurance
Test and acceptance of incoming goods
All incoming materials are subject to testing. This ensures that incoming products conform to specified requirements. Materials which have not been tested are not released for production. Materials which fail the testing in any way are rejected and returned to the supplier.
Final inspection and testing

The quality control standards require that inspections be carried out on all finished products and tests performed on samples from every production run. The results are documented in test reports. Finished products are only released to stock when all tests and inspections conform to the prescribed procedures and specifications. The final inspection and tests include time-lapse test procedures. This allows Aquatherm to accurately predict the performance of the products in various fields of application. These tests are used for quality assurance during production and product development. They allow Aquatherm to discover and remove any potential weaknesses. The results document the system quality and optimize the manufacturing process. The final inspection and tests cover the following procedures:
In-process inspection and testing

The quality control standards require that tests and inspections be carried out before and during production. At the start of production all quality-relevant data is checked by the quality assurance department. Preproduction samples are tested by the laboratory technicians for proper surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The data from the extrusion and injection molding machines are cross-checked with the actual pipe dimensions and the materials are released for production only if optimal test results are achieved. These tests are carried out at the start of each production series to ensure perfect quality.
Process control
Ultrasonic measurement and process data recording in the field of extrusion are only two examples of Aquatherms extensive quality control process. This equipment allows for constant observation and control of production.
dimensional control surface finish measurement of the melt flow index impact bending test heat reversion test homogeneity of the material internal pressure test
In addition to the tests mentioned above, daily hygiene tests in accordance with international guidelines are carried out in the companys own sensory analysis laboratory.
Ultrasonic waves automatically measure and report any deviations in tolerance to the cutting device on the extrusion machine so that the sizing controls can automatically isolate a substandard product. This ensures that only perfect quality products are packed and stored. All data received during production is analyzed in detail.
2.3
Quality assurance
Labeling, shipping, and handling

Labeling and packaging
All Aquatherm pipes are labeled every three feet to identify the size and type of pipe and the test standards which they meet. Fittings are sorted according to the designated packing units and are packaged in bags with coded labels to make storage and identification easier. Fittings also have their size and production run stamped onto them so they can be identified after being removed from their packaging.
Care and handling of Aquatherm pipes and fittings

1. Always store the pipe on a flat surface. When storing the pipe on racks, always have at least 3 supports under 13 ft lengths and 4 supports under 19 ft lengths. It is best to place plywood or something similar on top of the supports to avoid any warping or flattening. The pipe has a memory and will bow if stored improperly. 2. Always handle the ends of the pipe carefully. Dropping the pipe, banging it into things, or stepping on it can cause micro-fractures in the end of the pipe. If the pipe is exposed to impact or stress, inspect the pipe for damage. Damaged ends or sections should be marked and removed before installation. Surface scratches that exceed 10% of the wall thickness are considered damaged. 3. When storing the pipe outdoors, try to leave it in the factory-issued protective bag as much as possible. This bag will protect the pipe from dust, scratches, and UV damage. If the pipe is removed from its bag, do not store it uncovered for more than 6 months. Pipe that is exposed to UV radiation for a period longer than 6 months is no longer covered under the warranty. The black-coated UV pipe may be stored outdoors indefinitely. 4. Never place the forks of a forklift into the ends of the pipe. This will damage the pipe and can cause it to crack. Handlers may use a padded rug ram inside the pipe. Otherwise, it is recommended to use a crane or lift to handle larger pipes. 5. In cold weather, take extra care when handling the pipe. Cold temperatures reduce the pipes flexibility, making it more susceptible to impact damage. 6. Keep the fittings in their original bags. Many of the fittings do not have detailed labels printed on them and can get mixed up if they are not stored with their bags. When storing loose fittings in boxes or bins, attach a label from the packing bag to identify the fittings. 7. When shipping the pipe, always load it onto a flat surface or one which is evenly supported. Only strap the pipe at a place where it is supported to prevent bowing. 8. When covering the pipe, always use a light colored tarp such as blue or white. Do not use a black tarp, as this may cause heat damage to the pipe. Pipe may also be covered with a structure that provides shade, like an awning.
Storage, packing, and shipping

