Geberit HDPE jointing methods
Overview
The many Geberit
jointing methods
offer solutions
for all situations.
Butt weld
Electroweld sleeve
coupling
Flange joint
Linear expansion
socket
Ring-seal socket
Contraction sleeve
Screw-threaded joint
Coupling for PE-Silent
and adaptor only
These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to the way in
which they are assembled as follows:
a) To be opened
Jointing methods which can be disconnected after assembly.
b) Not to be opened
Jointing methods which cannot be disconnected after assembly.
c) Tension-resistant
Connections which withstand tensional forces.
d) Non-tension-resistant
Connections which cannot withstand tensional forces.

Butt welding
All diameters from Ø 40 to 315 mm can be welded.
Connection properties
b) not to be opened
c) tension-resistant
Use
Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous benefits of prefabrication; HDPE needs no other component in order to be welded.
It can be used in all circumstances where prefabrication is used on site or in the
workshop.
The essential conditions for a perfect weld are:
A simple and reliable connection
• Cleanliness of the welding plate and the parts which are to be welded.
• A correct welding plate temperature.
• The correct pressure for jointing the parts.
• The parts to be welded must be cut square <) 90°.
Butt welding takes up little space. The edge of the weld does not obstruct the
pipe, leaving its internal cross-section virtually unchanged. Even quite complicated distribution parts can be assembled in a small space, without wastage of
material, because lengths of pipe or elbow sections can be easily reused
through butt welding.
Allowance for butt welds
Indicative values
of operating pressure
The allowance for butt welds is approx. as big as the wall thickness of the pipe.

Electroweld sleeve coupling
Available from Ø 40 to 315 mm.
Connection properties
b) not to be opened
c) tension-resistant
Use
On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outside
diameter
provides a great advantage.
A short, simple and reliable
connection
Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The joint
obtained is simple, quick and reliable.
The heating and melting zone is divided into two fields, as there are no electrical
resistances in the centre of the sleeve. This provides a very satisfactory safety
factor.
60
Ø 40 – 160
150
Also the ends of the pipes are not heated, the zones remain effectively cold,
and provide
further reinforcement, thus cancelling out shrinkage of the pipe.
The pressure required for welding is obtained from the shrinking effect of the
sleeve when it is heated, and is evenly distributed over the entire weld. This
shrinkage has a compensating effect on pipe diameter measurement tolerances.
The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been made
they are
entirely covered by PE.
The use of original Geberit equipement, especially tempered Geberit HDPE
pipes, are
recommended for correct welding.
Ø 200 – 315
Electrical sleeves can be made to slide by removing the central stop ring, thus
making system conversion and repair work easier.
Electroweld sleeve coupling ø 40 - 160 mm
The stop ring can easily be removed with a screwdriver.
10
Ring-seal socket joint
Available from Ø 40 to 160 mm.
Connection properties
a) to be opened
d) non-tension-resistant
Use
Ring-seal socket joints can be used to provide a connection between various prefabricated parts for simpler assembly.
Assembly
May be used either vertically or horizontally. The small overall dimensions provide an
advantage where space is limited. Can easily be assembled or released even where
access is difficult.
Protection cap
Ring-seal sockets are provided with a yellow protection cap to prevent the ingress of
debris during installation.
Assembly instructions are the same for both ring-seal sockets and screw-threaded
joints, the sleeve lengths are the same for corresponding diameters. The effective
sleeve length, i. e. the measurement – X – from the O-ring to the base of the socket
governs the maximum length of pipe which can be connected by individual joints.
For HDPE approximately 15 mm of spigot should be allowed for every 1 m of pipe.
The pipe must be fully inserted into the socket, because the socket does not act as an
expander. Owing to the pipe thickness and the low thermal conductivity of HDPE, the
socket seal has very satisfactory resistance to heat and no shrinkage of the O-ring
occurs.
The O-ring has a round seat regardless of pipe movements. The O-ring remains fixed in
the seat and is always in contact with the pipe.
x
Length «X» varies with the diameter
Ideal fitting is obtained by chamfering the pipe
end to approximately 15°, lubricating it with
soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. Do not use
mineral oil or grease which can damage the
rubber seal.

