Geberit HDPE jointing methods

Overview
Butt welding
The many Geberit

jointing methods
offer solutions
for all situations.
All diameters from 32 to 315 mm can be welded.

Connection properties
b) not to be opened
c) tension-resistant
Use
Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous benefits of prefabrication; HDPE needs no other component in order to be welded.
Electroweld sleeve
coupling
Butt weld
Ring-seal socket
It can be used in all circumstances where prefabrication is used on site or in the

workshop.
Screw-threaded joint
A simple and reliable connection
The essential conditions for a perfect weld are:

Cleanliness of the welding plate and the parts which are to be welded.
A correct welding plate temperature.
The correct pressure for jointing the parts.
The parts to be welded must be cut square <) 90.
Flange joint
Linear expansion
socket
Contraction sleeve
Coupling for Silent-db20

and adapter only
Butt welding takes up little space. The edge of the weld does not obstruct the
pipe, leaving its internal cross-section virtually unchanged. Even quite complicated distribution parts can be assembled in a small space, without wastage
of material, because lengths of pipe or elbow sections can be easily reused
through butt welding.
Allowance for butt welds
The allowance for butt welds is approx. as big as the wall thickness of the pipe.
These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to the
way in which they are assembled as follows:
pipe diameter (mm) 3275

90 110 125 160 200 250 315

Ring-seal socket joint

b) not to be opened
Use
Use
Ring-seal socket joints can be used to provide a connection between various
prefabricated parts for simpler assembly.
On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outside

diameter provides a great advantage.
Assembly
A short, simple and reliable
connection
B.360.771/001
Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The joint
obtained is simple, quick and reliable.
The heating and melting zone is divided into two fields, as there are no electrical resistances in the centre of the sleeve. This provides a very satisfactory
safety factor.
May be used either vertically or horizontally. The small overall dimensions provide an advantage where space is limited. Can easily be assembled or released
even where access is difficult.
Protection cap
Ring-seal sockets are provided with a yellow protection cap to prevent the
ingress of debris during installation.
Also the ends of the pipes are not heated, the zones remain effectively cold,
and provide further reinforcement, thus cancelling out shrinkage of the pipe.
60
B.370.775/001
40 160
The pressure required for welding is obtained from the shrinking effect of the
sleeve when it is heated, and is evenly distributed over the entire weld. This
shrinkage has a compensating effect on pipe diameter measurement tolerances.
The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been made
they are entirely covered by PE.
150
200 315
The use of original Geberit equipement, especially tempered Geberit HDPE

pipes, are recommended for correct welding.
Electrical sleeves can be made to slide by removing the central stop ring, thus
making system conversion and repair work easier.
Assembly instructions are the same for both ring-seal sockets and screwthreaded joints, the sleeve lengths are the same for corresponding diameters.
The effective sleeve length, i. e. the measurement X from the O-ring to the
base of the socket governs the maximum length of pipe which can be connected by individual joints.
For HDPE approximately 15 mm of spigot should be allowed for every 1 m of
pipe.
The pipe must be fully inserted into the socket, because the socket does not
act as an expander. Owing to the pipe thickness and the low thermal conductivity of HDPE, the socket seal has very satisfactory resistance to heat and no
shrinkage of the O-ring occurs.
The O-ring has a round seat regardless of pipe movements. The O-ring
remains fixed in the seat and is always in contact with the pipe.

Length X varies with the diameter

The stop ring can easily be removed with a screwdriver.
10
Ideal fitting is obtained by chamfering the

pipe end to approximately 15, lubricating it
with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. Do not
use mineral oil or grease which can damage
the rubber seal.

b) not to be opened
Use
Use
Screw-threaded joints are used for assembly of various prefabricated parts

when it is necessary to easily dismantle and also as the connection to sink traps
and shower trays.
An expansion socket is recommended between anchor brackets, particularly on

installations assembled with rigid joints and where excessive thermal movement
is anticipated.
At least one expansion joint must be provided on vertical stacks running from
floor to floor, long collector pipelines and before connecting to the buried drain
pipework.
The seal is pressed against the thread.
B.360.740/001
Different conditions apply for underground installations. For this application field
see page 48.
A minimum surface area of the seal is in contact

with water.
Installation
Can be used either vertically or horizontally. One advantage is the depth of the
sleeve which makes the assembly of downpipes and mains easier, allowing
both vertical and horizontal corrections (e.g. in level, and in the precise positioning of the direction of branches and elbows).

screw-threaded joint
A firm anchor bracket must always be located behind the expansion socket to
avoid any movement of the socket in the event of expansion or contraction.