After passing all tests and inspections, the products are released for storage and shipping. The pipe and fittings are processed through the Aquatherm warehouse in Attendorn and shipped around the world for use in over 70 countries. In North America, pipe is stored at Aquatherms Logistics Center in Lindon, UT, and distributed through many local and regional wholesalers. Containers of pipe can also be shipped directly on-site for larger projects. Upon receipt of piping shipments, the customer should inspect the pipe to ensure that it has not been damaged during shipping. Damaged pipe should be cataloged and returned for replacement, following all of the ditributors proceedures.
Note: Aquatherm accepts responsibility for damage caused to the pipe and fittings while they are still in Aquatherms possession. Once another party takes possession of the product (i.e., receiving a shipment), Aquatherm can no longer accept responsibility for incidental damages that happen to the pipe and fittings. Parts that were not reported damaged upon receipt will be assumed to have been damaged after leaving Aquatherms possession.

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.
Choosing your system

Aquatherm offers a variety of piping systems that are engineered for use in certain applications. Choosing the correct system for the application will maximize performance and minimize material costs. As a general rule, aquatherm greenpipe should be used for potable and food-grade applications while climatherm is used for heating and cooling, compressed air, and a variety of industrial applications. aquatherm lilac pipe is intended for use in unheated non-potable systems. A more detailed list of suitable applications can be found in Chapter 1.
Addressing additional needs

Aquatherm offers two major variations on its piping systems: the Aquatherm UV and the Aquatherm Advanced. Both are modifications to help the pipe perform in adverse conditions. The Aquatherm UV is a black polyethylene coating added to the exterior of the standard pipe and is used in outdoor installations where the pipe is regularly exposed to sunlight. The Aquatherm Advanced is a layer of fire-rated insulation that provides both fire protection and code-accepted insulation for the Aquatherm pipes. The designer or engineer will need to determine if and where these variations are needed.
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.

Integration with other systems

When integrating Aquatherm piping systems with other systems, make sure that the operating parameters for PP-R wont damage the other materials. Be aware that even if the Aquatherm pipe is compatible with the chemical being transported, other materials in the system may not be. Make sure that all parts of the system are compatible with the medium being carried before installing them. And, while Aquatherm pipe does not require treatment to protect it from corrosion, ferrous metals in the system will. Do not mix Aquatherm pipe with other piping systems in conditions that will cause the other system to fail. When there is extensive use of copper piping in conjunction with PP-R, care should be taken to ensure the operating conditions will not cause dissolution or corrosion of the copper. Aquatherm recommends following the Copper Development Agencys guidelines for sizing, temperature and flow speed in copper pipe. This will also help ensure that the copper levels in the water do not approach the regulatory action levels. Sustained high levels of copper ions in a water system can damage wetted surfaces within the system, even PP-R. Damage caused by unregulated copper ions may void the warranty. Alternatively, you can avoid using large amounts of new copper upstream of the PP-R in hot water recirculation lines. If the copper fails, it may degrade the PP-R as well, shortening its service life. Small amounts of copper from valves and other equipment will generally not cause an issue. For maximum longevity, recirculation lines for domestic hot water should not exceed a flowspeed of 4 ft/s unless the piping is all PP-R. If you are adding PP-R to an existing copper system, the level of copper in the water should be tested. These levels should not exceed 0.5 P.P.M., and are considered actionable by the EPA at 1.3 P.P.M. High levels of free copper indicate that the copper pipe is eroding due to system and/or water conditions..
3.3
Planning
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.
Flame and smoke rated options

