Hydro-Plast is one of the first manufacturer of pla-

stic sanitary installations. It has been operating in
the market since 1988.
Hydro-Plasts products are made from polypropylene
PP-R, the material designed for the needs of internal
water installations and central heating.

Hydro-Plast has a complete system of pipes, stabi

pipes and fittings with diameters ranging from 16
to 110 mm as well as complementary products
such as cutters for stabi, welding machines, pipe
cutters, etc..
Hydro-Plast has all indispensable technical appro-
vals, Hygienic Certificate and we remain under con-
The highest quality of Hydro-Plasts products is gu-
stant scrutiny of research institutes including among
aranteed by, among other things, state of-the-art
others The Central Laboratory for Plastic Pipe Te-
research laboratory and a modern tool-room manu-
sting at The Central Mining Institute which ensures
facturing moulds for fittings production.
a consistent high quality of our products.
Service life of Hydro-Plasts products is up to 50
years. The wide range of available diameters (16-
110mm) allows to construct any inner pressure in-
stallations not only sanitary but also technological
ones.
Our systems show excellent perfor-
mance conveying not only water but
it is also suitable for 300 other fluids.

The best testimonial to the high stan-

dard of our products is the fact that
for many years they have been used
ceaselessly in such premises as The
Royal Castle in Warsaw, Lublin Ca-
stle and in countless other public
buildings. They have also found
application in irrigation of green-
houses, gardens and fields.
In 2007 Hydro-Plast company became
a part of Aalberts Industries - an inter-
national industrial group with its regi-
stered office in Holland.

4.1 Stabi pipe
Stabi pipe combines the advantages of metal and
plastic pipes.
It differs from homogenous pipes in terms of linear
expansion coefficient which is:
= 0.03 [mm/mK] - for stabi pipes
= 0.15 [mm/mK] for homogenous pipes
Aluminum layer performs the following functions:
Decreases linear thermal expansion of a pipe
so consequently under the influence of hot
water stabi pipe may extend slightly whereas
the pipe made from the same material extends
five times more.
Improves pipe resistance to mechanical dama-
ges.
Reduces permeability of gases which is espe-
cially vital for closed cycle heating installa-
tions.
These properties as well as the higher rigidity
of a pipe make it possible to reduce the num-
ber of supports.

5. Mounting guidelines
5.1 Basic principles of routing and fixing
polypropylene pipes
1. Pipe installation should be carried out by licen-
sed and qualified people.
2. PP pipes in water supply installations inside bu-
ildings should not be laid above gas and electric
supply systems.
3. Minimum distance between PP pipes and heat
pipes shall be 10 cm counting from the pipes
surface. Otherwise an insulation should be ap-
plied.
4. In case of warm domestic water installations it is
recommended to insulate a riser and horizontal
piping whereas in central heating installations
to insulate a riser piping in wall channels and
a horizontal piping running through unheated
spaces.
5. Pipes in water supply installations inside buil-
dings should be laid in such a way that they are
protected against mechanical damage.
6. All elements of the installation directly adjoining
plastics shall be equipped with an elastic sepa-
rator.
7. Where the pipes are laid through a building wall,
protective sleeves, at least 2 cm longer than
wall thickness, should be applied. The space be-
tween a pipe and a sleeve should be filled with
an elastic material.
8. Clamps used to fix PP pipes should allow the
pipe a free sliding movement.
9. Thermal elongation of a pipe should be taken
into account and a self-compensation should be
applied.
10. PP pipes should be joined by welding and by
means of connectors.
11. During welding adequate welding parameters
determined for a certain material should be ob-
served.
12. The system components must be protected aga-
inst radiation UV. Long-term exposure to sunli-
ght can degrade the operating properties of the
system. When the elements are installed unpro-
tected on outdoor wall surface they must be co-
vered with suitable insulation.
technical Catalogue

Components of plastic piping systems must be

protected against impact, falling, blow or any
other mechanical damage during their trans-
port and installation.

Only the components that are not damaged

or contaminated, during storage or transpor-
tation, may be used for installation works.

A minimum temperature for plastic piping in-

stallation, as regards welding, is +5 C. At lo-
wers temperatures it is difficult to provide wor-
king conditions for high quality pipe joints.

Pipeline crossings are made by means of the-

components specially designed for this purpo-
se.

Joining of plastic parts is done by polyfusion

welding which results in a high-quality homo-
geneous joint. Joining must be performed un-
der specified working conditions with the use
of apropriate tools. It is not recommended to
weld Hydro-Plast components together with
other brand products (no warranty).

Components must not be exposed to open

fire.

Sharp and professional tools can only be used

to cut the pipes.

5.2 Pipe fixing

The design of a pipeline route must consider the ma-

terial of the distribution system (thermal expansion
coefficient), necessity to allow for expansion, given
operating conditions (a combination of pressure and
temperature levels) and a type of pipe joints. Fixing
of distribution systems shall be performed so that
fixed and sliding points are planned with respect to at pipe branch
expected linear changes of the pipes.

