2.1 POLOPLAST Mechanical

The POLOPLAST pipe system made of PP-R (polypropylene random) offers a non-corrosive and long-lasting solution for conveying fluids in enclosed hydronic systems for residential and commercial buildings, such as hotels and shopping centers, as well as for technological cooling purposes in industrial buildings.

Reliable socket fusion technology is used for connecting pipes up to 4" (125 mm). Pipe diameters 4" (125 mm) and larger are connected using butt fusion technology. Electrofusion sockets can be used with the entire product line and represent further connecting options.

Butt fusion example:

When the pipe and the fitting are fused, their plastic materials join together to form a homogeneous, firmly bonded, and leak-free joint. Special tools are used to heat up the pipe and fitting, which are then joined together. This connec-tion is dependable and leakproof.

2.2 Pipe structure

PP-R MaterialThe POLOPLAST Mechanical piping system enlists the use of polypropylene random (PP-R) copolymers, which are thermoplastic resins produced through the polymerization of propylene, with ethylene or butene bonds introduced in the polymer chain. Having been used globally in piping for 30+ years, the resins have proven to provide a beneficial list of characteristics and are used in a continually widening range of applications.

The most prominent of these characteristics is its resistance to corrosion, scaling, and chemical degradation, which are common failure points for traditional metallic piping. This, combined with a superior strength-to-weight ratio, a lack of harmful toxins, an environmentally conscious manufacturing process, and leak-free joining method, make PP-R pipes and fittings a preferred material class selection.

ML5 TechnologyThe POLOPLAST Mechanical pipe with ML5 layering represents a milestone in PP-R pipe development: five-layer fiber pipe made of three PP-R layers controlled by two layers of a glass fiber mixture.

Distribution of layers

Fiber composite layers Our expansion-control technology made of HPCE, a special POLOPLAST compound material. This PP-R glass fiber compound material has been spe-cially developed by POLOPLAST Polymer Engineering and represents the result of many years of research in this field. The perfect connection of glass fiber and PP-R provides excellent linear expansion and deformation proper-ties, as well as good resistance to impact load at low temperatures.

Comparison of linear expansion

This comparison distinctly shows the linear expansion caused by temperature changes of a standard PP-R pipe and the POLOPLAST ML5 pipe.

Expansion coefficient

*OFI Institute verified*

PP-R layers Layers made of high-grade PP-R provide the color code and guarantee flawless and reliable welding of pipe and fitting. Use of quality material from I.D. to O.D. reduces sound and heat transfer. Smooth, inert inner surfaces prevent surface buildup and encrustations.

No corrosion problems in cooling water systems with POLOPLAST

Cooling water systems need insulation so that the energy can be used in the right place and no condensation collects on the outer pipe surfaces. Even minor weak spots, such as small holes in the insulating sheath, can cause the forma-tion of condensed water and, as a consequence, corrosion. Corrosion-prevention agents could be used to slow the formation of rust on metal pipe’s inner surfaces; however, this method is expensive and toxic.

Apart from that, metal pipes need to be drained and cleaned every five years to prevent deposits that might block the control valves. This causes the spiral of costs to rise if metal pipes are used in cooling and air conditioning systems.

POLOPLAST is made from PP-R and is naturally corrosion-re-sistant. Therefore, the risk of encrustations and deposits is ex-tremely low. Thanks to these properties, it requires significantly less maintenance and guarantees the reliability and longevity of the installation.

3.3.1 SDR—Standard Dimension Ratio

Poloplast pipe systems are engineered for specific applications. SDR is an index in use for the classification of plastic pipes, which describes the ratio between a pipe‘s outer diameter and its wall thickness. This is typically for fusable plastics but different from schedules commonly used in North America.

Higher SDRs mean lower pressure and temperature rating but providing higher flow rates and minimized pipe weight, costs, and fusion time.

s = wall thickness da = outer diameter

3.4 Chemical resistance

Thanks to the special properties of its materials, the POLOPLAST pipe system features excellent chemical resistance.

Chemical resistance of fittings with brass inserts cannot be compared with the resistance of those system elements that are only made of PP-R.

Metallics like copper, manganese, or cobalt deteriorate the thermal aging resistance of PP-R if the plasticized mate-rials come into contact with these metals at certain levels. Please contact POLOPLAST if the pipe system is likely to come into contact with chemicals and other aggressive media.

