What is Polyethylene?
Jointing of HDPE Pipeline of 280 mm size for L&T, Barmer

When scientists first experimented with a reaction between ethylene and benzaldehyde using two thousand
atmospheres of internal pressure, their experiment went askew when all the pressure escaped due to a leak in the
testing container. On opening the tube they were stunned to find a white waxy substance that looked a lot like some
form of plastic. After repeating the experiment, they discovered that the loss of pressure was not due to a leak at
all, but was a result of the polymerization process. The residue polyethylene (PE) resin was a milky white, translucent
substance derived from ethylene (CH2=CH2). Polyethylene was produced with low to high density.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has a density ranging from 0.91 to 0.93 g/cm3. The molecules of LDPE have a
carbon backbone with side groups of four to six carbon atoms attached randomly along the main backbone. LDPE is
the most widely used of all plastics, because it is inexpensive, flexible, extremely tough, and chemical-resistant. LDPE
is molded into bottles, garment bags, frozen food packages, and plastic toys.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) has a density that ranges from 0.94 to 0.97 g/cm3. Its molecules have an extremely
long carbon backbone with no side groups. As a result, these molecules align into more compact arrangements,
accounting for the higher density. HDPE is stiffer, stronger, and less translucent than low-density polyethylene. HDPE
is formed into car fuel tanks, packaging and of course piping.

Polyethylene Pipe
Polyethylene was first developed in 1933 as a flexible, low density coating and insulating material for electrical cables.
It played a key role during World War II -- first as an underwater cable coating and then as a critical insulating material
for such vital military applications as radar insulation. Because of its light weight, radar equipment was easier to carry
on a plane, which allowed the out-numbered Allied aircraft to detect German bombers under difficult conditions such
as nightfall and thunderstorms.
High density polyethylene, however, is quite a bit different from the polyethylene used in the 1930s. LDPE was dis-
covered in 1935 and it wasn’t until sixteen years later in 1951 that high density polyethylene appeared on the scene.
As a relatively newcomer in the piping industry, polyethylene is constantly making its way into applications normally
reserved for the older piping technologies.
It was not until after the World War, though, that the material became a preferred choice with consumers and from
that point on, its rise in popularity has been almost unprecedented. Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, polyeth-
ylene has made its way into every corner of our lives launching a multi-billion dollar industry. It became the first plastic
in the United States to be sold more
than a billion pounds a year and it is currently the largest volume plastic in the world. This is partly due to the fact
that there are certain characteristics (or combinations of characteristics) of high density polyethylene that make it an
attractive alternative.
Whether it is an issue of installing a new piping system or rehabilitating an existing system, there are certain require-
ments placed on the piping material: that it be simple to install, that it doesn’t leak or cost a lot to maintain, and will
last a very long time. Effectively, as long as polyethylene can satisfy these demands better than any other material, it
will continue its gain in popularity.
PE Family
In the first generation of PE the curve at 60°C and 80°C always showed a knee before 10,000 h, making it possible
to calculate the co-ordinates of the knee at 20°C by extrapolation. They were generally stiff polymers of high density,
but unsatisfactory environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) at 50°C. With the second (PE80 since 1980) and third
(PE100 since 1990) generations of PE there is no knee anymore at 60°C and even at 80°C, with hardly any brittle
4
MAXIMA HDPE Pipes
With second generation (medium density PE80) the ESCR is improved by increasing the chain branching and lowering
the density as much as possible. The creep resistance is decreased to its lowest possible value in order to optimize
ESCR; the knee before 50 years @ 20°C disappeared, but the short-term resistance decreased due to the lower
density.
In third generation (high density PE80 and PE100) ESCR is improved by branching only the long chains, thereby not
decreasing the density (maintaining stiffness/creep resistance). Short chain branches inserted on the longer molecules
ensure an efficient increase of the resistance to stress cracking in the long term, while creep resistance is maintained
through high density (no branches on short chains that crystallize easily).

