external, independent bodies. The first audit was
initially conducted at Georg Fischer Waga N.V. in
1993 by an internationally recognized institution,
Gastec Certification B.V. Ever since, we have been
striving to enhance our quality management system
in order to further improve customer satisfaction.

International and European Standards


For many years Georg Fischer Waga N.V. has been

Allowable test pressure (PEA)


Maximum hydrostatic pressure that a newly installed
component can withstand for a relatively short duration, when either fixed above ground level or laid and
backfilled underground in order to measure the integrity and tightness of the pipeline (see EN 805), often
referred to as test pressure.
Note:
This test pressure is different from the system test
pressure (STP), which is related to the design pressure of the pipeline, and is intended to ensure the integrity and leak tightness of a certain fitting installed.

Joint
Connection between the ends of two pipes and/or
fittings in which a gasket is used to effect a seal.

Joint angular deflection


Angle between the axis of two connected pipe components, which a flexible joint can accommodate.

Joint gap

2.2 Rubber
Rubbers are available in many shapes and qualities.
Rubbers are an essential component of fittings and
valves in pipeline constructions. Depending on the
transported media and temperature, a choice has to
be made for a sealing material. All the different materials have their own specific quality and applications.
Rubber, the basic understandings
There still exists some confusion regarding the material rubber and the methods by which products are
manufactured of it. Natural or synthetic rubber is
combined with several chemicals through mixing
and rolling, resulting in the so-called non-vulcanised
rubber mixture.The added chemicals are often more
important than the rubber raw material, for characteristics of the final product. Such a rubber mixture,
a viscous, plastic mass, will be processed further into
the required product, by a variety of methods. To form
the product to its final shape, moulds are required to
shape the material either by transfer moulding machines or compression presses. The rubber mixture
is introduced in the mould under pressure, at a temperature of about 150 C, resulting in a chemical reaction, which transforms the mixture into a formed,
elastic product. One should be fully aware of the required quality standard, in order to decide on the
compound to be used.

2.2.1 NBR
Nitrile Butadiene Rubber.
Rubber seals should conform to certain requirements, such as:
NEN 5601
Hardness with shore A
NEN-ISO 37
Determination tension and stress
properties
NEN-ISO 48
Hardness with 1 RHD
NEN-ISO 188
Tests for accelerated ageing

NEN-ISO 816
Determination of abrasion
strength
NEN-ISO 1431 Determination of ozone resistance
EN-ISO 1817
Determination of resistance
against fluids
NEN-ISO 2285 Determination of permanent
stretch at temperature
NBR rubber is eminently resistant against gas, oil,
grease, petrol and solvents. The resistance is
strongly dependent on the Acrylonitril percentage;
the best results are achieved with high percentages. However the elasticity, the resistance against
permanent transformation and the low temperature

resistance will decrease. The material is sensitive


to corrosion by ozone. At lower temperatures, NBR
will stiffen. Depending on the mixture, the maximum
temperature for use can be up to around 90 C. By
complete immersion in for example oil, NBR can be
used up to around 120 C. NBR is also suitable for
use in drinking- and waste water systems. All NBR
seals used by Georg Fischer Waga N.V. meet the
requirements of EN 682 GB (DIN 3535/3) for gas applications, and are suitable for use in drinking water
systems.

2.2.2 EPDM
Ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer rubber.
By co-polymerisation of ethane and propane, an
elastomer arises without double bindings, that can
only be vulcanised with peroxides. If with polymerisation a third monomer is built in, the elastomer can
be vulcanised with sulphur (EPDM). EPDM is very
well resistant against weather influences in general and ozone especially. Besides that, the material
is excellently resistant against high temperatures,
hardly sensitive to corrosion, and resistant against
free-basing, acid and solvents. Depending on the
mixture and type of vulcanisation, the maximum
temperature for use of EPDM is around 120 C.
All EPDM seals used by Georg Fischer Waga N.V.

To ensure a durable, high quality corrosion protection of castings (and other metals), coatings must be
resistant to temperature changes and the effects of
weather and other environmental influences such as
moisture, industrial gases etc., which stress the casting. The coating must ensure a completely sealed
surface without porous areas. A protective coating
prevents corrosion and the formation of corrosion
products which, when carried along the pipeline,
could lead to disruption at other points. A smooth
surface reduces friction between the transported
medium and the fitting. Encrustation by salts or
organic materials is avoided.