Screw-threaded joint
Screw-threaded joint
without flange bushing
Available from Ø 40 to 110 mm.
Connection properties
a) to be opened
d) non-tension-resistant
Use
Screw-threaded joints are used for assembly of various prefabricated parts
when it is necessary to easily dismantle and also as the connection to sink
traps and shower trays.
The seal is pressed against the thread.

Use
Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screw-threaded joint by axial tensile forces a flange bushing must be used to ensure that
the connection will resist these forces. It is also recommended that a screwthreaded joint with flange bushing should be used when installing in floors or
slabs, where the length of pipe between two connections (elbows, branches or
sleeves) is longer than 2 metres.

Expansion socket
Available from Ø 40 to 315 mm.
Connection properties
b) not to be opened
d) non-tension-resistant
Use
An expansion socket is recommended between anchor brackets, particularly on
installations assembled with rigid joints and where excessive thermal movement
is anticipated.
At least one expansion joint must be provided on vertical stacks running from
floor to floor, long collector pipelines and before connecting to the buried drain
pipework.
Different conditions apply for underground installations. For this application field
see page 49.
Installation
Can be used either vertically or horizontally. One advantage is the depth of the
sleeve which makes the assembly of downpipes and mains easier, allowing
both vertical and horizontal corrections (e.g. in level, and in the precise positioning of the direction of branches and elbows).
A firm anchor bracket must always be located behind the expansion socket to
avoid any movement of the socket in the event of expansion or contraction.
The special shape of the seal allows the pipe to slide within the socket during
expansion and contraction, ensuring that the connection remains perfectly
watertight even under heavy hydraulic load.
Horizontal assembly (e.g. at 20°C)
The following conditions are important to ensure perfect and easy assembly of
the sleeve:
1. Chamfering the inserted pipe end to approximate <) 15°.
Example: Insertion depth in an ambient
temperature of 20°C
(Vertical assembly).
2. Check the scale on the outer surface of the expansion socket for insertion
depth.
3. Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe.
4. Lubricate the pipe end well with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline.
N.B. Do not use oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal.
For more information see pages 22, 28, 44 and 49.
A special expansion socket with stainless steel protection for the rubber seal
can be used for heavy duty industrial and laboratory applications.
13
Flanged joint
Available from ∅ 50 to 315 mm.
Connection properties
a) to be opened
c) tension-resistant
Use
Flanges are normally used as disconnectable joints for low pressure installations
(industrial plant, pump connection, tanks and swimming pools).
The flange connection system offers easy connection to existing iron and steel
installations.
As inspection access opening made by using a blind flange.
Flanges are sintered, i.e. they are coated with polyethylene, and have standard
dimensions (PN 3.2 – PN 10).

Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve
Available from Ø 50 to 160 mm
Connection properties
b) rigid, non-removable
d) non-tension-resistant
Use
The Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve is a convenient connection possibility for
most uneven, irregular or special materials.
A common additional application method is also the connection from HDPE to
different clay ware apparatus, e. g. for Laboratory sinks.
Installation
The enclosed rubber ring will be placed over the pipe end. Make sure that the
rubber ring will be placed in the middle of the sleeve length (h2). Then push the
contraction sleeve over the pipe end. Apply low heat (approx. 125°C) evenly
around the socket, moving the blow lamp constantly.
The sleeve will now shrink and give an absolute watertight and strong
connection. Afterwards fix the contraction sleeve pipe with an anchor bracket.

Geberit HDPE adapter clamp
Available from Ø 48 to 326 mm.
Connection properties
a) to be opened
d) non tension resistant
Use
The adapter clamps have multiple functions and can consequently be used as
adapters to thirdparty materials as well as any other types of connection.
Installation
It is necessary to insert an appropriate reinforcement ring into the ends of the
HDPE-pipe first when these clamps are used as adapters to HDPE-pipes or
for HDPE-pipe connections.
Important:
If the joint from HDPE to steel –
cast iron or earthenware – is
made with a coupling, it has to
be secured by an anchor
bracket.
Install the anchor bracket
as close as possible to the
coupling.