Why to Choose MAXIMA HDPE Pipe?
Choosing the right kind of piping material for your project is not easy when you require Strength, Durability as well as
Light weight, Flexibility for easy handling and installation along with Earthquake resistance. As a total piping solution
therefore, MAXIMA HDPE Pipe is chosen above all others.
Until plastic was invented, this was not even a consideration. Piping users were limited to one of two possibilities:
either concrete or metal, both of which were strong with limited durability, but difficult to handle and to install due
to their weight and stiffness. Prior to the invention of polyethylene in the 1950s, plastic pipe was easy enough to
handle and to install, but limited in strength and durability. That all changed with Polyethylene. Piping customer now
had the best of both worlds, with one added bonus. Not only was HDPE pipe durable and easy to install, it could be
homogeneously joined together by heat fusion making it completely leak free.
To select the right piping solution for any project, we provide all kinds of technical specifications and support.
In addition to the various dealers that we have, our team is ready to assist you with your technical and design
questions.

Found good in case of earth quake and soil settlement. MAXIMA HDPE pipes have excellent
Earth Quake / Soil resistance to environment stress cracking which is due to the combined actions of stress and the
13 settlement resistance environment. The stain ability of MAXIMA HDPE pipes under stress is higher than any conventional
pipes, thereby the pipes never fail due to prism loads and soil settlement due to seasonal changes.

Temperature Effect
HDPE pipes have a wide range of temperature application. MAXIMA HDPE pipes perform well at temperatures rang-
ing from -40°C to 45°C for pressure applications and upto 80°C for non-pressure gravity-flow applications. However
for higher temperature applications, suitable pressure de-ratings should be applied.
Exposed to sunlight installation of MAXIMA HDPE pipes will be subjected to temperature rise and fall during day and
night which will cause pipe to change in length as it expands and contracts. Proper precautions should be taken for
these linear expansions and contractions to avert damages to the pipe joints. System design should accommodate
changes in the pipeline due to linear expansion or contraction. Expansion joints should not be used unless they are
specially designed for HDPE pipe systems.

Water Hammer and Pressure Surge Considerations
Water hammer in a piping system conveying any liquid is a high velocity pressure wave caused by a sudden change
in liquid flow velocity due to sudden opening or closing of valves, a pump shutdown or start-up, a pump failure or
any other dynamic event.
The inherent advantages of MAXIMA HDPE pipe, when compared to a rigid piping system lie in the materials ability
to withstand continous system pressures with additional surges resulting from above described dynamic events.
The flexibility and short term mechanical strengths of MAXIMA HDPE pressure pipes allow short term surges above
the design pressure rating of the pipe. The low elastic modulus provides a quick dampening mechanism for shock
loads. This property results in lower surge pressures than in more rigid piping systems like Steel, Ductile Iron or PVC.
For the same liquid and velocity change, surge pressures in polyethylene pipe are about 86% less than in Steel pipe,
about 80% less than in Ductile Iron pipe and about 50% less than in PVC pipe.
Surges affect systems differently depending upon the system design, surge pressure magnitude and surge frequency.
Allowable surge pressure may be limited by the pressure ratings of pumps, valves, fittings, partially restrained joints
or non restrained joining methods or other fittings.
Recommended Flow Velocities
The maximum allowable flow velocity in MAXIMA HDPE pipe is dependent upon the specific details of the system.
If water systems operate at rated pressures, velocities up to 5 ft./sec (1.5 m/s) will generally not exceed the 1.5 to 1
surge pressure guideline and at 10 ft./sec (3 m/sec) the 2 to 1 guideline is generally not exceeded. Velocities as high
as 25 ft./sec (7.6m/s) may be acceptable provided surge pressure effects are controlled. These factors must be decid-
ed with the guidance of design experts.