For applications where the code requires the pipe to meet an FSI of 25 and SDI of 50, Aquatherm recommends one of the following solutions: Improvements to building codes and addition testing from Aquatherm has allowed the Aquatherm Advanced system to be expanded from the original Reflectix wrap to include any insulation that meets the E-84 and S-102.2 ratings. However, while the Reflectix-based Aquatherm Advanced is tested and listed with the fitting exposed, other insulations require that the Aquatherm pipe be enclosed completely in the insulation.. The wrapped pipe meets a Flame Spread Index of 25 and a Smoke Development Index of 50, making the system safe for use in:
1. Aquatherm Advanced is a listed solution for meeting
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.
2. Encasing the pipe inside of any insulation that meets
return air plenums exposed installation in high-rise buildings non-combustible construction

Fire-rated insulations should be installed using the manufacturers specifications. Information regarding the thermal performance should be obtained from the manufacturer. (Editors note: The language in this column is temporary and intended only for use in the digital version of this manual. It has been inserted between Aquatherms discontinuation of providing the Reflectix-based Aquatherm Advanced and the printing of the 2013 edition. This column will be replaced with permanent language in that edition. If there are any questions or concerns, contact Aquatherms engineering support team.)
3. Avoid using a ceiling return air plenum. Using ducted
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).

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.
Pipe sizing by flow rate

PP-R is a low friction material, making Aquatherm piping systems highly resistant to abrasion and pinhole leaks. As a result, most Aquatherm piping systems are designed to run at 8 ft/s. At this speed, the flow rate (gpm) is determined by the pipe diameter and wall thickness. The following tables give the approximate flow rates based 8 ft/s.

Planning
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.
Pipe sizing by head loss

This section includes charts on the head loss of SDR 7.4 and SDR 11 systems as well as the estimated flow rate based on a flow speed of 8 ft/s. It is important to note the differences between the SDR 7.4 and the SDR 11, as the actual IDs for both vary slightly. Having a flow speed of 8 ft/s can allow for downsizing of the pipe when compared against other piping systems. For example, in an application where a six-inch copper pipe would have been used, a four-inch aquatherm greenpipe may be sufficient. However, this is more common when using SDR 11 pipe because the SDR 11 pipes have a higher water content per foot. The coefficients of loss for the fittings are also included on pages 3.20 - 3.26.
Isolating pump-to-pipe connectors

Due to fusiolen PP-Rs natural ability to absorb vibration, isolators are not required if the pipe has some limited mobility on either side of the pump.
Flow velocity and head (friction) losses in piping

The head loss (friction pressure loss) due to the flow of water through the Aquatherm PP-R piping is given in the following tables. The water velocity is also provided. These values are calculated from the equations below. The Hazen-Williams formula is widely used in water piping applications, but it does not account for differences in fluid viscosity (different fluids) and fluid temperature. Consult your Aquatherm representative for data using other fluids such as chemical process piping or compressed gases. Hazen-Williams formula for pressure loss ( psi / 100 ft of pipe ):
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
Calculation of flow velocity:
Where:
v = flow velocity, ft/sec

Maximum pull force

A major advantage of using PP-R is that the pipes have a very high tensile strength. And because Aquatherm uses heat-fused connections, that tensile strength is consistent through the connections. The result is a system that can be assembled in large sections and moved without the risk of damaging the pipe or the connections. The following tables give the maximum pull force that can be exerted on the pipe before stretching it (and thus weakening it). Vertically, the pull force is based on the weight of the attached pipe and fittings. Horizontally, the friction of the ground must also be considered. Wetting the ground before dragging the pipe can help reduce the friction. Their physical strength makes Aquatherm pipes exceptionally well suited for directional boring. However, it is important to use pull heads that are compatible with metric pipe. When selecting a pull head, use the metric size of the pipe, not the nominal imperial size.