3.4.1 Chemical disinfection (shock disinfection)

During the process of chemical disinfection (shock disinfection), the disinfecting agent can be fed into the cold-water circulation or the warm-water circulation, respectively. When the disinfecting agent is fed into the warm-water circu-lation, the temperature must first be reduced to below 77° F. Carrying out shock disinfections at higher temperatures is not permissible, as premature material damage cannot be ruled out. In relation to the service life of the installed system, the number of disinfecting procedures must not exceed five cycles. No drinking water may be drawn either during the disinfection process or during the subsequent flushing of the system with cold water.

This table lists the concentration and contact times of chemicals for chemical disinfection.

Active component Chemical formula Max. concentration applied Contact time Max. water temp. in the system

Chlorine dioxide ClO2 6 ppm as ClO2 8 to 12 hrs < 77° F

Hypochlorite ClO- 50 ppm as Cl2 (chlorine) 8 to 12 hrs < 77° F

Permanganate MnO4- 15 ppm 24 hrs < 77° F

Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 150 ppm 24 hrs < 77° F

During the application the applied concentration and application temperature may not be exceeded at any point within the pipe system.

3.4.2 Continuous metered addition of chemicals (permanent disinfection)

The continuous metered addition of chemicals is only permissible in instances when repeated decontamination pro-cesses (thermal or chemical) did not produce the desired results and where the systems in question have low levels of biofilm.

It must be stated that the continuous metered addition of chemicals can in no way replace the structural refurbish-ment of the pipe system and should be regarded merely as a temporary supporting measure until such a time as the refurbishment takes place, and not as a prophylactic measure against Legionella.

If the timeframe and the maximum water temperature are exceeded, damage to the component parts of the pipe sys-tems (pipe, seals, o-rings, etc.) cannot be ruled out. This applies to all prevalent materials used in plumbing technolo-gy (types of metal, plastics, and elastomers).

This table lists the concentration and contact times of chemicals for continuous metered addition.

** For the disinfection process using chlorine dioxide (listed as ClO2), the maximum amount that can be added into the pipe system is 0.4 ppm ClO2.

Active component Chemical formula Max. concentration applied Max. period of application Max. water temp. in the system

Chlorine dioxide** ClO2 0.4 ppm als CIO2 4 months 140° F

Hypochlorite ClO- 0.3 ppm als Cl2 (Chlor) 4 months 140° F

Chlorine Cl2 0.3 ppm als Cl2 (Chlor) 4 months 140° F

Chlorine dioxide** ClO2 0.4 ppm als ClO2 18 months < 77° F

Hypochlorite ClO- 0.3 ppm als Cl2 (Chlor) 18 months < 77° F

Chlorine Cl2 0.3 ppm als Cl2 (Chlor) 18 months < 77° F

4.1 Safety instructions and intended use

Carefully read this technical catalog and the operating instructions before starting work.

• POLOPLAST installation systems may only be planned, assembled, and started up as described in the present catalog.

• For any deviating fields of application, make sure to obtain POLOPLAST’s advice.• All national and international safety regulations and regulations on accident prevention have to be observed.• Planning, installation, and startup have to be carried out pursuant to the current directives, standards, and

regulations, as intended and in accordance with the state of the art.• Only POLOPLAST system components are allowed to be used. The use of other components entails loss of

warranty.• Observe the general safety regulations when handling assembly tools.

Handling instructions

• POLOPLAST PP-R pipes can generally be stored at any ambient temperature. • Nevertheless, the material must never be subject to impacts or blows, particularly at temperatures below 40° F. • Do not drop the pipes when unloading them and protect them from falling objects. • Select the place of storage so as to make sure that the pipes are always supported over their entire length. • Before starting assembly, check the pipe and particularly the pipe ends for cracks or damage. • Observe cleanliness when storing and laying the pipes and fittings. In order to protect the pipes and fittings against contamination, do not remove the packaging material before the material is used.

• Pipes and fittings must not be exposed to UV radiation over four months as this reduces the durability and the special properties of the pipes; provide protection to the pipes from the outside.

• At temperatures below freezing, water supply pipes must be protected from frost and drained, if necessary. • Cut the pipes using only sharp tools.

Avoid sharp impacts and blows to the pipes, especially at low temperatures. Do not throw when unloading. Protect pipes from falling objects.

Put down pipes or pipe bundles carefully. Cover pipes in areas of falling rocks, etc.