3.1.1 Epoxy coatings


Coatings on the basis of epoxy resin are the best way
of protecting castings. Epoxy powder coatings offer
long-term reliability. The coating protects the entire
surface area, with a film thickness of minimum 250
m. It has no pinholes, tested with 3 kV. The epoxy
resin technology uses less energy compared to other
coating processes, as the parts are only heated up
to approximately 200 C. The application processes
of epoxy coatings, Fluidised Bed Coating or Electrostatic Spray Application, allow automatic manufacturing processes and result in a homogeneous layer
thickness inside and outside of the fittings, formed
by one material without discontinuity. Consequently
it offers excellent edge coverage. We were one of the
first coupling manufacturers who started to have
their product protected with an epoxy coating ever.
Since we introduced the epoxy-coated couplings in
the beginning of 1987, we have built up a lot of experience and know-how. Within the European Standard
work groups, the tendency is very clearly towards
epoxy coatings instead of other coatings. As a member of GSK, Georg Fischer Waga N.V. contributes to
lifting the standards for epoxy coating used in the
(utility) market.

GSK
The GSK, Quality Association for Heavy
Duty Corrosion Protection of Powder
Coated Valves and Fittings, was founded in 1993 in
order to fulfil the growing quality requirements for
pipelines in many European countries. Today the
GSK has 27 members, all leading European manufacturers of fittings and valves, engineering companies and producers of fusion bonded epoxy powder
coatings. The epoxy powder coating of valves and fit-

tings is the ideal technology for long-term corrosion


protection and involves the highest levels of quality
control in their manufacture. GSK is recognised by
2!,'ERMAN)NSTITUTEFOR1UALITY!SSURANCEAND
Quality Marks) and sets the quality and testing standards for machinery, materials, processes and quality assurance in the epoxy coatings technology. The
regulations of the GSK not only meet the requirements of the relevant national and international
standards (e.g. DIN, ISO) but also exceed them. The
fixed quality level serves as a reliable standard for
builders, engineers, construction workers and
manufacturers. A safe and consistent quality fulfils
high demands. The quality is controlled by an independent test laboratory: MPA Germany.

3.1.1.2 Approvals
A wide range of approvals assures the suitability in
contact with gas and drinking water. The tests include water purity and bacterial attack. Furthermore
the coating meets the requirements specified for use
in waste water and gas pipe systems. The coating
also meets the requirements of Kest SFW 2.0. The
RESICOAT R4 epoxy resin carries over 80 drinking
water approvals.Some of these include: Belgaqua
(Belgium), DGS (France), KWT (Germany), KIWA
(the Netherlands), NSF Standard 61 (USA), WRAS
(United Kingdom) as well as drinking water approvals in Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
And last but not least the RESICOAT R4 meets the
requirements of DIN 30677, 30677 T1 + T2, DIN 3476
and passes the GSK standard.

Coating application process


Before the fittings are coated, they are cleaned, and
then grid-blasted according to class SA 2 . Both
application techniques, Fluidised Bed Coating or
Electrostatic Spray Application, are used to apply the
coating to our fittings.

Fluidized bed coating


The powder melts onto the pre-heated grid-blasted
fitting and excessive powder falls off, helped by
movement of the coated part.

Electrostatic spray application


The powder is applied by an electrostatic spray gun,
either manually or by a robot.

3.2 Anti Friction coating


Galling or fretting is a severe form of adhesive wear,
which occurs during sliding contact of one surface
relative to another. Clumps of one part may stick to
the mating part and break away from the surface.
This is also the case with stainless steel. To prevent
this problem, anti friction coatings can be used. Blue
coloured coating indicates that the bolts are stainless steel A2 and black coloured coating indicates
16

that the bolts are stainless steel A4.