The special shape of the seal allows the pipe to slide within the socket during expansion and contraction, ensuring that the connection remains perfectly

Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screwthreaded joint by axial tensile forces a flange bushing must be used to ensure
that the connection will resist these forces. It is also recommended that a
screw-threaded joint with flange bushing should be used when installing in
floors or slabs, where the length of pipe between two connections (elbows,
branches or sleeves) is longer than 2 metres.
The seal is pressed against the flange bushing

and the thread.

Example: Insertion depth in an ambient

The following conditions are important to ensure perfect and easy assembly of
the sleeve:
1. Chamfering the inserted pipe end to approximate <) 15.
2.Check the scale on the outer surface of the expansion socket for insertion
depth.
3. Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe.
4.Lubricate the pipe end well with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline.
N.B. Do not use oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal.
For more information see pages 22, 28, 43.
A special expansion socket with stainless steel protection for the rubber seal
can be used for heavy duty industrial and laboratory applications.

Use
Use
Flanges are normally used as disconnectable joints for low pressure installations (industrial plant, pump connection, tanks and swimming pools).
The application field of the coupling is to connect Geberit Silent-db20 pipes

and fittings. The coupling enable an even inner surface of the connections and
the noise requirements can be fulfilled.
The flange connection system offers easy connection to existing iron and steel
installations.
Installation
As inspection access opening made by using a blind flange.
It is advisable to mark the inseration depth of HDPE Silent coupling. Do the
pipe ends accordingly in order to ensure that they are not subject to tension.
Support rings are not required for the Silent pipes and fittings.
Flanges are sintered, i.e. they are coated with polyethylene, and have standard
dimensions (PN 3.2 PN 10).

Geberit HDPE adapter clamp
B.152.153/001
Available from 50 to 160 mm
b) rigid, non-removable
a) to be opened
d) non tension resistant
Use
The Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve is a convenient connection possibility for
most uneven, irregular or special materials.
A common additional application method is also the connection from HDPE to
different clay ware apparatus, e. g. for Laboratory sinks.
Use
The adapter clamps have multiple functions and can consequently be used as
adapters to thirdparty materials as well as any other types of connection.
Installation
The enclosed rubber ring will be placed over the pipe end. Make sure that the
rubber ring will be placed in the middle of the sleeve length (h2). Then push the
contraction sleeve over the pipe end. Apply low heat (approx. 125C) evenly
around the socket, moving the blow lamp constantly.
The sleeve will now shrink and give an absolute watertight and strong
connection. Afterwards fix the contraction sleeve pipe with an anchor bracket.
Installation
It is necessary to insert an appropriate reinforcement ring into the ends of the
HDPE pipe first when these clamps are used as adapters to HDPE pipes or
for HDPE pipe connections.

contraction.
The main purpose of the anchor bracket is to prevent any

movement of the expansion socket.
Application:
For all fixations of Geberit HDPE pipes 40 315mm

except for anchor brackets.
The distance L and the thrust forces P have to be taken in account,

Stacks
When fitting collector pipelines extend 6 m it is necessary to fit expansion

sockets and secure them with anchor brackets (see p. 24).
Between the anchor brackets, guide brackets must be installed at the distance
SAor SB (see p. 26).
Not only does the HDPE expansion socket absorb thermal expansion and
contraction due to temperature changes caused by water discharge, but it also
makes pipe assembly easier, assisting connection at each floor level.
Rules: Maximum distance between Geberit HDPE expansion

sockets 6 m

Anchor bracket for rigid installations
Embedded fixed points
Principal: A
ny variation in length must be prevented by embedded
fixed points in concrete (e.g. electroweld sleeve couplings,
branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provision
of corresponding fixed point structures.
Rules:Anchor brackets must be stronger than the possible forces

generated during thermal expansion or contraction of
Geberit HDPE pipes.
The examples of anchor brackets below show a typical rigid installation.
Examples of anchor
brackets
Anchor bracket with double