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
On-site prefabrication station

Polypropylene is lighter than most other piping materials, and fusion joints adjust easily to reasonable levels of stress from being carried. To take advantage of this, many installers set up a prefab station on the job site, including a workbench, technical drawings, a welding jig or bench and the appropriate welding tools. This station is used to measure, cut, and prefabricate pipe and fittings for the installation. Use of this station ensures adequate space for tool operation.
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.
4.1
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.
Fixed (anchor) points

Fixed points are used to divide the pipe into sections, restricting any uncontrolled movement of the pipe. Fixed points must be measured and installed to accommodate the forces of expansion in the pipe as well as probable additional loads. When using threaded rods or threaded screws, the drop from the ceiling should be as short as possible. Swinging clamps should not be used as fixed points. Vertical distributions can be installed using only fixed points. Faser-composite risers do not require expansion loops, provided that fixed points are located immediately before or after a branch. Pipe clamp distances of vertically installed pipes can be increased by 20% of the tabular values on the following page, (i.e., multiply the tabular value by 1.2).
Sliding (guide) points

Sliding points must allow axial pipe movement without damaging the pipe. When positioning a sliding point, make sure that movement of the pipe is not blocked by walls, fittings, or mechanical equipment installed next to the clamp or hanger.
Hanger sizing
Use the following table to find the approximate imperial OD for each pipe.
Hangers and clamps

When installing Aquatherm pipes, use only rubber- or feltlined clamps. You may use tape to pad the space between the PP-R and the metal on non-clamping hangers, such as clevis hangers. Metal clamps (even plastic-safe clamps) can damage hot water pipes, and can condensate when used on cold water pipe. When installing chilled water lines in highhumidity areas, use a non-crushable pipe shield. Metal that is in direct contact with the Aquatherm pipe may sweat in certain chilled applications, even if the pipe itself shows no signs of condensation. When securing the pipe in place, it is important to distinguish between fixed points and sliding points. Fixed points are clamped tightly against the pipe and prevent any expansion or movement through that point. Sliding points are clamped loosely or simply hung and do not restrict expansion or movement. The proper application of each is explained in the next two sections.

Increasing hanger spacing

Installers can increase the hanger spacing by running hot water through the pipes before fixing them in place. This reduces the temperature difference between installation and operation. Installers may also use in-line supports to increase the acceptable distance between hangers.

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
4.4
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 for aquatherm greenpipe and climatherm (faser-composite)
Due to the integration and positive bond of the different materials, the aquatherm greenpipe and climatherm fasercomposite pipes offer much higher stability. The linear expansion is reduced to almost 1/5 the value of the standard PP-R pipes.

Expansion controls
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.

SP Sliding point *Includes metric to imperial conversion factor Calculation of the bending side length:

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.
Bellows expansion joint

All corrugated metal bellows expansion joints are unsuitable for use with Aquatherm piping systems. Joints made from elastomeric materials are acceptable. When using axial expansion joints, observe the manufacturers instructions.
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)
with faser-composite pipe

The linear expansion of Aquatherm faser-composite pipes in vertical risers can be ignored. The positioning of a fixed point directly before each branch is sufficient to keep the branch line from shifting under expansion. In general, it is possible to install risers rigidly without expansion joints. This directs the expansion on the distance between the fixed points, where it becomes negligible. It is important to maintain 10 feet of space between two fixed points, and mid-story guides may be necessary for sizes 2 and below.
The bending side length of expansion loops with pre-stress is calculated according to the following equation:
with non-faser pipe

LBSV = K d L2 The installation of risers using Aquatherm pipes without faser-composite requires that branch lines be installed in such a manner as to accommodate linear expansion of the vertical riser. Non-faser pipes in a heated application cannot absorb their own stresses. Adequate expansion controls will need to be added according to the guidelines given earlier in this chapter. This can be done by installing a fixed point directly before or after each branch line, which prevents the line from moving. Using a large pipe sleeve that can accommodate the movement will also work. A swing joint may also be used to absorb vertical stresses.
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.