Embedded fixed points
Principal: Any variation in length must be prevented by embedded
fixed points in concrete (e. g. electroweld sleeve couplings,
branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provision
of corresponding fixed point structures.
B
Embedding in concrete
Basically Geberit HDPE material absorbs within itself thermal movement due to
its high elasticity.
However, in the case of large diameters (e.g. 315 mm) the forces «P» (resulting
from expansion and contraction) are considerable. They must be absorbed
by the embedded fixpoints alone, since cement/concrete will not adhere to
HDPE pipework.
Since the fitting has to act as a
fixpoint, do not insulate it.
Branch equal
Branch equal with
reducer
Reduced small branches of large
pipe diameters must be secured
by an additional anchor point
(electroweld sleeve couplings or
collar bushes) to prevent shearing
off of the branch.
Under no circumstances
should a ring seal or expansion
socket be embedded in concrete.
32
HDPE encased in concrete
Geberit HDPE pipes and fittings have been cast in concrete
extensively throughout the world over the past 40 years.
Polyethylene as a raw material has the advantage of
accommodating thermal expansion and contraction within the
molecular structure due to its very high elasticity
characteristics. The Geberit raw material is water rejectant and
will not swell even when stored in water for very long periods.
The following information explains in detail the installation
process as required by the relevant Standards.
Note:
AS/NZS 3500.2:2003 specifies:
Clause 9.4.3
High density polyethylene (HDPE) ...
(iii) when fully encased in concrete structures, subject to the approval of a structural engineer, pipes and fittings
shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Note:
AS/NZS 2033:2008 specifies:
Clause 5.3.6
Encasement in concrete
Where pipes are to be encased in concrete precautions shall be taken to prevent movement, flotation or
deformation of pipes while pouring concrete.
Setting of Geberit HDPE pipes in concrete
All rigidly jointed pipework (e.g. butt and electrofusion welded) may be completely enclosed in concrete within
the building structure without a protection layer (e.g. lagging). The installation and the structure have to be
designed for such total enclosure. The thrust forces generated from the expansion and contraction of the
pipework have to be taken into consideration with this installation method (see Geberit Application Technique
page 31). The manufacturer’s and engineer’s recommendations shall be strictly followed in such applications.
Note:
Refer also to AS/NZS3500.2

Underground drainage pipes for housing
Underground
drainage pipes of Geberit HDPE
Not only has Geberit HDPE proven
itself excellently for many years for
drainage systems inside of buildings
such as:
– soil and waste stacks
– vent pipes
– connection and branch pipes
– collector pipes
but it is also suitable for underground applications as:
– ground pipes
– domestic drainage pipes
Criteria for underground
drainage pipes
1. Tightness
Environmental protection regulations
do not permit leaking drainage
pipes.
Geberit HDPE is a reliable water
drainage system which assures
maximum dependability with regard
to tightness.
2. Resistance to chemicals
Geberit HDPE provides the assurance of universal resistance
to the greatly diversified types of
chemical attack by the disposal
water, as well as by external factors
(acidic soils).
applications. In addition to the
attack from the inside, the pipes
are also subjected to attacks from
outside. Geberit HDPE excellently
stands up to all these requirements.
3. Flexibility
Geberit HDPE is a flexible, operationally reliable drainage system, even
in soils in which a certain degree
of settling of ground must be anticipated.
4
2
4. Resistance to frost
Geberit HDPE has proven itself
excellently for many years in frost
endangered soils such as in
Scandinavia. It can be used in temperatures ranging down to –40°.
5. Material
As in domestic drainage systems,
the quality of the material is the
main criterion for underground
3
1
1 Ground acids
2 Stray currents
3 Disposal water (with chemical
and thermal attack)
4 No enter of roots
6. Friendly to the environment
The Geberit HDPE drainage systems
comply with environmental regulations.