electroweld sleeve coupling.
Dimension of pipe nipple

or flat iron profile
The distance L and the thrust
force P have to be taken in
account, when selecting the diameter of the pipe nipple between
mounting plate and bracket. For
the required pipe nipple dimension
see table beside.
Anchor bracket with electrowelding

tape.
Basically Geberit HDPE material absorbs within itself thermal movement due to
its high elasticity.
However, in the case of large diameters (e.g. 315 mm) the forces P (resulting
from expansion and contraction) are considerable. They must be absorbed
by the embedded fixpoints alone, since cement/concrete will not adhere to
HDPE pipework.
Embedding in concrete

electrowelding tape.
Since the fitting has to act as a

Criteria for underground

drainage pipes
1. Tightness
Environmental protection regulationsdo not permit leaking drainage
pipes.
Geberit HDPE is a reliable water
drainage system which assures
maximum dependability with
regard to tightness.
2. Resistance to chemicals
Geberit HDPE provides the assurance of universal resistance
to the greatly diversified types of
chemical attack by the disposal
water, as well as by external factors
(acidic soils).
applications. In addition to the

attack from the inside, the pipes
are also subjected to attacks from
outside. Geberit HDPE excellently
stands up to all these requirements.
3. Flexibility
Geberit HDPE is a flexible, operationally reliable drainage system,
even in soils in which a certain
degree of settling of ground must
be anticipated.
4. Resistance to frost
Geberit HDPE has proven itself
excellently for many years in frost
endangered soils such as in
Scandinavia. It can be used in temperatures ranging down to 40.
5. Material
As in domestic drainage systems,
the quality of the material is the
main criterion for underground
1 Ground acids
2 Stray currents
3Disposal water (with chemical
and thermal attack)
4 No enter of roots
6. Friendly to the environment

The Geberit HDPE drainage systems
comply with environmental regulations.

also important.
B = Bedding
Under normal soil conditions the trench is provided with a bedding layer
of round gravel (grading
up to 30 mm) or of broken material (grading up
to 10 mm) of a thickness
of approx. 100 mm. The
bedding layer must be
compacted and tamped.
In certain cases it will be
neccessary to reinforce
the ground.
Max. covering:
Up to 6 m without problem
In cases of minimum coverings or

U = Underpinning
After the pipe has been
laid, recesses are to be

supported along its entire
length. The underpinning
is to be done with a tamping post or the like. It
must be done very carefully. If several pipes are laid,
make sure that the lowest
one is fully covered before
the one above is placed.
The pipe must lay flat, and
it must be installed with
the correct slope.
C = Consolidation layer
The material is to be
filled in layers of approx.
100 mm thickness.
Tamping can be done
by stamping with the
feet, or with a special
tool. The purpose of this
material is to help prevent the pipe from deforming, so that it must be
compacted well on both
sides at the same time.

Rigid installation
Underground installation of
Geberit expansion sockets
Rigid fixation
The rigid fixings must be stronger

than the possible expansion or
contraction forces of the HDPE
pipe.
In addition to the butt-welded and

electrically welded connection,
the expansion socket is an ideal
connection in underground drainage systems. Since in such systems
lower temperature differences are
usually encountered than in stacks
and connector pipes, smaller
length variations can be accounted
for.

Pipes penetrating through building walls
Connection to manhole
With regard to the ground line

between the building wall and the
street sewer, where extreme
settling can occur, an installation
mat must be wrapped around the
ground line to act as a deflection leg.
Plastic pipes should only be connected with manholes by means of

a special manhole sleeve.
Since settling of ground has to be
expected such a sleeve must have
the same ideal characteristics as
Geberit HDPE: it must assure
tightness and at the same time
flexibility.
Open manhole
In such cases Geberit HDPE is

an ideal material, since it assures
tightness and at the same time
provides maximum flexibility.

Drainage requirements for bridges
Drainage of bridges
Installation indications
Traffic safety/Maintenance
Laid in concrete
Geberit HDPE also meets the

special requirements for all types of
bridges. The pipes and the wide
range of fittings provide an easy
design and execution at the construction site. The smooth walled
pipes make a trouble-free maintenance and service possible,
whereby all modern cleaning equipment can be used.
Piping embedded in the bridge

structure can never be replaced.
It is therefore essential that a drainage material which offers the
greatest security is used. When
choosing this material, the consolidation of the concrete, temperature
variations, contraction and creep,
as well as the prestressing of the
bridge must be taken into consideration.
Frost protection
Geberit HDPE can be installed in
temperatures down to 40C.
However, to ensure water flow in
the pipe an automatic-controlled
heat trace can be fitted.
Thermal movement

T
he watertightness of the expansion socket (example 1)
Where the bridge crosses a river,

railway or another road, an absolu
tely watertight system is essential.
In accordance with the anti-pollution
laws, protection must be maintained
in the event of an accident.
In the case of example 2 an expansion funnel is required to absorb

the lateral movements.

