1.0 INSTALLATION OF PP-R HOT & COLD-WATER PIPE

1.1 General

The PP-R pipes and fittings are joint with socket fusion.

1.2 Instruction for socket fusion

1.2.1 Preparation

a) Fix heating bushes – attached the heating bushes on the heating tool.
Maximum two set of bushes can be attached in the same time.

b) Check the temperature – Once the socket fusion machine is on, set the
temperature on the electronic display, which must range between 255°c and
265°c. To ensure correct temperature, frequent calibration is recommended.

c) Clean the heating tools – After checking the temperature, wipe the heater bush
with a clean cloth. This operation must be repeated after each welding.

d) Cut the pipe – Cut the pipe at right angle, if necessary, remove burrs from
inside. If necessary, cut deformed damaged pipe ends.

e) Clean pipe & fitting – Clean the fitting inside and the pipe outside (the presence
of dust, grease or other impurities can affect the fusion quality and lead to
leakages).

1.2 Instruction for socket fusion

1.2.2 Fusion

a) Mark the pipe – Mark the insertion depth on the pipe for (see table). The mark
must remain visible under heating and joining.

b) Heat pipe & fitting – Push the pipe and the fitting straight into the heating
bushes. Pull out pipe and fitting slowly and without twisting once the heating
time has elapsed.

c) Joint pipe & fitting – Push the pipe into the fittings so that the welding bead of
pipe and fitting touch together. During the jointing time, small adjustment in
the angle and alignment can be made. During the cooling time, any stress on
the joint must be avoided.

d) Fusion inspection – The outer fusion bead must be inspected. A double bead
must be uninterrupted all around the pipe circumference.

2.2 Procedure for jointing of PVC pipes and fittings

a) Cut the pipe clean and square to the desired length

b) Remove internal and external burrs and remove swarf
c) Without scoring the pipe, mark the pipe a known distance from the end and clear
of the area to be abraded.

NOTE: This mark is used to check the pipe penetration into the socket after
complete of joint.

d) Lightly abrade the end of pipe to be joint.

e) Lightly abrade the inside of the socket of fittings.

f) Thoroughly clean the abraded surface of pipe and fittings with a clean rag
moistened with priming fluid (MEK Cleaner).

g) Using a clean brush, apply solvent cement into the surface of pipe end and inside
of socket, ensuring complete coverage evenly on the surface.

h) Immediately after application of cement, push the pipe fully home into the
fittings.

DO NOT twist, but continue to exert the pressure necessary to hold the pipe into the
fitting 10 ~ 30 second.

i) Wipe off excess cement.

6.0 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND PIPE

6.1 Electro Fusion Jointing

• In the electro fusion process a heating wire permanently mould into the
fitting gets heated by current at a low voltage. The surrounding material
around the wire gets melted and expands due to the warming. The melt
starts closing the gap between pipe and fitting, leading to a heat transition
to the pipe which also gets heated and melts in the welding zone. The pipe
material also expands.

• The increasing material expansion between pipe and fitting, which is

hindered by the cold zones outside the welding zone, leads to a build up a
welding pressure between pipe and fitting and a homogeneous welding
connection emerges.

• Thrust block at the pipe joint shall be provided and the details shall refer
to construction drawing.

6.2 Backfilling

6.2.1 As soon as practicable, after inspection by the engineer/authorized personnel for

the pipe that has been laid and completed, the trench shall be back filled with
selected earth in order to prevent pipes from snacking or floating.

6.2.2 The jointed joint holes may be left unrefilled until the joints have been inspected /
tested.

6.2.3 Material that excavated from the trench shall be use for backfilling provided it is
lump, which may prevent adequate consolidation.
