Geberit HDPE: outstanding material characteristics The inherent properties of high density polyethylene ensure that Geberit HDPE is a flexible, hard wearing and durable system to suit almost any drainage application.

Quality Severe internal and external controls by independent testing institutes secure perfect quality.

Resistance to extremes of temperature Geberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe for temperatures of up to 80°C. Temperatures of up to 100°C are permissible for short periods (e.g. surges of steam). The system is equally suited for freezing temperatures and adapts elastically to cope with expansion, remaining completely intact and undamaged after thawing.

Licensed Geberit tempering process Geberit HDPE pipes undergo a licensed annealing process in hot water to reduce inherent tensile stresses created during manufacture. This process ensures long-term joint integrity, as thermal expansion and reversion are reduced compared with untreated pipes.

Impact resistance Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature and offers excellent impact resistance even at temperatures of – 40°C, thus meeting the requirements for drainage systems.

Chemical resistance Geberit HDPE also offers considerable resistance to chemicals, because of its paraffin structure. The system is insoluble in all inorganic or organic solutions at 20°C.

Crush resistance & flexibility The flexibility of Geberit HDPE guarantees crush resistance and superior performance in applications where pipes pass through expansion joints or are subject to traffic vibration.

Resistance to abrasion Drainage systems are increasingly misused for "refuse chutes”. Hence a pipe’s resistance to abrasion is a particularly important factor for branch pipes, soil stacks and ground pipes. HDPE is very resistant to abrasion, its extra thick walls offer superior protection from both internal and external abrasion.

Lightweight Geberit HDPE combines toughness and durability with the advantage of being lightweight.

The processing Manual butt welding The welding plate is especially suitable for welding dimensions up to ø 75 mm. Due to its light weight it can easily be used on-site.

Machine butt welding The butt welding machines Media and Universal are for dimensions from 50 – 160 mm (315 mm respectively). They are especially suitable for prefabrication off site. The light-weight properties of the system allow specifiers and contractors to design and build pipe runs away from a construction site.

Electrowelding The Geberit electrofusion machine is ideal for use on construction site to create a fast, simple and reliable connection. Electroweld sleeve couplings are available from ø 40 to 315 mm.

The application Building drainage Geberit HDPE can be used in installations in apartment buildings, industry and laboratories. The wide range of jointing methods available for use ensures that Geberit HDPE provides a solution for any application and guarantees that the installation is easy and quick.

Installation in concrete The flexibility, the easy processing and the abrasion resistance of the Geberit HDPE drainage system make it ideal for using the system in concrete.

Underground drainage Like in domestic drainage systems, the choice of the material is also crucial for installation underground. The resistance to abrasion – internal and external, as well as the crush resistance and flexibility enable to lay the Geberit HDPE system in the ground.

The aerator fitting is designed to: ■

prevent the formation of a plug of water in the stack by the lateral water-flow from the branch

■

mix efficiently the waste flowing in the branches with the water/air-flow in the stack

■

ensure the venting action to the branch pipes

■

limit velocity of both liquid and air in the stack

■

avoid the penetration of any splash water or foam into the branches

■

offer versatile jointing possibilities in one single fitting

Performance of the Sovent aerator fitting Due to the formation of a hydraulic plug in the stack by the inflowing water from a branch, conventional stacks very easily are overloaded with negative pressures, exceeding the tolerable limits and traps losing their water seal.

Geberit Pluvia – the hardware ®

The Geberit Pluvia outlets are developed for all types of roof structures. Due to the different discharge rates of the outlets (12 l/s or 25 l/s) an economical layout of the roof drainage system can be reached. The wide range of contact sheets and accessories allows to connect with every roof material. The Geberit Pluvia outlets can also be transformed into emergency outlets with an additional installation kit.

The Geberit HDPE range of pipes and fittings is the ideal system to meet the requirements of the Pluvia roof drainage system. Due to its outstanding material characteristics Geberit HDPE is especially suitable for prefabrication.

The fastening system The Geberit Pluvia fastening system was developed for the installation of exposed horizontal roof drainage piping. The expansions and contractions of the pipes, that occur after installation, are absorbed by the system itself. For this purpose, all mechanical forces are transmitted to the square steel rail routed parallel to the pipe.

Fastening system features ■

Large spans between beams can be bridged in bay structures.

■

Fewer fasteners on roof structres.

■

Pre-assembly on the bay floor is possible: – alignment of clamps on the rail, or – alignment of clamps and of HDPE pipe on the rail

■

The clamps are conveniently secured with wedges.

■

Only very simple tools are required for the assembly of the system.

Geberit Pluvia – the support package ®

Geberit Pluvia consulting services Geberit engineers are trained to provide comprehensive support for the design of Geberit Pluvia installations world-wide. The syphonic roof system is widely used in the industrial and commercial sector for all roofs larger than 1000 m 2 (10000 sq. ft), including flat roofs, shed-type or normal pitch roofs, but also dome-shaped and arched roofs with various curvatures.