Distribution block insulation

Because the unique shape of the distribution block makes it difficult to insulate with regular insulation, Aquatherm has developed a special insulation block that is designed to fit perfectly over the distribution block. The insulation for the distribution block is made from high-quality PPO/PS rigid expanded polyurethane. Dimensions of insulation:
Thermal conductivity: 0.28 BTU-in hr F ft2 Length: 7.25 in Width: 4.69 in Height: 2.76 in
The accessories (1 plug, 2 fastening plugs) are integrated in the insulation of an Aquatherm distribution block with insulation tray.
4.15
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
These requirements can be met by:
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.
Transport and storage

Aquatherm pipes may be stored outside at any temperature, but it is preferable to store the pipes inside. Providing a solid, flat, and level base for the pipe is very important to avoid a deformation of the pipes during transport and storage. Improper storage of the pipe can cause bowing. At temperatures below 32 F (0 C), it is possible to damage the pipes through strong impacts. In spite of its high impact resistance, the material must be treated with caution at low temperatures. UV radiation has detrimental effects on all high polymer plastics. Maximum outdoor storage time is 6 months if removed from factory-supplied UV-protected bags.
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
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.
Measuring the test pressures

Measuring must be done with a pressure gauge allowing a perfect reading to 0.5 psi. In a multi-story installation, the pressure test should be conducted at the lowest point in the building that can be easily accessed.
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.

Installation training
Installers need to be trained by Aquatherm in heat fusion techniques in order have their installation covered under warranty. Training is available from local Aquatherm trainers and instructors. Failure to follow proper installation procedures will also invalidate the warranty.
Welding tools: Assembly

1. Use only Aquatherm approved tools and welding irons. They are designed with the proper temperatures and dimensions for working with Aquatherm products. Information on approved tools is available on Aquatherms website or from local Aquatherm instructors and trainers. 2. Both the welding iron and the welding heads must be free of residue, dirt, oils, and other impurities before beginning fusion. Make sure they are clean before assembly. If necessary, clean the welding tools with a non-abrasive cleaning wipe. Use rubbing alcohol or a similar agent. Avoid using corrosive cleaners or cleaners that will leave a hazardous residue.
The assemblies and fusions shown in this chapter are done using the Aquatherm branded tools. Assembly and operation instructions may vary for other approved tools. Follow any additional instructions or variations given by the tools manufacturer.
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.
Welding tools: Heating phase

6. After the iron is hot, tighten the welding heads carefully with the hex wrench. Do not grab the welding heads with pliers or other tools that could damage the coatings. Make sure the welding heads are in complete contact with the heating plate. 7. The temperature of 500 F (260 C) is required for welding with the Aquatherm piping systems. The temperature of the welding head must be checked before starting the welding process. This can be done with a digital thermometer capable of measuring temperatures up to 650 F (340 C).
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.
Socket fusion: Preparation

1. Make sure the Aquatherm welding devices and tools comply with the guidelines in Welding tools. 2. All devices and tools must have reached the necessary operating temperature of 500 F (260 C). This should be checked on the welding head, not the heating plate. This should be verified with a handheld contact or digital thermometer. 3. Cut the pipe at right angles to the pipe axis. Only use Aquatherm cutters or other suitable cutting tools. Inspect the pipe thoroughly for any cracks.
Welding tools: Guidelines

15. Fusion welding of joints in Aquatherm piping systems must be done in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Additional information is available, and should be followed where applicable and not in conflict with these instructions: ASTM D 2657 - Standard practice for heat fusion joining of polyolefin pipe and fittings. ASTM F 1290 - Standard practice for electrofusion joining polyolefin pipe and fittings.
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.
5.3
Heat Fusion
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.
Socket fusion: Heating of pipe and fitting

7. Push the end of the pipe, without turning, up to the marked welding depth into the welding tool. It is essential to observe the required heating times. Heating for too short a time can result in improper bonding. Heating for too long can result in ID restriction. Pipe and fittings with a dimension of 2 inches or larger are difficult to assemble accurately by hand. They can be more easily assembled using the welding jig (5.8), the bench welding machine (page 5.10), or the portable welding machine (5.11). ATTENTION: The heating time starts when pipe and fitting have been pushed to the correct welding depth on the welding tool.