3.2.1 Teflon coating (PTFE)


In order to prevent friction, the stainless steel bolts
and nuts are spray-coated with fluoro-carbon coating, a low friction coating applied to threads. This
anti friction coating is a dry lubricant consisting of
suspensions of the solid lubricant PTFE. This coating has the property of reducing the torque-tension
scatter during tightening. This type of coating is also
used to prevent problems caused by weld splatter
obstructing the threads of weld nuts during their
placement and it eliminates the need for masking or
cleaning when painted, since paint will not adhere to
the coating. The Teflon coating can be supplied in a
wide variety of different colours.

3.3 Lubricants
3.3.1 Silicone lubricants (rubber parts)
As a standard Georg Fischer Waga N.V. applies CFS
silicone spray, a colourless silicone fluid for oil and
grease free lubrication between the rubber and the
fitting. Because the silicone will vaporise in time, it
is advised to check for adherence between the aforementioned parts, and subsequently
relubricate if necessary. This
lubrication provides a friction
free installation, leading to less
tension in the rubber, which will
contribute to a longer life
expectancy of the fitting.

3.3.2 Passivated nuts


Another anti friction measure is the use of passivated nuts. Here, another zinc layer lubricates the
thread reducing friction.

for use in products, that are in contact with foods.
If another type of lubricant is used, check if the lubricant does not contain elements that affect the

rubber. For use in potable water systems it is advised


to use a lubricant, which is approved for such use.

3.3.3 Anti-Seize Compounds


Anti-seize compounds are used on the threads of
fasteners. It prevents galling of mating surfaces on
especially the stainless steel fasteners. Furthermore
it can provide a barrier to water penetration since
the threads are sealed by use of the compound. On
the steel fasteners it therefore also improves the
corrosion resistance to allow the parts to be subsequently disassembled even under adverse environmental conditions. We advise to use a lubricant
containing molybdenum disulphide or copper, such
as Molykote Cu-7439 plus copper past or equivalent.
This solid lubricant acts as a high pressure resistant
film. It can be used by itself as a dry lubricant as well
as in other solid lubricants and in oils and greases.

4 Technical specifications for flanges


Flanged connections are one of the oldest methods
of connecting pipes and/or fitting together. One of
the first flanged connections dates from the 17th
century and was described in a standard for the first
time in 1882. In 1926 the first material indepedent
standard for mating dimension of flanges was published. These standard sizes made it possible to connect two flanges, independent of type, within the
same DN (nominal size) and PN (pressure class)
together regardless the material of which the flange
was made from.

4.1 Flange mating dimensions


The mating dimensions describe the interchangeability between flanges within the same DN and PN.
The mating dimensions are described by:
 DIAMETEROFBOLTCIRCLEPITCHCIRCLE 
 NUMBEROFBOLTSPITCH
 DIAMETEROFBOLTHOLEBOLTSIZE 
The mating dimensions, which are used in our
products, are standard PN 10 or PN 16 according EN
1092-2, ISO 2531, DIN 2501, DIN 28604 / 28605 and
other EN-ISO-DIN orientated standards. This secures the interchangeability with BS 4504: Section
3.2:1989 up to DN 300.

Drilling patterns
(e.g. mating dimensions) of other standards can be
supplied as long as they are allowed within the physical dimensions of the flange.

4.2 Physical dimensions


Other physical dimensions of the flange determine
the strength of the flange. This strength is depending
on the type of material of which the flange is made
of.
Physical dimensions are:

 CONCENTRICALLYGROOVES
The flanges used in our products are all dimensioned type B (raised face) according to EN 1092-2.

4.3 Flange facing


All flange facings in our cast iron product lines are
standard equipped with concentrically grooves.
These grooves, opposite to flat facings, give a ring
18

tightening force to the flange gasket rather than a


faced tightening. This ensures a heavy-duty performance with high life expectancy in combination with
rubber flange gasket

5 Insert stiffeners
In this chapter, the need of using insert stiffeners
(also called support liners) in general is explained.
Also the specific guideline of using inserts in combination with the Georg Fischer Waga N.V. products is
mentioned.

an insert stiffener, the bending point is diverted away


from the sealing area, resulting in a long-lasting leak
free connection (picture 4.)