Do not use cracked or damaged pipes. Only cut pipes with sharp cutters.

Do not expose pipes to UV radiation for more than four months.

Protect stored pipes from sun and rain.

During fusion process, do not twist the pipe or fitting; push the pipe and fitting joint together in a straight manner.

Minor corrections can only be made during joining.

Protect pipes filled with water from freezing.

Drain lines in danger of freezing.

6.1 Hangers and support

A pipe-hanging system that complies with regulations is subject to the following requirements:

• The hanging system must absorb and control any forces that may occur.• The external impact upon pipes and fittings, caused e.g. by sagging, changes in length, or mechanical load, must

be prevented by applying appropriate support techniques.• The pipework must be held firmly in the intended position.

The supporting mechanism must be selected in accordance with the outside diameter of the pipe due to be fixed into position. Take appropriate measures to ensure that the pipe surface cannot be damaged by any of the pipe-fastening elements.

Experience has shown that pipe clamps with rubber inserts represent the ideal fastening mechanism for POLOPLAST installation systems. In the selection of suitable fastening materials, we generally differentiate between fixed clamps and slide or guide clamps.

6.1.1 Fixed clamps

• Fixed points are determined to divide the pipe line into individual sections, which helps to avoid uncontrolled pipe movement.

• These fixed points need to be designed so as to compensate for the expansion forces arising from the pipe and possibly existing additional loads.

• Keep suspension rod/thread length as short as possible to best manage thermal forces of the pipe.

6.1.2 Slide clamps

• They have to compensate for the axial pipe movement without causing any damage. • When positioning the slide clamps, care must be taken that no fittings or fixtures obstruct the pipeline movement.

6.3 Placing the pipes

Installing pipe in ceiling and wall supports • Use of fixed and sliding clamps is mandatory to control expansion. • If the linear length of a run exceeds 130 feet, an expansion control of some form must be employed.

• Inline supports increase linear fortitude of the pipe, especially in small diameters.

Installing pipe in a vertical shaft • All hangers/clamps must be fixed. • The distance between fixed points must not be greater than 10 feet. • It is recommended to position clamps at each lateral branch run. • With the amount of fixed points on a vertical riser, expansion controls are not required.

Installing pipe embedded in cement, concrete, or subterranean • The friction forces that occur prevent expansion of the pipe. • Resulting tensions are absorbed by the pipe material. • Due to low expansion forces, the embedment material will not be damaged.

6.4 Length variation

Changes in the length of pipes are dependent on the increasing temperature of the pipe material. This temperature change can be caused by different installation and operating temperatures, as well as varying media temperatures. The potential variation in length must be taken into account at the time of installation.

If the operating temperature is higher than the installation temperature, the pipe will elongate. If the media temperature (e.g. cold water) is lower than the installation temperature, the calculation will result in a reduction in length.

The following factors must be considered in the calculation of the variation in length:• Installation temperature• Operating temperatures (media temperatures)• Temperature difference between installation and operating temperatures• Coefficient of linear expansion• Pipe length

The coefficient of linear expansion α are:

• PP-R monolayer

• POLOPLAST fiber pipe

The formula for the calculation of the variation in length is:

α = 1.0 x 10–3

α = 2.533 x 10–4

6.5 Expansion compensation

Variations in length caused by temperature differences must be taken into account during the planning stage to pre-vent subsequent damage to pipelines, fastening elements, and the building structure. In order to keep the occurring stress impacts within acceptable ranges, the variation in length must be compensated appropriately. There are two options available to achieve this compensation:

• Expansion compensation using bending legs and U-pipe bends (“natural” expansion compensation)• Expansion compensation using compensators (“artificial” expansion compensation)

In most cases, directional changes in the pipe routing can be utilized to absorb the variation in length. Should the directional changes not be sufficient, a U-pipe bend must be used.

It is important to bear in mind that the outlets distributed throughout the line system can also influence the variation in length, or may be negatively affected themselves by the variation in length.

Please refer to the manufacturers of the compensators for more information on the expansion compensation provided by compensators.

6.5.1 Bending legs

In order to determine the specific direction in which the expansion compensation is steered, the directional change is installed between two fixed points. Generally, the pipes are arranged in right angles at the points where the direction changes. A variation in the length of one leg produces bending in the other leg. Provided that all legs are of a sufficient length to prevent the resulting flexural strain from becoming too great, the system can flexibly absorb the variation in length.