MAXIMA HDPE Pipes for Potable Water Supply
MAXIMA irrigation systems Ltd, manufactures HDPE Pipes suitable for water and sewer systems. Our HDPE pipes
are specifically designed for installing new pipelines using open-cut & new trench-less technologies like horizontal
directional drilling and replacing old piping systems.
We offer complete solutions with polyethylene (PE) piping for new municipal projects, rehabilitation of existing water
and sewer systems, road and even river crossings. Using MAXIMA HDPE pipe for water distribution and wastewater
disposal systems, will not only eliminate expensive water loss, but it will reduce water contamination and harmful
waste pollution.
HDPE Pipe as a Potable Water Pipe Material

To protect the public health, every inhabited building must
provide a fresh and safe supply of “potable” water for drinking
and an effective system of removing of solid waste and waste
water. The greatest challenge facing municipalities today
is coming to grips with the fact that fresh water is a scarce
resource. When confronted by deteriorating water and sewage
systems that leak; are expensive to replace and susceptible to
contamination, water management experts are now looking at
PE piping system as a virtually leak free piping system which will
resist corrosion and ground movement as severe as earthquakes
at a relatively low cost.
PE Distribution Network
Why Select HDPE Pipe?
For over 40 years, other utilities, have used polyethylene pipe as an efficient piping system and are systematically
engaging in a process to replace concrete, cast iron and steel pipe with polyethylene. Historically, while energy
utilities have at least tried to use the best materials available to transport natural gas because of its potential harm
to the public, water utilities have chosen to go with “whatever works” because water leaks are rarely harmful to the
public. As a result water losses have typically been as much as 30% and above due to leaks in the other material
piping system.
These losses were only acceptable because of the prevailing 14
view that fresh water is unlimited, free and safe. 12

But of course water is neither free or unlimited - it costs money to
10
pump it out of the ground and to purify it - and when it is wasted
because of a leak in the piping system, the economic and ecological

yet, water is not safe when it is contaminated or in short supply. 6
Whenever we find our water contaminated, we either think that it 4

is the source of water itself or the piping system that transfers it to
our homes. This ceases to be an issue in a leak tight piping system. 2

Advantages of HDPE Pipe as Water Distribution Pipe Material
There are three main reasons for using polyethylene as a water main
pipe material:
1) It will reduce water loss and contamination,
2) It is a practical and cost effective replacement for a deteriorating
waterworks and sewage system, and
3) It is capable of handling a variety of environmental conditions from extreme cold, earthquakes and corrosive
materials.
14
MAXIMA HDPE Pipes for Potable Water Supply
Leak Tight
Polyethylene pipe doesn’t leak because it doesn’t corrode and react with the surrounding medium. The heat fused
joints eliminate the possibility of root penetration and the loss of water every 10 to 20 feet as many have discovered
with bell and spigot connections.
Heat fusion makes a leak tight joint that is as strong as the pipe or stronger than the pipe itself and will last the life
of the pipe. Moreover, it’s so flexible that it can take up any soil movement caused by swelling, shrinking and even
EARTHQUAKES.
Easy Installation
The combination of flexibility and leak free joints allow for
unique and cost effective types of installation methods that
the other pipes can’t use with bell and spigot connections.
The flexibility of polyethylene pipe allows to replace existing
water or sewer system utilizing the latest in pipe bursting and
directional drilling techniques.
With HDPE pipe you can revitalize your existing water main
and sewer system without incurring the huge cost of traffic
interruption and surface restoration. These techniques can
save you time and money in most of the applications and you
won’t even know that your entire system is being replaced.
Because of its flexibility, polyethylene pipe can be available in
coils, providing low cost installations. Almost one- eighth the
density of steel, PE does not require the use of heavy lifting and
handling equipment for installation making it is easier to handle and install than the heavier, rigid metallic, concrete
or steel pipe.
Sturdy, Long Lasting and Cost Effective