The Geberit HDPE range of products can also be used for the discharge
pipeline of a pump set, provided that the mechanical stress is low, only of short
time and no thermal loaded medium (e.g. warm water) is pumped.

Geberit HDPE pipes are sometimes used as suction pipelines for pumpsets.
The higher the suction lift is, the higher the negative pressure inside the pipeline. Important with such an installation is that the foot valve and strainer are
not blocked.
Foot valve and strainer of the suction pipeline should be kept free from debris,
possible blockage could lead to additional pressure increase.

has to be increased.

Geberit High Density Polyethylene HDPE: Density 951 955 kg/m3

The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 960 kg/m3. The Geberit type at
up to 955 kg/m3, is of the hard quality and has increased durability properties. HDPE
is lighter than water, which is beneficial particularly with regard to transportation and
installation.
Resistance to radioactive effluents

There is no risk of damage as a result of slightly radioactive water. However, please
ask the manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.
Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG)

The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (shortening of dimensions) after
heat load in the plastic pipe, is to take preventative measures during manufacture.
Geberit HDPE pipes are therefore stored in hot water baths after manufacture.
This process increases the safety of the joints, as there is no chance of joints pulling
apart later due to shortening of length.
Resistance to abrasion
Drainage systems are increasingly becoming hidden refuse chutes. A pipes resistance
to abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch pipes, soil stacks and ground
pipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer additional
protection.
Resistance to cold
When Geberit HDPE parts are filled with water and then freeze, they stretch elastically
as the ice expands. Once the ice melts, they resume their original shape, remaining
completely intact and undamaged.
Heat expansion 0,17 mm/m K

Heat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50C increase
in temperature, an expansion of 10 mm of linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.
Flexibility
The flexibility of the piping material can be the main criterion in certain buildings or on
bridges, especially when pipes have to pass through expansion joints or are in
buildings, which are subject to traffic vibration.
Resistance to hot water

Geberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe with no mechanical load, up to 80C.
Temperatures of up to 100C for short periods (e.g. surges of steam) are permissible.
Melt-flow index 0,4 0,5 g/10 min.

This describes the working properties of the pipe and at the same time gives
information on the molecular weight, which is crucial for a number of raw material
properties. The smaller the melt-flow index, the higher the molecular weight and thus
the pipes resistance to stress corrosion.
Resistance to impact
Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very
high even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. 40C) and thus meets the
requirements for outlet pipes.
Heat conductivity 0,43 W/m K

HDPE is a bad heat conductor; for this reason the pipe does not become completely
warmed through when heat loaded for a short period. Heat loss is about 90% less,
for instance, than a similar copper pipe.
Condensate
Geberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during short
periods of undercooling.
63
Behaviour in fire
Plastics are inflammable. However, the classification of plastics according to the usual
fire test for construction materials does not permit a valid statement on the behaviour
of plastic construction parts in the event of a fire.
Tightness
Many years of experience with welding HDPE Pipes, have shown that the butt welds
do not give any problems as the welding parts are circular on the inside and do not
add to the normal risk of blocking.
Non-conductive
Plastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry.
HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.
Protection against blockages