Trench profiles
For all trenching work, local guidelines, standards and regulations must be observed.
Important for underground installation
is correct laying of the pipe in the
trench, as well as careful consolidation.

Guidelines for laying drainage pipes
For all trenching work, local guidelines, standards and regulations must be observed.
B
1
Trench
The trench is to be dug
as narrow as possible –
but not narrower than the
pipe diameter + 40 cm.
The floor of the trench
must be level and free
from rocks and loose
clumps. Correct elevation
and slope are also important.
2
C
U
B = Bedding
Under normal soil conditions the trench is provided with a bedding layer
of round gravel (grading
up to 30 mm) or of broken material (grading up
to 10 mm) of a thickness
of approx. 100 mm. The
bedding layer must be
compacted and tamped.
In certain cases it will be
neccessary to reinforce
the ground.
3
U = Underpinning
After the pipe has been
laid, recesses are to be
provided for sockets and
flanges so that the pipe is
supported along its entire
length. The underpinning is
to be done with a tamping
post or the like. It must be
done very carefully. If several pipes are laid, make
sure that the lowest one is
fully covered before the
one above is placed. The
pipe must lay flat, and it
must be installed with the
correct slope.
4
C = Consolidation layer
The material is to be filled
in layers of approx. 100
mm thickness. Tamping
can be done by stamping
with the feet, or with a
special tool. The purpose
of this material is to help
prevent the pipe from
deforming, so that it must
be compacted well on
both sides at the same
time .

P = Protective layer
Now fill in a layer of the
same material (must not
contain rocks which
could cause point loading
of the pipe) of at least
300 cm.
Attention: To prevent the
pipe from rising the
trench is to be finish-filled
on the same day up to
and including the protection layer.
6
HS = Safety margin
height
For the further filling the
available material is to be
used. The trench must not
contain rocks which cannot be lifted by hand.
As soon as permitted by
the safety margin height,
this compacting can be
done by machine. The
regulations and byelaws
on the refilling of trenches
are to be observed.
2
Distribution of
ground pressure
The ground pressure
and ground load
distribution are governed essentially by the
compaction. For calculation the appropriate
standards and the local
building and safety
regulations are to be
observed.
47
Inground rigid installation
Rigid fixation
The rigid fixings must be stronger
than the possible expansion or
contraction forces of the HDPE
pipe.
Geberit pipes can be installed
rigidly with relatively low effort, for
which the following elements are
required:
1
3
48
1 Concrete mound as an anchor
point
2 Electroweld sleeve coupling
3 HDPE pipe
Inground installation of
Geberit expansion sockets
In addition to the butt-welded and
electrically welded connection,
the expansion socket is an ideal
connection in inground drainage
systems. Since in such systems
lower temperature differences are
usually encountered than in stacks
and connector pipes, smaller length
variations can be accounted for.
PL (pipe length)
ID (insertion depth)
d
SL (socket length)
Therefore, in inground installations,
the distance between expansion
sockets can be longer.
The values are calculated according to the formula

49
Pipes penetrating through building walls
With regard to the ground line
between the building wall and the
street sewer, where extreme
settling can occur, an installation
mat must be wrapped around the
ground line to act as a deflection leg.
In such cases Geberit HDPE is
an ideal material, since it assures
tightness and at the same time
provides maximum flexibility.
Deflection leg
The length of the deflection leg is
dependent upon the expected
settling and on the pipe diameter.

Connection to manhole
Plastic pipes should only be
connected with manholes by
means
of a special manhole sleeve.
Since settling of ground has to be
expected such a sleeve must have
the same ideal characteristics as
Geberit HDPE: it must assure
tightness and at the same time flexibility.

A rubber ring provides the flexible
seal between sleeve and plastic
pipe.