6.5.2 Expansion loop

If it is not possible to compensate for the variation in length by introducing directional changes into the pipe routing, an expansion loop must be used instead.

For the implementation of the expansion bend, the length lB of the bending leg and the width bmin of the expansion bend must be considered. It is advisable to position the expansion bend in such a way that thelengths l1 and l2 are equal.

bmin = 2 × ΔL + SA

6.6 Insulation

There is a common misconception regarding the lack of need for insulation on PP-R/RCT systems. While the material does have a higher natural R-value than traditional metallics, the decision to insulate is to be made by a system desi-gner based on operation parameters and expected climates. Due to benefits including maximized energy efficiency and reduced lifecycle costs, POLOPLAST America endorses the use of quality insulation practices for the following reasons:

• Protect against:o System condensationo Thermal expansion cyclingo Mechanical stresso Heat transfer to structural components

• Minimize: o System heat loss/gaino Sound transmissiono UV radiationo Risk of contact burn

As a general guideline for insulating systems, POLOPLAST America aligns with the guidelines provided in ASHRAE Standard 90.1 – 2016, Section 6.4.4.1.3 and the following tables.

Table 6.8.3-1 Minimum Piping Insulation Thickness Heating and Hot Water Systemsa,b,c,d,e

(Steam, Steam Condensate, Hot-Water Heating and Domestic Water Systems)

a. For insulation outside the stated conductivity range, the minimum thickness (T ) shall be determined as follows: T = r{(1 + t/r) K/k – 1}, where T = minimum

insulation thickness (in.), r = actual outside radius of pipe (in.), t = insulation thickness listed in this table for applicable fluid temperature and pipe size, K =

conductivity of alternate material at mean rating temperature indicated for the applicable fluid temperature [Btu·in/h·ft2·°F]; and k = the upper value of the

conductivity range listed in this table for the applicable fluid temperature.

b. These thicknesses are based on energy efficiency considerations only. Additional insulation is sometimes required relative to safety issues/surface temperature.

c. For piping smaller than 1.5 in. and located in partitions within conditioned spaces, reduction of these thicknesses by 1 in. shall be permitted (before

thickness adjustment required in footnote [a]) but not to thicknesses below 1 in.

d. For direct-buried heating and hot-water system piping, reduction of these thicknesses by 1.5 in. shall be permitted (before thickness adjustment required in

footnote [a]) but not to thicknesses below 1 in.

e. The table is based on steel pipe. Nonmetallic pipes schedule 80 thickness or less shall use the table values. For other nonmetallic pipes having thermal

resistance greater than that of steel pipe, reduced insulation thicknesses are permitted if documentation is provided showing that the pipe with the proposed

insulation has no more heat transfer per metre than a steel pipe of the same size with the insulation thickness shown in the table.

insulation thickness (in.), r = actual outside radius of pipe (in.), t = insulation thickness listed in this table for applicable fluid temperature and pipe size, K =

conductivity of alternate material at mean rating temperature indicated for the applicable fluid temperature [Btu·in/h·ft2·°F]; and k = the upper value of the

conductivity range listed in this table for the applicable fluid temperature.

b. These thicknesses are based on energy efficiency considerations only. Issues such as water vapor permeability or surface condensation sometimes

require vapor retarders or additional insulation.

c. For direct-buried cooling system piping, insulation is not required.

d. The table is based on steel pipe. Nonmetallic pipes schedule 80 thickness or less shall use the table values. For other nonmetallic pipes having thermal

resistance greater than that of steel pipe, reduced insulation thicknesses are permitted if documentation is provided showing that the pipe with the proposed

insulation has no more heat transfer per foot than a steel pipe of the same size with the insulation thickness shown in the table.

6.7 Fire protection

The behavior of PP-R in the case of fire:

Pipes and fittings made of PP-R, PP-RCT, and with fibers do not exhibit an increased conflagration gas toxicity. In construction objects with a greater need for fire protection measures, pipe ducts through walls and ceilings must be protected against fire in such a way that, as a general principle, all pipe ducts have the same classification as the structural components through which the ducts lead.

One possible solution is the fire protection measure using fire protection collars or special mineral insulation with a melting temperature of > 1,850° F.

INSTALLING PIPE IN FLAME- AND SMOKE-RATED AREAS

POLOPLAST Mechanical pipe as a standalone product does not meet ASTM E84/IMC/UMC code requirements suitable for plenums.