5.3 Use of insert stiffeners


In order to guarantee the best possible performance
of the Georg Fischer Waga N.V. fittings on plastic
pipes, we set the following directive:

5.1 Mechanical pipe joints on plastic pipes


Plastic materials suffer from material relaxation,
resulting in a change of shape over time. This phenomenon is known as stress relaxation. Especially
when installing a mechanical coupling on plastic
pipes, tightening of the bolts results in an increased
surface pressure of the joint onto the plastic pipe
wall. This extra pressure in most cases leads to a
deformation of the pipe wall (picture 1), enhancing
the relaxation process. In case of restraint mechaNICALJOINTS SUCHASTHE-5,4)*/).4 3007 Family,
the forces of the restraining mechanism brought
onto the pipe are often much higher than the forces
of the sealing mechanism. These higher stress
levels will therefore result in a higher creep deformation and might cause a higher risk of joint failure.
By inserting a stainless steel insert stiffener into the
plastic pipe end, the pipe is reinforced from the inside, ensuring that the pipe wall cannot be deformed
(picture 2). This will result in the best possible connection on plastic pipes.

1.

Use of an insert stiffener (approved by Georg Fischer


Waga N.V.) is mandatory on all plastic pipes, both
for restraint and non restraint connections, both for
permanent and temporary connections.
Exceptions:
No insert stiffeners need to be used for temporary
(< 5 years) non-restraint connections on:
- PP-B, PB and HD-PE (80/100) pipes with
SDR-class 11 or smaller
- PVC pipes with SDR-class 21 or smaller
Remark:
In theory, the pressure inside the pipe is an important factor to determine if an insert stiffener is
required or not. The inside pressure could take over
the function of an insert stiffener, but only when
this pressure would be constantly present and never
drop. In practice, a constantly present pressure is
never the case. Therefore, Georg Fischer Waga N.V.
always requires the use of insert stiffeners according
to the above.

Residual stress and bending torques

5.2 Bending torques


Another reason for using the stainless steel insert
stiffeners is to avoid bending torques. A plastic pipe
always tends to knick exactly at the spot of the sealing
area when bending torques act on the pipe (picture 3.).
This might result in leakages of the fitting. When using

Georg Fischer Waga N.V. offers two types of insert


stiffeners for different applications. Depending on
the application the right choice has to be made. To
guarantee the correct support to the spigot, insert
stiffeners must be designed according the intended
use for plastic piping systems. Therefore insert stiffeners must conform to the following properties to
guarantee its function.

5.4.1 Insert Economy


The Insert Economy is designed for (PE, PB, PVC
etc.) pipes dimensioned according to DIN 8074. The
insert can be installed in these pipes as long as
they are within the allowed production tolerances.
In order to secure a sufficient support to the pipe,
the (nominal) diameter of the insert is just below
the nominal inside diameter of the pipe. This means
that when the pipe is produced at its biggest tolerANCE ITFALLSIN SUPPORTEDBYTHEDIMPLES7HEN
the pipe is produced at its lowest tolerance, you need
some extra force to put in the insert. But this extra
force should be no more than can be achieved with a
hammer. The Insert Economy is available for various
SDR-sizes. To guarantee the correct working of the
insert, the use is limited to pipes up to DN300. Above
this dimension, the production tolerances become
such, that sufficient support is no longer guaranteed. For inserts bigger than DN300, we offer the
inserts with wedge.

5.4.2 Insert with wedge


The insert with wedge is intended for pipes with
larger production tolerances and pipes produced
according to unknown standards, and is available
up to DN800. The wedge construction offers a small
tolerance, overcoming minor dimension differences
of the pipe. After positioning the insert, the wedge is
hammered in, to fix the insert. After that the top-end
of the remaining wedge has to be sawed off.

segmented plastic ring combined with a thin rubber
gasket. This combination is called the Variofleks

where the gasket ensures the leak tightness. This
separation of functions prevents gasket overstressing and results in an expected leak and trouble free functioning of the coupling for 50 years, for
every pipe outside diameter within the coupling
range.

6.4 Body and gland


The length of the body determines the insertions
depth or joint gap possible. Because the insertion
depth complies, and even exceeds, the dimensions
given in ISO 2531, large joint gaps can be covered.
Secondly the design of the body and gland are such
that losses in tension, which will occur in time, are
compensated by the flexibility of the ears.