Socket fusion: Setting and alignment

8. After the heating time, quickly remove the pipe and fitting from the welding tools. Join them immediately by inserting the pipe straight into the fitting (without turning) until the marked welding depth is covered by the bead of PP-R from the fitting.
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.

Fusion outlets
The aquatherm greenpipe fusion outlets are available for pipe sizes of 1 - 24 (40 mm - 630 mm) with outlets ranging from - 8 (20 mm - 200 mm). Fusion outlets are used for:
branch connections in existing installations the substitution of a tee branch connections in risers sensor wells and other instruments
Drilling through the pipe wall.
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.

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.
Repairs: Outlet repairs

For holes that are too large to be fixed using the repair tool, a fusion outlet can be used instead. Simply drill out the hole with an Aquatherm drill bit that is slightly larger than the hole itself. Then proceed to weld a matching fusion outlet into the hole, following the original directions. Fuse a short length of pipe into the hole and cap it off. It is recommended to use a length that is long enough to be fused onto again, in the event the outlet is used as a branch or drain in the future. However, if there is no possibility of needing to expand off the repair at a future date, just use a piece long enough to fuse the cap on to.

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.

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.
Electrofusion: Preparing the fitting

6. Open the protective wrapping of the Aquatherm electrofusion socket. Clean the inside of the fitting carefully with Aquatherm cleaning wipes or a coarse, non-abrasive cloth and rubbing alcohol. Assemble the fitting within 30 minutes of removing the protective foil.
Electrofusion: Preparing the pipe

Peeling off the outer layer is essential for a proper connection. Damage of the surface such as axial grooves or scratches is not acceptable in the fusion zone. Avoid touching peeled surfaces and protect them against dirt and grease. Start the fusion process within 30 minutes after peeling. 1. Cut the ends of the pipes squarely and deburr them thoroughly. 2. Clean and dry the ends of the pipes at the necessary length. 3. Mark the depth of electrofusion socket on the end of the pipe. Welding depth for electrofusion Size Depth

10. Position the fitting with even spacing around the circumference. 11. Set fusion equipment to the proper sizing. 12. Compare the settings of the fusion equipment with the parameters of the label for accuracy. 13. Start and monitor the fusion process.
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.

Heat Fusion
Butt welding: 6 - 24 pipe

For joining larger pipe sizes, Aquatherm recommends using butt fusion. Butt fusion is a process that joins the ends of the pipe directly to each other, or to the ends of the fittings. This process is done using a system of hydraulic clamps and a heating plate. Instructions for the process are given below. Training for butt fusion is available through Aquatherms authorized trainers and instructors.
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.
Butt welding: Preparation

1. Protect your workstation from adverse weather conditions. Rain, snow, and mud can damage the machine and cause improper connections. 2. Clean the heating element with rubbing alcohol and a non-abrasive cloth. 3. Plug in the machine and turn it on.
Planing the welding surface.
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.
Positioning the heating iron.
The parts to be welded are fixed.
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.
Open the clamps and remove heating element.
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.

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)

Reducing cooling times

Cooling times for butt welded connections can be reduced by 50% if the joint is properly supported for the remainder of the cooling time. For example, the cooling time for 6 SDR 11 pipe can be reduced from 24 minutes to 12 minutes if the joint is not subjected to any undue stress for the remaining 12 minutes. The following images show proper and improper support for the pipe.
Correct Whether on hangers or blocks, the pipe should be supported on either side of the connection, as well as further down the line.
Correct The pipe can also lay flat on the ground or a similar level surface.
Incorrect Failure to support the pipe near the connection can result in undue stress on the bottom of the joint.
Incorrect Failure to support the pipe further away from the connection can result in undue stress at the top of the joint.
Incorrect Failure to support the pipe on both sides of the connection can cause undue stress across the joint.

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.