PE pipe doesn’t corrode or support biological growth.
Only HDPE pipe, however, combines these attributes with the added benefits of heat fused joints, flexibility and
fatigue resistance.
With a much higher impact resistance than other plastic piping material, polyethylene pipe is a much better choice
for any installations where other pipes are more prone to cracks and breaks.
The flexibility of HDPE pressure pipe makes it perfect for shifting soils including areas prone to earthquakes and
deserts.
It produces relatively low surge pressure and it can withstand repetitive pressure surges that exceed the static pressure
rating of the pipe giving it excellent resistance to water hammer events.
With the unique combination of flexibility and corrosion resistance, even conservative research shows that the life of
a HDPE piping system is at least hundred years when the pipe is properly selected and installed.
It’s light weight and flexibility allows for significant savings in labor and equipment, while its ability to handle extremely
aggressive fluids means less money for maintenance and repair.
Its smooth interior means less energy is required to pump water through it than for concrete or steel, saving
considerable money on pumping costs.

Distribution Pipe
It is recommended that Water Utilities providing protected drinking water should use HDPE-80 and HDPE-100 grade
pipes It is a well- known fact that the soil in which the pipes are buried, are of corrosive nature, which triggers outside
corrosion of the conventional pipes. Added to this, the leakage of electricity from the underground cables as well as
spillage of chemicals and contamination of subsoil with leaky sewerage and drainage pipelines add to the galvanic
and chemical corrosion of conventional pipes. Dissolved oxygen and chlorine in the treated water accelerate the
inside corrosion.

MAXIMA HDPE Pipes for House Service Connection
Total distribution and house service connection with MAXIMA polyethylene piping system is not only the way to
provide the society with safe drinking water but also to save the precious unaccounted for drinking water.
Safe Drinking Water

Drinking water is an essential commodity to the society, being supplied to all sections of the society, which includes
healthy, aged and sick. The importance of safe drinking water is vital and the quality of water must not be compromised
in the short or the long term. The quality of water does not just mean the toxicity of contaminants and their direct
impact on health, but also includes the way in which the consumer gets the water.
Influence of Materials
The influence of materials and substances in contact with drinking water should not be underestimated. Leaching
of soluble compounds can produce a direct effect on the taste, turbidity and color of the water. Many materials can
support the growth of microorganisms, which can cause deterioration in the microbiological quality of the water.
Metabolic products produced as a result of microbial growth can cause bad tastes and the development of slimes
and flakes of microbial growth are also capable of producing bad tastes and odours. In some cases, the physical
degradation of a product in service can occur as a result of microorganism growth.
Selection of Pipe Material

The pipe material selected for conveying & distributing potable water should ensure the following essential norms in
a water supply system:
• It should not give taste to water

• It should not change the appearance of the water
• It should not allow growth of microorganisms in the water in contact with the materials or on the surface of the
material.
• It should not release any elements / substances in to the water that may be of concern to public health.
• These conditions are in accordance with BS 6920 - Leaching tests for nonmetallic products for use in contact with
potable
water.
• MAXIMA Irrigation have got their HDPE pipes and fittings for potable water supply, successfully tested by WRc_NSF
Ltd., UK in
accordance with BS 6920.

MAXIMA HDPE Pipes for Disposal Systems
MAXIMA Irrigation Systems Ltd manufacture HDPE pipes suitable for sanitation, sewer and effluent systems. In our
world, everything begins and ends with water. We spend most of our time looking for new and innovative ways of
acquiring water, but very little time thinking of ways to deal with the waste water. In an Ideal Water Management
System, the supply of water for usage and later on its transfer to a sewage or wastewater treatment facility is equally
important.
Otherwise we risk contaminating the water supply leading to health and environmental hazards.
Sewer Pipe for Sanitation Systems