Types of pipe fixing techniques

There are two kinds of supports in terms of pipe
fixing .
Fixed point closely fit set of two connectors bloc-
king a fastening clamps, restraining axis movements
of a pipe. It is designed for an adequate division
of an installation into sections subject to separate
elongations (thermal elongation is not transmitted
beyond a fixed point). The distance between fixed
points arises from the need to allow an adequate
pipe compensation. Besides fixed points fastening is
obligatory in the following cases:
At draw-off points
Before and after the fittings installed on a pipe
or additional utilities (filters, water meters,
settling tanks).
at the place of pipe fitting
Sliding point a fastening clamp designed for an-
choring the installation to the structural component
of a building and preventing the pipes against exces-
sive buckling. The distance between sliding points
depends on the temperature of a medium and the
outer diameter of a pipe. The list of maximum per-
missible distances for the pipes laid horizontally is
set forth in Table. The distances between sliding po-
ints in case of stabi pipes (with an aluminum insert)
are bigger.

ar expansion = 0.13-0.18 mm/mK (depending
on the temperature of the material). Consequently,
durning the mounting the system, pipe linear expan-
sion, resulting from the change of temperature sho-
uld be taken into account. The expansion of a pipe
section is calculated with the following formula:

L = x L x t

5.6 Installation in ducts

If it is necessary to divide the riser into several expansion sections then it can be achieved by placing fixed
points. The riser fixed points are always fixed under and over T-pieces at a branch pipe or socket which,
at the same time, prevents the riser to fall. The pipe expansion must accounted for between these fixed
points as follows:
In branching off feeder piping it is necessary to allow for the riser expansion by:

keeping a sufficient distance from the wall pass-through

point.

creating a possibility of branch pipe movement in the wall

pass through point.

creating a compensating length allowing for expansion at

the riser normal line.

Before fusion clean up the end of a pipe and a fitting
and mark the depth of the insertion of a pipe into a
fitting in accordance with the table.

3. Removing aluminium from stabi pipes.

In case of stabi pipes, prior to the fusion, remove
the outside layer of polypropylene and aluminium
with a stabi cutter. The depth of conditioning up to
the stop position determines depth of fusion during
the welding. After completing grinding check if a foil
has been fully removed.

4. Welding of elements.
When the heating temperature has reached the re-
quired 260C, push the fitter and the end of the pipe
on the welding ends by means of a sliding non-rota-
ry motion to the depth previously marked and heat
them according to the time specified in the table.

5. Joining.
Take a pipe and a fitting off the welding ends and
join them by pushing without turning, up to the
previously marked welding depth. During pushing
determine the mutual position of a pipe and a fit-
ting. Leave a joint still until it reaches the required
stability.

The full strength is attained after about 2 hours.

6.2 General requirements for welding

Only the same kind of material can be welded

together.

Pipes and fittings should be heated simultane-

ously and not more than once.

All operations during a welding process shall

be performed without turning a pipe against a
fitting and welding ends.

It should be taken into account that welding

time differs depending on elements diame-
ters.

Welding time for PN 10 pipes is shortened by

about half.

The recommended surrounding temperature

during welding shall be above 5C. In lower
temperature the welding time should be incre-
ased by 50% and the level of heating of the
welding ends should be constantly checked.
Welding below 0C should be avoided.

Double, even flash on the whole weld surface

indicates a good quality of a joint.

In case of stabi pipes it is essential to make

sure that an aluminum foil has been remo-
ved.

7. Insulation
While hot water piping systems and heating sys-
tems are insulated against heat losses, the cold
water ones are conversely insulated against heat
gains and pipe sweating. From the point of view of
drinking water health requirements, the insulation
of a cold water system is important to keep the tem-
perature level under 20 C as well as keeping hot
water at the upper limit (given by the standard of
protection against scalding) - both cases are concer-
ned with bacteria effect reduction. Keeping hot wa-
ter at the required temperature level together with
properly functioning circulation are important parts
of protection against bacteria (such as: Legionella
pneumophila) beside some other technical solutions
(such as thermal sterilisation).
The thickness and kind of insulation layers are de-
termined on the basis of thermal resistance of the
insulation system to be used, air humidity in the
area of the piping system and a difference between
the room temperature (air) and that one of flowing
water. The whole piping system, along its whole ro-
ute including fittings and valves, must be insulated,
It is necessary to maintain a minimum insulation
layer thickness along both pipe diameter and pipe-
line route (this means that insulation types that are
wrapped over the pipes as cut lengthwise must be,
after the installation, bonded again into a uniform
profile (e.g. using an adhesive, clamps or a sealing
tape).

Remark: the above thickness values must be re-cal-
culated for other thermal characteristics
If hot water is transferred then it should be taken
into consideration that plastic pipes posses better
thermal insulation properties than metal ones. An
application of plastic pipes in such systems may
therefore mean a significant cost-saving solution! In
systems of high demand (such as: bathrooms, bath-
tubs, washing machines, etc.) heat losses in plastic
pipes with flowing water are 20 % compared to me-
tal ones. Another 15 % can be saved by a thorough
insulation. In systems of small and/or short-time
demand where pipes are not heated to operating
temperatures regularly, only 10 % of savings can be
expected, however, 20 % can be expected at peak
demand.
The insulation layer thickness for hot water systems
usually fluctuates in the range of 9 through 15 mm
at the value of thermal resistance: A. = 0.040 W/
mK.

