Installation Guidelines
alpex / turatec pipes ...
Always comply with the product description, the manufacturers'
n
specifications and the technical parameters (available at manufacturer,
wholesalers, sales partners, etc.)
must be installed by an approved installer
n
Do not damage, twist or kink pipes during transport, uncoiling or
n
unreeling, and installation. Remove damaged areas and dents
Protect pipes from direct sunlight. We recommend that you remove
n
the pipes from packaging just before installation
Protect pipes from oil, grease, paint, solvents, etc.
n
Comply with the bending radii specified in the table
n
Use rubber-cushioned pipe clamps only to fasten pipes;
n
Do not use tying wire or punched tape
have to be fixed under consideration of the thermal expansion in
n
length as well as the mounting distances, if installed loosely
Connect pipes to straight pipe ends only
n
Avoid creating pipe-to-pipe intersections in building separation joints
n
are oxygen-impermeable and do not require additional corrosion
n
protection measures
Pressure and leak test pipes after completing laying and before com-
n
mencing plastering/screeding work, etc. Test medium: water: Plumbing
according to DIN EN 806-4 (min. 11bar) and heating according to DIN
18380 (approx. 4-6bar). Test medium: compressed air: according to
TR WI 1988 (leak test 150mbar; pressure test 3bar). See pressure test
report *
Protect water-filled pipes from frost or take suitable measures (e.g.
n
heating, purging the system with compressed air or similar)
are suitable for use with hot rolled asphalt surfacing if appropriate
n
protective measures are taken. (rock wool of min. 20mm and suitable
for cast asphalt should be installed above, sealing the pipes complete-
ly)
are resistant to concrete, plaster, mortar, cement, disinfectants and
n
detergents according to DVGW Worksheet W 291 and DIN 2000 and to
all natural drinking water ingredients according to DIN 2000
Use alpex fittings for connection with pipes. Use suitable coating to
n
protect the fittings against corrosion from direct contact with screed,
concrete or corrosionpromoting substances (e.g. ammoniated or chlo-
rinated air)
Install fittings so that they fulfill the requirements of DIN 4109 – sound
n
insulation in buildings!
must be insulated according to the requirements of DIN 1988 /
n
DIN EN 806 and the latest EnEV, see alpex technical information!