It is no secret that mostly sanitary and sewer systems across the world are obsolete and in a serious state of neglect.
At MAXIMA Irrigation, we believe that piping is a big part of the problem and also the solution.
As we see it, piping is literally the artery through which water is supplied and then discharged.
The problem is that most sewage systems use a piping material that is easily corroded, hard to handle and difficult
to repair or replace.
Polyethylene pipe promises to be a long-term and cost effective solution to this problem. It is well suited for a wide
range of sewage applications in all sorts of circumstances. Its inherent physical characteristics make it impervious to
the extremely aggressive and corrosive materials associated with sewage systems. Polyethylene pipe is light weight,
flexible, durable, corrosion resistant and leak tight making it easier to install than any other pipe material. These
features and its exceptional flow rate make it ideal for transferring extremely aggressive materials and will greatly
reduce pumping and treatment costs.
Why Use HDPE Pipe for Sanitation, Sewer and Effluent Systems ?
The biggest concern facing communities with a deteriorating sewage system is the cost of installation and surface
disruption. The installation or rehabilitation of a sewer system main can be significantly faster and easier with HDPE
pipe. This is primarily due to the pipe’s lighter weight, ease of handling, and its suitability for trench less technologies
like pipe bursting or horizontal directional drilling. Because of its flexibility, HDPE pipe can be shaped during its
installation to curve around obstructions and angles with little difficulty. Its light weight allows you to pull long
assembled lengths of the pipe through long difficult tunnels under roads and structures with little effort at greatly
reduced costs. These benefits and many others make it a serious contender as a sewage piping solution.
If you are thinking about making a long term investment in a sewage infrastructure system for your town or city, let our
experience with sewage piping applications help you to make the right decision for all concerned.
Sewer and Drain

MAXIMA Irrigation is a leading manufacturer of HDPE pipes for municipal, sewer, industrial effluent and wastewater
systems.
We are one of the largest producers of pressure-rated HDPE pipe up to 1600mm dia. For new construction, horizontal/
directional drilling applications, pipe bursting or the trench less replacement of existing lines,
MAXIMA HDPE pipe offers innovative products for sewer and wastewater applications.

Specify MAXIMA HDPE for
• Forced Sewer Mains
• Pipeline Rehabilitation / Trenchless Pipeline Replacement
• Combined Storm & Sanitary Sewer Lines
• Sea Intake & Outfall Lines
• Industrial Effluent Disposal
Practical, Cost-Effective Solutions:

The degradation and corrosion of the sanitary, storm and sewer
systems in India are a natural fact. MAXIMA HDPE offers a long-
term, cost effective solution to handle these situations. The
inherent physical properties and design potential of HDPE pipe
present an ideal combination in meeting the critical demands of
water and wastewater piping systems.
Eliminates Long-Term Effects of chemicals

Corrosion is one of the major problems faced today in sewer and wastewater lines. MAXIMA HDPE piping products
will not corrode. They are immune to most chemicals, microbiological agents and scale buildup. In addition, they will
not rust or deteriorate and are proven to be fully resistant to the forces of organic and inorganic corrosion.
Designed for Years of Reliable Performance

There is no better material available in the market that offers more durability than MAXIMA HDPE. Our pipe product
offers assurances of years of reliable performance without degradation and is made from highest grade resins under
demanding design and production standards. Due to the visco-elastic nature of the polyethylene material, this pipe
can withstand severe pressure surges, ground shifts and freezing without any breaks or disjointing.
Fully Restrained, Fusion Joints

The Butt Fusion process to join HDPE pipe provides for a precision heat weld as strong as the pipe wall. A properly
fused pipe eliminates root penetration, infiltration and exfiltration of the joint. The fusion bond also creates a fully
restrained joint. The strength of the joint enhances the flexibility and resiliency of the whole line, permitting bending
and flexing.
Improved Flow Rates:

The exceptionally smooth inner surface of HDPE pipe presents minimal resistance to fluids, effluent and materials in
flow. The original flow dynamics remain relatively constant for the entire life of the pipe. This is unlike other piping
products that must allow for a reduction in flow capacity over time. Therefore, using MAXIMA HDPE Pipe, a higher
maximum flow rate for a given size can be predicted, compared to other types of piping materials.
Abrasion Resistance:
HDPE offers far better abrasion resistance than the conventional Cement and Metal pipes and hence is a preffered
pipe for Sewer Effluent and Mining Sectors.
22
Faster and Easier Construction:
The construction of a new forced sewer main can be significantly faster and easier with MAXIMA HDPE Pipe. This
is due to the pipe’s lighter weight, ease of handling, fusion capabilities and the reduced trenching parameters. A
narrower trench is typical procedure since the crews do not have to enter the trench during the pipe laying process.
Long lengths of pipe are fully assembled outside and parallel to the trench and then slipped into the trench in a
simple, quick operation. Since HDPE is flexible, it can bend during installation to position in the trench. In addition,
it can curve around obstructions and angles within the trench path. Another cost saving advantage of HDPE is trench
less applications where the lengths of pipe are pulled through tunnels underneath roads or structures through the
use of a pulling head.

Trench less Applications – Horizontal Directional Drilling

MAXIMA HDPE Pipe is an ideal choice for horizontal and directional drilling applications. The inherent properties of
HDPE accommodate all the desired performance characteristics needed for this demanding application.
Horizontal Directional Drilling

This “state of the art” technology is one which is used with HDPE pipe. This is done with a minimum of disruption to
surface activities and other underground services.
Directional drilling is ideal for installing infrastructure beneath highways, roads, and railway tracks, without affecting
traffic load on these networks. The technology can also be used for crossing of rivers, streams, lakes and buildings.
Pipe Bursting
On a worldwide scale, old water, sewer or gas mains have often suffered severe failures due to corrosion, tree root
infestation, pipe settlement and misaligned pipe joints. Over the years this has lead to leakages in the pipes and
formation of sink holes, which in turn becomes a danger to the public.
23
Pipe Bursting is proven method for trench less pipe renewal by following the existing pipeline bore path. The old
pipe (from ND 50) buried in the ground is broken and the fragments displaced whilst simultaneously pulling in the
new pipe, which is often

larger in diameter, thus increasing existing capacity. Pipe bursting renews pressure and sewage pipes made of vitrified
clay, cast iron, ductile iron, steel, asbestos cement, plastic as well as some concrete sewage pipes. Daily replacement
productivity levels of 200m per day are common place.
For trench less pipe replacement, MAXIMA HDPE Pipe are used in pipe bursting projects. This type of installation
requires little or no trenching.

MAXIMA HDPE Pipes – Joints
“No Chain is Stronger than its Weakest Link” phrase is also equally true for piping system joints. The main requirements
to be fulfilled are hydraulic tightness as well as structural stability of the system.
For the satisfactory performance of MAXIMA HDPE pipe system, design and installation methods mainly rely on the
appropriate choice and properly made connections. An adequate and properly made pipe joint will lead to faster and
non-hazardous system operation.
With a view to fulfill the above important aspects of pipeline system as well as to provide the user industry a choice
based on application and economy, RFL have developed several types of jointing systems like Butt Fusion and
Electro-Fusion permanent joints and detachable joints such as Flanged Joints, Self Restrained Sure-Loc joints,
Quick-ConnectTM joints, Compression joints, Snap Fit etc. The choice of joint required for installing MAXIMA HDPE
piping system depends upon requirements based on internal or external pressure, leak tightness, restraint against
longitudinal or side movement, construction and installation requirements as well as application.
1) The Science of Heat Fusion Welding
The fundamental of heat fusion welding is to heat two HDPE pipe surfaces to an appropriate temperature, changing
the resin’s molecular structure to an amorphous liable state, and then fuse them together by application of prescribed
force until cooling occurs, returning the material to a crystalline state and creating one homogeneous pipe.
When fusion pressure is applied at the designated temperature and prescribed force, the molecules from each pipe
surface ends’ surface mix homogenously with each other. As the joint cools, the molecules return to their crystalline
form, the original interfaces have been removed, and the two pipes have become one continuous length. The end
result is a fusion joint that is as strong or stronger than the pipe itself, and this creates the leak-free joint with excellent
resistant to soil movement due to settlement or even due to earthquake. This is one of the amazing strengths of HDPE
pipe.
A. Butt Fusion
Butt Fusion jointing is a method of jointing