Ball Junctions
The Geberit ball junctions allow designers and plumbers the opportunity to create compact installations. The increased
diameter of the intersection area provides for a smoother and less critical side entry of the waste water into the stack. In
particular, installations where the branch lines have the same diameter as the stack.
Connections directly opposite, (180°) should be avoided where possible. However such installations must be carried out
only in accordance with the guidelines items 2 and following below. A better way of connecting is by using the offset ball
junctions. Geberit ball junctions are designed for the application in stacks only and should not be used as back to back
toilet connectors nor should any stack be connected to a side entry.
1.
The offset ball junction is generally the best
way of connecting different types of fixtures to
the stack. Fixtures of different types, unequal
fixture unit rating and different diameters should
only be connected on the opposite side of a ball
junction at an entry angle of not more than
135°.

Connections directly opposite (180°) on a ball

fixtures of the same kind or with the same
fixture unit rating and same pipe diameter (eg.
soil fixture opposed soil fixture, waste fixture

2a.
It is essential to observe the arrangement of

Refer to item 6., figures 1, 2, 3 and

3.
Any fixture trap connected to a ball junction
should have a minimum height difference of
the inside diameter (DI) of the connecting pipe.
This is measured from the lowest point where
the pipe is joined onto the stack to the water
seal of the fixture trap. See 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, for
examples.
3a.
This can be achieved via a step up in the pipe
work with appropriate fittings before the fixture
trap (see drawing opposite).

Low pressure installation
Low pressure application
Generally the Geberit HDPE product range is designed for water drainage
systems.
For the low pressure range, e. g. swimming pool, pipework through circulation
pumps, Geberit has established maximum admissible stressing values for an
endurance life of 10 years.
Pressure
max. 1,5 bar
Temperature
max. 30°C
All connections must be butt weld joints, electroweld sleeve
couplings or flange joints.
Suitable fitting range for low pressure application see page 4.
Longterm
rupture strength 10 years
The Geberit HDPE range of products can also be used for the discharge
pipeline of a pump set, provided that the mechanical stress is low, only of short
time and no thermal loaded medium (e.g. warm water) is pumped.

4. Long horizontal collector pipes have to be vented. The minimal inner
diameter of the vent pipe must be 57 mm or 2 dimensions smaller than
the discharge pipe.
The ventilation pipe must be higher than the total delivery head of the
pump and must go above the roof.

Internal negative pressures
Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand internal negative pressure according to the
table above depending on the pipe diameter.
Geberit HDPE pipes are sometimes used as suction pipelines for pumpsets.
The higher the suction lift is, the higher the negative pressure inside the pipeline.
Important with such an installation is that the foot valve and strainer are not
blocked.
Foot valve and strainer of the suction pipeline should be kept free from debris,
possible blockage could lead to additional pressure increase.

In contrast with injection, moulded
specimens are free from flow
orientations. This strongly influences
the test result.
Measurement with moulded bars is
therefore preferred.

Ecological properties of Geberit HDPE
Polyethylene (PE) is a simple compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms,
harmless to man, animals and plants.
PE environmental loads relate to the fields of manufacture and disposal.
In addition to the raw material crude oil, energy is used for the preparation
of the plastic granulate and in the manufacture of the products.
PE is the perfect material for drainage systems from an ecological point of view.
It has a long life span, no toxic gases rises from incineration (e. g. hydrochloric
acid HCL from PVC) during disposal. It consumes much smaller quantities
of energy during fabrication process and transport than steel, cast iron or copper pipes.