7.2 Body and gland


The length of the body determines the insertions
depth or joint gap possible. Because the insertion
depth complies, and even exceeds, the dimensions
given in ISO 2531, large joint gaps can be covered.
Secondly the design of the body and gland are such
that losses in tension, which will occur in time, are
compensated by the flexibility of the ears. The high
modulus of GGG 40 ductile cast iron guarantees a
sufficient, durable pressure on the rubber ring.

For bigger pipes from DN 300 up to and including DN

3. Safety
This drilling device functions by making use of a strong feed spring. A sudden
release of the energy used by this spring during the drilling operation, can cause
serious injuries. Follow the instructions carefully.
Bear in mind that the medium could escape during the drilling operation at
several stages. Take the necessary precautions to intercept this when needed.

Preparation of the Drilling Device


1. Select the accessories for the operation.
o Choose the appropriate threaded adapter [A1] to connect to the saddle
or valve.
o Choose the appropriate drill [A3] to cut through the pipe material.
o Choose the appropriate drill adapter (mandrel) [A2] to fit the drill onto
the drill shaft [17].
2. Screw the treaded adapter [A1] fully on the drilling device (make sure the
O-ring [15] seals the connection between adapter [A1] and jointing part [10]).
3. Fit the drill [A3] to the mandrel [A2] and make sure that the pilot drill sticks out
of the cup drill.
4. Fit the mandrel assembly in the drill shaft [17] and secure with the cone fit
screw [19]. The screw should not stick out of the drill shaft [17] .

Mounting the drilling device to the saddle


5. Install the complete drilling device onto the saddle or valve and
hand-tighten.
6. Make sure that the pilot drill [A2] is not in touch with the pipe wall yet.

7. Use a suitable thread seal on the adapter [A1].


8. Install the complete machine onto the saddle or valve and tighten.
9. Slightly open the socket screws in the clamp parts [2] and retract the drill
shaft [17] fully.
10. Make sure that the shut-off mechanism does not touch the mandrel
assembly. In that case an extension adapter should be fitted.

Drilling
11. Slightly open the socket screws (when closed) in the clamp parts [2] and
push the drill shaft [17] forward until the pilot drill [A2] touches the pipe wall.
12. Firmly tighten the socket screws of the clamp parts [2].
13. Close the flush valve [17].
14. Start rotating the drill shaft [17] clockwise using the ratchet [18] or a suitable
motor. For the optimal rotation speed check the information of the drill
manufacturer, but keep the speed below 150 min-1.
15. Turn the traverse part (feed part [8]) gradually clockwise. The spring gets
tensioned, and the pilot drill [A2] shall slowly start to cut the pipe wall. The
spring load can be monitored by the opening appearing under the spring load
indicator [4] .
16. For under pressure drillings in water mains, the flush valve [14] can be
opened carefully, to flush out the chips.
17. Once the cup drill [A3] starts to cut, the distance (A) between the spring load
indicator [4] and the feed part [8] (representing the spring load) should be
kept as advised in table 1.

area where seal will be applied
and remove all rust and loose or
flaking surface material, material
damages and burs.

Remove or hammer in any lead


which may have come out.

Cut the rubber gasket under an


angle of 45 to make sure it fits
the diameter of the pipe (pay
attention: this is a precise job!).

Staple or glue the seal to keep it


in position during the remaining
of the installation.

7. Mounting segment rings

8. Tighten the leak clamp

9. Setting of the leak clamp

10. Retightening

Assemble the rings close to


the bell joint (the closer, the
better) and tighten the segment
rings to make sure they will keep
the desired diameter.

Line-up all parts and make sure


that the stapled or glued rubber
gasket remains mounted properly. Install the clamping bolts
and handtighten them.

Tighten the bolts (cross-wise)


keeping the distance between
the segment rings equally at a
torque of 50 Nm.

After tightening the bolts at


50 Nm, gently hammer the rings
closer to the pipe. This will speed
up the setting of the rubber
gasket.

Retighten the bolts (cross-wise)


once more with a torque of
50 Nm. The WAL/V is now successfully installed.