HDPE pipes using thermal fusion. This technique
permits the quick assembly of long continuous
joints in a faster and economical way without the
use of modified pipe end or couplers. The fused
joints are reliable and as strong as the pipe itself
thus providing total leak proof system. We also
provide experienced and skilled staff to conduct
and supervise the jointing operations.
56
The Method of HDPE Butt Fusion Welding
Generally speaking, HDPE pipe is Butt fused together using a “fusion welder”. Welding machines vary depending on
the Outside Diameter (OD) of the pipe to be welded. The pipe pieces are held axially by a clamping device to allow
for subsequent operations to take place. Large diameter pipes may require hoisting assistance such as an excavator or
crane. Once the pipe is clamped, the pipe ends are “faced” with a machining tool to establish clean, parallel mating
surfaces, perpendicular to the center line of each pipe. A heating element or heating plate is inserted in between the
faced ends, and the pipe is drawn together against the heating plate. A melt pattern that penetrates into the pipe
ends is formed around both pipe ends. Once the correct melt temperature is reached, the heating plate is quickly
removed, and the melt ends are drawn together with a specified force. The specified force on the joint must be
continuous, and maintained until the joint cools. A small melt bead forms at the joint. On completion, the fused pipe
is removed from the welding machine.

B) Electro fusion welding

Electro fusion welding is a method of joining HDPE pipes using
fittings with integral heating elements Sockets are used to join
mains and service pipes and saddle fittings are used to connect
services to mains.
• The pipe to be joined must be prepared by removing the

outer surface layer to a depth of around 0.2 mm, then pipe and
fitting are clamped together to prevent movement
• Specified electric current is applied across the fitting terminals via a control box.
• The electric current passes through the embedded wire which heats the wire and melts the polymer, fusing the
fitting to
the pipe. The joint is allowed to cool before removing the restraining clamps.
2) Compression Joint
MAXIMA have a range of compression fittings which could
adapt to PLAIN ENDS of PE PIPES. MAXIMA manufacture
compression fittings suitable for PE pipes ranging from 20 mm
to 75 mm OD covered under relevant IS/ISO/DIN standards.
3) Flanged Joint
If transition is to be made to another piping material or if a
pipe section capable of disassembly is required, then MAXIMA
HDPE Pipe Ends (also called Stub-ends) are available that can
be welded to the pipe by means of heat fusion. A metal backup
flange with appropriately sized and spaced bolt holes permits
bolting to standard or specially sized flanges. MAXIMA HDPE
pipes of desired lengths
can be supplied with the factory welded stub end and flange (of
desired material) ready to be bolted together at the project work site.
• Inspect flange faces and ensure that they are clean and undamaged.
• Check that the correct backing flange is supplied.
• Check that the correct gasket is available.
• Loosely assemble flanges. Ensure that flanges and bolt holes align and that flange faces are parallel. Ensure that
the gasket
is correctly positioned.
• Tighten bolts gradually, in sequence, to ensure even loading around the flange to avoid distortion. Ensure that
washers are
used under bolt heads and nuts.
• The sequence for 8 and above bolt holes is that the tightening should be done on bolts opposite to each other
(180°).

4) Quick Release Joint

This type of joint is most commonly used in Sprinkler Irrigation
Systems where quick engagement & disengagement of joints
are required. In this system MAXIMA HDPE Pipes and fittings
are welded on one side with spigot & on the other side with
socket having a Hydraulic rubber seal inside it. To make a joint,
spigot coupler is pushed in to the socket coupler, clamped and
is locked.
5) Joint Quick Connect

Application MAXIMA Quick-ConnectTM HDPE Piping Systems
offer a multitude of advantages for end users in the fields of
Agriculture, Industry, Mining, Drilling and Construction. This
System is easy to work with due to its quick-connecting and
disconnecting joints and will provide years of reliable and
flexible service to the user.
6) HDPE Sure-LocTM Joints