Comments on the individual properties
Geberit High Density Polyethylene HDPE: Density 951 – 955 kg/m3
The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 – 960 kg/m3. The Geberit type
at up to 955 kg/m3, is of the hard quality and has increased durability properties.
HDPE is lighter than water, which is beneficial particularly with regard to transportation
and installation.
Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG)
The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (shortening of dimensions) after
heat load in the plastic pipe, is to take preventative measures during manufacture.
Geberit HDPE pipes are therefore stored in hot water baths after manufacture.
This process increases the safety of the joints, as there is no chance of joints pulling
apart later due to shortening of length.
Resistance to cold
When Geberit HDPE parts are filled with water and then freeze, they stretch elastically
as the ice expands. Once the ice melts, they resume their original shape, remaining
completely intact and undamaged.
Flexibility
The flexibility of the piping material can be the main criterion in certain buildings or on
bridges, especially when pipes have to pass through expansion joints or are in
buildings, which are subject to traffic vibration.
Melt-flow index 0,4 – 0,5 g/10 min.
This describes the working properties of the pipe and at the same time gives
information on the molecular weight, which is crucial for a number of raw material
properties. The smaller the melt-flow index, the higher the molecular weight and thus
the pipe’s resistance to stress corrosion.
Heat conductivity 0,43 W/m · K
HDPE is a bad heat conductor; for this reason the pipe does not become completely
warmed through when heat loaded for a short period. Heat loss is about 90% less,
for instance, than a similar copper pipe.
60
Comments on the individual properties
Resistance to radioactive effluents
There is no risk of damage as a result of slightly radioactive water. However, please
ask the manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.
Resistance to abrasion
Drainage systems are increasingly becoming hidden refuse chutes. A pipe’s resistance
to abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch pipes, soil stacks and ground
pipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer additional
protection.
Heat expansion 0,17 mm/m · K
Heat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50°C increase
in temperature, an expansion of 10 mm of linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.
Resistance to hot water
Geberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe with no mechanical load, up to 80°C.
Temperatures of up to 100°C for short periods (e.g. surges of steam) are permissible.
Resistance to impact
Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very
high even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. –40°C) and thus meets the
requirements for outlet pipes.
Condensate
Geberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during short
periods of undercooling.
61
Comments on the individual properties
Behaviour in fire
Plastics are inflammable. However, the classification of plastics according to the usual
fire test for construction materials does not permit a valid statement on the behaviour
of plastic construction parts in the event of a fire.
Non-conductive
Plastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry.
HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.
Sealing material
Although the chemical resistance of the seal does not equal that of HDPE, there is no
risk of the seal being destroyed, because the rubber ring is installed under compression on all sides and therefore cannot swell. In addition, the wetting factor of the
rubber ring in the joint is very low. Many years of experience have shown that the
sealing material can endure even the harshest conditions.
NB: Such conditions do not occur in drainage pipes.
Free halogens (chlorine, bromine etc.) cause halogenised polyethylene and hydrogen
halide to form at room temperature. The halogenised polyethylene has different
physical and chemical properties from the original hydrocarbon, but the polymer is not
destroyed. Geberit HDPE should therefore not be used at all in areas where free
halogens are produced or used. The only criteria to be observed here are the purpose
for which the pipe is intended and the concentration of halogens.
Solar radiation
Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UV
rays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.
Noise
HDPE is a soft material with a low E-modulus. HDPE limits solid-borne conduction,
but airborne noise should be insulated. This can be done by means of the duct wall,
HDPE Silent or Geberit Isol.
Chemical resistance
Because of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals.
Its resistance can be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in all
inorganic and organic solutions at 20°C. Geberit HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic and
aromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at over 90°C. The material will be
attacked by heavily oxidized media (conc. HN03, conc. H2 S04) when exposed over
long periods at room temperature.
62
Comments on the individual properties
Tightness
Many years of experience with welding HDPE-Pipes, have shown that the butt welds
do not give any problems as the welding parts are circular on the inside and do not
add to the normal risk of blocking.
Protection against blockages
HDPE’s water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard.
– Rapid outflow of water
– Prevention of deposits
Welding temperature
Thermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperatures
required are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature for
HDPE is approximately 230°C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.
Non-toxic
Plastics are well suited for use in the food industry as packaging material, containers,
bottles etc. Geberit HDPE pipes are used for milk transportation lines in mountain
areas and in the food canning and packing industry.
Scope of use
Geberit HDPE pipes are designed for drainage systems. Their use in low-pressure
areas (swimming pools, transportation lines etc.) is subject to a maximum pressure
load of 15 m Water Column (1,5 bar) and a temperature of 30°C (10 years).
There is also a certain range of moulded fittings.
Painting
Geberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibility of the material both have a negative impact on paint. If painting is unavoidable, the
paint product to be used should be tested for compatibility with the HDPE.