However, no heated or cooled water piping shall be installed without insulation per ASHRAE 90.1 (Section 6.4.4.1.3) and the International Energy Conservation Code (Section R403.4), which require that any heated or chilled water lines must be insulated for good energy conservation practice.

In addition, IMC/UMC codes clearly state that exposure within the plenum is the element considered for allowance.

2012 IMC Section 602.2.1: materials within plenum shall be noncombustible or shall be listed and labeled as having a flame spread index of not more than 25 and a smoke-developed index of not more than 50 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or UL 723.Exceptions:

5. Combustible materials fully enclosed within one of the following:

5.3. Materials listed and labeled for installation in a plenum.

2012 UMC Section 602.2 code: materials exposed within ducts or plenums shall be noncombustible or shall have a flame spread index not to exceed 25 and a smoke developed index not to exceed 50, where tested as a composite product in accordance with ASTM E 84 or UL 723, except as indicated below.

So, to summarize, heated or chilled water piping must be insulated. Anything exposed in a plenum must be E84 compliant. Which means that any pipe in a plenum wrapped in a compliant insulation meets all requirements for both safety and performance. This allows specifiers a premium piping material at no extra costs for plenum installation.

Should the application not require insulation, any type of wraps or jackets that meet the required flame spread and smoke development should bring the system into compliance. You can also look to avoid plenums altogether by choosing to design with ducted or dedicated air management systems, or even use a chase that is fire-rated.

Most importantly, consult with local codes and code officials. If you have any questions, please contact POLOPLAST America for assistance.

7.1 Pressure tests

Completed pipes must be tested for tightness before they are covered or painted. They should be tested with a pres-sure test. The pressure test can be performed with water or air. The test medium depends on the installed and planned commissioning. If the pipe system is to be left empty after the pressure test, a pressure test with air or inert gas should be performed.

The test medium and results should be documented in the test report below. The entire system must undergo a visual check prior to the pressure test. During this check, care should be taken to ensure that the pipelines have been instal-led professionally.

The pressure test consists of two steps:• Preliminary test• Load test

The preliminary test involves checking the system in terms of its tightness. The load test focuses on checking the system’s strength. If only one section of the system is to undergo a pressure test, care must be taken to ensure that any open pipe ends associated with the section concerned have been sealed by means of caps, plugs or blind flanges. It is also important to ensure that the section has been isolated from the rest of the system using suitable shut-off devices. If the system or section contains valves and appliances that have not been designed to withstand the test pressures associated with the preliminary/load test, these components will need to be disassembled and fitting pieces should be used in their place.

The components should not be reinstalled in the system until the pressure test is complete. If the test medium is sup-plied via a connection with a higher pressure level than the test pressure, then a water-pressure-reducing valve (plus a relief valve, if necessary) must be used to prevent the test pressure from being exceeded. Wherever possible, a potable water system should be filled directly from the potable water network. If this is not possible, we recommend that sui-table measures be implemented on the grounds of hygiene. When performing the pressure test with potable water, air bleed devices must be provided at the highest points of the system and the piping system must be fully bled before the test commences.

As a basic principle, POLOPLAST recommends carrying out the pressure test in sections and performing separate tests if there are different types of piping systems. The choice of test medium depends on the piping system, the application, and the time when the system is due to be commissioned. As a basic principle, POLOPLAST recommends carrying out the pressure test for non-potable systems like mechanical applications with water.

The pressure-test form on the next page must be understood as a recommendation from POLOPLAST.

8.1 Quality assurance

All incoming goods that are intended for use as raw and auxiliary materials for further processing are checked for their suitability by POLOPLAST quality assurance.

The manufacture of quality-controlled pipeline systems requires all necessary procedural steps:

• Monitoring• Control• Inspection

Furthermore, all results and procedures are documented.

The minimum requirements for independent company quality control are derived from the corresponding regulations for the quality control of sanitary pipeline systems, in that compliance must also include inspection by a neutral testing institution within the framework of external control.

External control, in addition to external testing of products, includes:

• Testing of the manufacturer’s own required control measures • Examination of the technical equipment requirements • Hygienic and toxicological testing

Summary of key points:

• The entire production process is defined, monitored, documented• Quality management according to DIN EN ISO 9001• Complies with all applicable standards, laws, and regulations• Monitoring by external institutes• Certified system• Energy management according to DIN EN ISO 50001