HDPEs water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard.
Rapid outflow of water
Prevention of deposits
Sealing material
Although the chemical resistance of the seal does not equal that of HDPE, there is no
risk of the seal being destroyed, because the rubber ring is installed under compression on all sides and therefore cannot swell. In addition, the wetting factor of the
rubber ring in the joint is very low. Many years of experience have shown that the
sealing material can endure even the harshest conditions.
NB: Such conditions do not occur in drainage pipes.
Free halogens (chlorine, bromine etc.) cause halogenised polyethylene and hydrogen
halide to form at room temperature. The halogenised polyethylene has different
physical and chemical properties from the original hydrocarbon, but the polymer is not
destroyed. Geberit HDPE should therefore not be used at all in areas where free
halogens are produced or used. The only criteria to be observed here are the purpose
for which the pipe is intended and the concentration of halogens.
Welding temperature
Thermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperatures
required are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature for
HDPE is approximately 230C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.
Non-toxic
Plastics are well suited for use in the food industry as packaging material, containers,
bottles etc. Geberit HDPE pipes are used for milk transportation lines in mountain
areas and in the food canning and packing industry.
Solar radiation
Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UV
rays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.
Noise
HDPE is a soft material with a low E-modulus. HDPE limits solid-borne conduction,
but airborne noise should be insulated. This can be done by means of the duct wall,
HDPE Silent or Geberit Isol.
Scope of use
Geberit HDPE pipes are designed for drainage systems. Their use in low-pressure
areas (swimming pools, transportation lines etc.) is subject to a maximum pressure
load of 15 m Water Column (1,5 bar) and a temperature of 30C (10 years).
There is also a certain range of moulded fittings.
Painting
Geberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibility of the material both have a negative impact on paint. If painting is unavoidable, the
paint product to be used should be tested for compatibility with the HDPE.
Chemical resistance
Because of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals.
Its resistance can be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in all
inorganic and organic solutions at 20C. Geberit HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic and
aromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at over 90C. The material will be
attacked by heavily oxidized media (conc. HN03, conc. H2 S04) when exposed over
long periods at room temperature.

The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat shortening of dimensions after
heat load in the plastic pipe is to take preventative measures (Tempering)
during manufacture. Geberit pipes are therefore stored in a hot water bath
after manufacture, this allows the expanded molecules to relax and return to
their normal state = No stresses on Geberit pipes.
9 Drawing device
10 Finished pipe
As a result of manufacturing, the molecule chains are stretched and than

cooled down from about 230C to 40C. This enormous drop in
temperature results in tensile stresses which are frozen in by the cooling
down process.
Molecules after Geberit annealing

process
(all Geberit HDPE pipes)
Stretched molecules after

manufacturing
(non tempered pipes)
When hot water flows through a streched pipe or the pipe is heated up
by doing a welding joint, e.g. with an electroweld sleeve coupling, the
expanded molecules relax and return to their normal state. The pipe
becomes shorter.
Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress on joints and

fixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements for
electroweld sleeve couplings can be met.
Length = 5000 mm
After manufacture
Without tempering, shortening of dimensions can create gaps between pipe

and fitting, pipes can be pulled apart

The significance of the pH value
Chemical resistance list
One of the most crucial factors in selecting a material for a drainage installation
is the chemical loading of the effluent being discharged.
Effluent with a low or a high pH is harmful because of its corrosive effects.
E.g. some drain cleaning fluids have a pH value of up to 12.
Therefore in order to select the most suitable material to handle a specific
discharge it is important not only to know the pH value of the effluent but the
chemical resistance of the pipe materials.
(see Chemical Resistance tables on pages 65 to asses the performance of
Geberit HDPE at various temperatures)
The pH value is therefore important in assessing the chemical level as it will
indicate whether the effluent is acid, neutral or alkaline. The pH scale ranges
from 0 to 14 (see table below). PH valve 7

Explanation
Flow through substance
When the pipe wall material comes into contact with substances flowing through the pipe, different processes can take
place, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), the extraction
of soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or chemical reactions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which can sometimes cause
the properties of the pipes or pipeline parts to change.

The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contact

with effluent substances can be classed as follows:
Resistant
The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being suitable
Limited resistance
The suitability of the pipe wall material must be checked in

each individual case; if necessary, further tests should be
carried out.
Not resistant
The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being
unsuitable.
The following symbols and abbreviations are used to indicate
the composition of the flow substances:
%
Percentages refer to mass proportions in %.
VL Aqueous solution, mass proportion <= 10%.

L
Aqueous solution, mass proportion > 10%.
GL Aqueous solution saturated at 20C.

TR Chemical is at least technically pure.
H
Normal commercial composition.
Traces < 0,1%
Usual mass proportion of any saturated solution or dilution.
Data is based on immersion tests without mechanical load and

reflects current levels of knowledge. No claims under guarantee
may be made on the basis of this information.
The following data is required for a declaration of

chemical resistance:
Corrosion medium, composition (chemical description),
DIN safety data sheet