As a result of manufacturing, the molecule chains are stretched and than
cooled down from about 230°C to 40°C. This enormous drop in
temperature results in tensile stresses which are «frozen in» by the cooling
down process.
Stretched molecules after
manufacturing
(non tempered pipes)
When hot water flows through a streched pipe or the pipe is heated up
by doing a welding joint, e.g. with an electroweld sleeve coupling, the
expanded molecules relax and return to their normal state. The pipe
becomes shorter.
Without tempering, shortening of dimensions can create gaps between pipe
and fitting, pipes can be pulled apart
high risk of leakage!
64
The importance of tempering
Effects of annealing of Geberit HDPE
pipes
The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat shortening of dimensions after
heat load in the plastic pipe is to take preventative measures (Tempering)
during manufacture. Geberit pipes are therefore stored in a hot water bath
after manufacture, this allows the expanded molecules to relax and return to
their normal state = No stresses on Geberit pipes.
Molecules after Geberit annealing
process
(all Geberit HDPE pipes)
Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress on joints and
fixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements for
electroweld sleeve couplings can be met.
Length = 5000 mm
After manufacture
Admitted shortening according to standards 150 mm
Max. admitted shortening according to Geberit licence 50 mm
65
The significance of the pH value
One of the most crucial factors in selecting a material for a drainage installation
is the chemical loading of the effluent being discharged.
Effluent with a low or a high pH is harmful because of its corrosive effects.
E. g. some drain cleaning fluids have a pH value of up to 12.
Therefore in order to select the most suitable material to handle a specific
discharge it is important not only to know the pH value of the effluent but the
chemical resistance of the pipe materials.
(see Chemical Resistance tables on pages 67 to 76 to assess the performance
of Geberit HDPE at various temperatures)
The pH value is therefore important in assessing the chemical level as it will
indicate whether the effluent is acid, neutral or alkaline. The pH scale ranges
from 0 to 14 (see table below). PH valve 7

Explanation
When the pipe wall material comes into contact with substances flowing through the pipe, different processes can take
place, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), the extraction
of soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or chemical reactions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which can sometimes cause
the properties of the pipes or pipeline parts to change.
The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contact
with effluent substances can be classed as follows:
Resistant
The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being suitable
Limited resistance
The suitability of the pipe wall material must be checked in
each individual case; if necessary, further tests should be
carried out.
Not resistant
The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being
unsuitable.

Geberit named in top 10 most sustainable companies globally.
Geberit is a proven international leader in the area of sustainability. Having recently been named among the top 10 most
sustainable companies in the world from a study conducted by media company, Corporate Knights, further “supports
and validates Geberit’s continuing commitment to be environmentally responsible in everything we do,” said Managing
Director of Geberit Australia. Saving water, resource efficiency and sustainable construction are core areas of concern
for the Geberit organisation both globally and locally. A key focus for Geberit Australia is to continually update, integrate
and effectively implement a sustainable strategy that will make a positive impact today and tomorrow.
Geberit believes that sustainability must be lived in all company sectors. Geberit aims to be a role model to and set
standards for partners, customers and suppliers. This includes safe, environmentally friendly and resource efficient
production with an increasing proportion of renewable energies, procurement and logistics with high environmental and
ethical standards ensuring that the entire manufacturing process of all products comply with the highest standards in
environmental protection, social responsibility and ethical action.
Sustainability means satisfying the needs of today’s generation in a manner that will ensure a solid basis for the
livelihoods of future generations. To assist in achieving this, Geberit provides 100% recyclable HDPE Polyethylene (PE) is
a simple compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms, harmless to man, animals and plants. PE is the perfect ecological
solution as it has a long life span and does not excrete toxic gases during incineration during disposal and consumes
much smaller quantities of energy. All Geberit manufacturing sites are compliant to the latest ISO standard (ISO 9001 &