RFL Sure-locTM joints are the new generation joints which are
aimed at evolving an easy and quick jointing system without
the need for butt, electro fusion or any type of mechanical
joints. MAXIMA Sure-loc joints are flexible in the sense that they
are detachable. The joint integrity is achieved by rubber ring
sealing. The joint is self restrained and does not require thrust
blocking or anchoring to keep the joint from separating under
pressure. It is an excellent joint for above ground installations as
the joints can take care of the linear expansion and contraction
of the pipe due to temperature variations.
7) Insert Type Joint

This type of joint is used where HDPE Pipe is to be connected
with another system having metallic fittings such as G.I. Coupler
or Flange. To make this type of Joint, HDPE Pipe is heated to a
temperature of 120°C in oil and then Serrated Metallic Nipple
is inserted into it and secured by Jubilee Clip to ensure a leak-
proof joint. This type of joint is generally used in bore well
application for connecting to submersible pump.

MAXIMA HDPE Pipes – Installation Guidelines
MAXIMA HDPE (Polyethylene) piping can be Installed

A) On the surface, B) Underground, C) Supported above ground, D) Marine or submarine.
A) Above ground installation

Pipe support should be designed to give lateral constraint against movement, while allowing free movement of pipe
in axial direction. Installation at different temperature & pressure rating. Spacing shall be increased 50% for vertical
pipes.
B) Underground Installations
The care taken during installation will dramatically affect the system performance. In any pipe installation the selection
of pipe material plays only 1%, the stiffness of the pipe 2%, the depth of installation 17% and the method of installation
role in 80% for the performance of the system.
Additional information on pipe burial may be found in the various standards such as :
1. IS 7634 for Installation.
2. ASTM D 2321 - Standard Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplastic pipe for sewers and other Gravity
flow
applications.
3. ASTM D 2774 - Standard Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplastic pressure piping.
Typical Trench Size for under ground installation: Generally the pipes are buried at depth of 1 meter depending upon
movement of traffic above the ground.
• Trench width = D + 40 cm.
• Minimum sand cushion
a. below pipe = (10+D/10) cm, b. above pipe = 15 cm
Where D = Outside diameter of pipe in cm.
Buried installations generally involve trench excavation, bed preparation, placing pipe in the trench, backfilling around
the pipe, and then placing backfill to the required finished grade. Pipe application and service requirements, size,
type, soil conditions, backfill soil quality, burial depth and joining requirements will all affect the installation.

MAXIMA HDPE Pipes – Installation Guidelines
Foundation
A foundation is required only when the native trench bottom does not provide a firm working platform, or the
necessary uniform and stable support for the installed pipe. If a foundation is installed, bedding is required above
the foundation.
Bedding
Typical Pipe Installation
In addition to bringing the trench bottom to required pipe bottom grade, the bedding levels out any irregularities and
ensures uniform support along the pipe length. Bedding is required when a foundation is installed, but a foundation
may not be required to install bedding.
Haunching
The embedment under the pipe haunches supports the pipe and distributes the load. The quality of the haunching
backfill and its placement are the most important factors in limiting flexible pipe deformation.
Initial Back fill

This is the critical zone of embedment surrounding the pipe from the foundation to at least 150 cm over the pipe. The
pipe’s ability to support loads and resist deflection is determined by the quality of its placement. Within this zone are
bedding, haunching, primary and secondary zones.
Primary Initial Backfill

This embedment zone provides primary support against lateral pipe deformation. It extends from pipe bottom grade
to at least 3/4th of the pipe diameter height, or to at least 6” over the pipe crown if the pipe is installed where the
pipe will be continuously below normal groundwater level.
Secondary Initial Backfill

Embedment material in this zone distributes overhead loads and isolates the pipe from any adverse effects from
placing final backfill material. Where the ground water level may rise over the pipe, the secondary initial backfill
should be a continuation of the primary initial backfill.
Final Backfill
Final backfill is not on an embedment material, however, it should be free of large rocks, lumps, construction debris,
stones, stumps and any other material with a dimension greater than 8”.