8. Service life of plastic
sanitary installations.
Service life depends on the intensity of plastic ma-
terial aging process under temperature. Permissi-
ble temperature is the one which does not cause
polymer degradation or destruction of a particular
structure.
In the case of low-temperature installations where
the temperature of heating water does not exceed
65C, plastic aging process goes so slowly that a
50-year service life of an installation may easily be
expected. It is tantamount to a service life of a buil-
ding before a complete refurbishment.
Temperature used in central heating has been re-
cently reduced from 95/70 to 80/60.
New central heating installations and also those mo-
dernized should be designed, if possiblein such a
way to allow operating temperature of heating wa-
ter, not higher than 70C. Keeping the temperature
at a certain level may be achieved by increasing the
surface of heaters in the premises.
Life service is determined experimentally by defi-
ning its survivability in the function of temperatu-
re and water pressure. Such testing is conducted in
water bathtubs in closed chambers or bathtubs allo-
wing to control pressure and temperature. The sam-
ples used in tests are having closed outlets. Stan-
dard tests take 1000 or 8000 hours, that is appro-
ximately 40 to 320 days. As a result of aging plastic
is losing its flexibility and becomes brittle and is also
losing its original mechanical properties.
First visible sign of aging may be:
change of color turning yellow, white or dull
possible occurrence of excessive conduit sag-
ging
likely appearance of pores and micro-cracks
on the surface of the pipe resulting in stress
corrosion
In extreme cases the pipe may suddenly break
(burst).
When the aging symptoms appear the installation
should be instantly evaluated and the samples te-
sted.

9. Storage, handling and

transportation

The system components must be protected

against ultraviolet radiation, weather and con-
tamination. UV radiation is damaging to po-
lypropylene. Long term exposure to sunlight
can degrade the operating properties of the
system. When the elements are stored in out-
doors area or installed unprotected on outdoor
wall surface, they must be taken to indoor sto-
rage or be covered with a suitable insulation

When stacked Plastic pipes must be supported

along their whole length or protected against
deflection in another suitable way.

Plastic pipe and fittings are usually stored in

sacks or on palettes or are freely loaded in bo-
xes, containers, baskets, etc. Maximum stora-
ge height of 1,2 m must be respected if plastic
pipes are kept in plastic sleeves and/or pipe
fittings in plastic sacks. Different types of pi-
pes and fittings are stored separately.

During handling it is not allowed to drag pi-

pes over the ground or a lorry deck. The pi-
pes must not be moved by throwing or letting
them fall off the lorry to the ground.

During transportation the pipes must be pro-

tected against mechanical damage and stored
on a suitable underlay where protected aga-
inst dirt, solvents, direct heat (contact with a
radiator, etc.).

The pipes are put into protective covers (pipes

in polyethylene bags, pipe fittings also in sacks
or cardboard boxes) and it is recommended to
let them stay in there as long as possible befo-
re the installation works start (as a protection
against dirt).

Pipes and fittings should be treated with spe-

cial caution at the temperature of 0C or lo-
wer.

10. Pressure test
Test procedure A
To use Procedure A to apply the hydrostatic test
pressure conduct the procedure as follows:
a) Open the venting system;
f) Visually check for leaks and if during the next
2 h, the pressure drops by more than 0,2 bar
this
g) indicates a leak within the system;
The test result should be recorded.aFor smaller sec-
tions of an installation the test Procedure B may be
reduced to only stages a) to e) and g).

b) Purge the system with water to expel all air

Testing for water tightness Test procedure A
that can be removed thereby. Stop the flow
and close the venting system;

c) Apply the selected hydrostatic test pressure

equal to 1,5 times the design pressure by pum-
ping according to Figure 12 during the first 30
min, during which time an inspection should be
carried out to identify any obvious leaks with
the system under test;

d) Reduce the pressure by rapidly bleeding water

from the system to 0,5 times design pressure
according to Figure 12;

e) Close the valve. The recovery of a constant

pressure, which is higher than 0,5 times the
design pressure, is indicative of a sound sys-
tem. Monitor the situation for 90 min. Vi-
sually check for leaks. If during that period
there is a drop in pressure, this indicates a leak
within the system;

f) The test result should be recorded.

Test procedure B
To use Procedure B to apply the hydrostatic test
pressure, conduct the procedure as follows:
a) Open the venting system;

b) Purge the system with water to expel all air

that can be removed thereby. Stop the flow
and close the venting system; Testing for water tightness Test procedure B
c) Apply the selected test pressure equal to 1,5 ti-
mes the design pressure by pumping according
to Figure 13 during the first 30 min;

d) Read the pressure when the first 30 min have

elapsed;

e) Read the pressure after another 30 min and vi-

sually check for leaks. If the pressure has drop-
ped by less than 0,6 bar conclude the system
has no obvious leakage and continue the test
without further pumping;
