What is the material?

The material is Polypropylene random copolymer usually written as PP-R of MFI 190/5
high molecular weight, which was developed specially as a material for hot 0.5 G/10 MIN
water pipes. Polypropylene is one of the five thermoplastic materials together
with Polyvinyl-Chloride, low density Polyethylene, high density Polyethylene,
Polystyrene. PP-R has made its name in hot water systems and heating
pipelines.
Why PP-R? MELTING

PP-R is a modified copolymer with greater resistance to impact. The lower RANGE
crystalline structure prevents the forming of hair cracks in the internal surface 140°C - 150°C
of the pipe. Moreover, PP-R is not subjected to any restrictions for use with
foodstuffs, so it may be used for applications involving edible substances. PP-R is
characterized by its outstanding chemical resistance, high thermal resistance and
good fatigue strength. PP-R is of high molecular weight and is stabilized to high
temperature, it corresponds to KTW - recommendation of the German Board of
Health. E - MODULE

USING WELDING DEVICE & TOOLS
• Only use original MetiTherm welding devices and welding tools to ensure proper fusion of pipes and fittings.
• Plug in and switch on welding device. At this point, both thermostat and control lamps will light up. Adjust the
thermostat to the correct fusion temperature at 260 °C. The thermostat lamp goes off when the temperature
reaches the set temperature.
Depending on the ambient temperature, the heating-up process should take between 5 to 25 minutes. Allow a
few more minutes in extreme cold cases.
Note that DVS-Welding Guidelines state that the temperature of the welding device has to be checked at its
application area before starting the welding process or whenever a new tool is to be changed.
• Use an Allen Key© to tighten up the tools. Do not use pliers or any other tools for this job. This can scratch or
damage the stick-free coating on the device and insert.
• After finishing the welding process and the device has been switched off, wait until it has cooled down before
reusing or storing it away.
• Always keep the device in a dry and clean place. The device may be only used when completely dry.
• To avoid shock hazards, never use a device that has been exposed to water or other fluids or in rain. Moreover,
never clean the device with water or handle the device with wet hands.
• Never use water to cool down the device temperature, even after it has been unplugged. This could damage the
thermostat.
• It is necessary to maintain the device clean at all times, especially in the locations where the threaded inserts
(tools) are mounted. Failure to do so may result in improper contact between the inserts and device, and a
resulting inefficient heating of the inserts and inadequate welding thereof. Cleaning should be done with a

INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
Water service lines are connections that lead from the water mains to the building plumbing network.
The service line consists of all pipes, valves, and fittings between the main water cabinet through the
meter, and ending at the individual outlets or endpoints.
DIN 1988 Parts l & 3 apply to drinking water supply systems inside buildings and their networks. It
specifies requirements for design, installation, operation and maintenance of such systems in addition to
alterations to these systems. It also gives particular attention to materials, components and appliances
installed to supply a building with potable water. Designers and installers should make sure that only
such required equipment and appliances are installed ensuring proper economic and technically qualified
functioning of the system is maintained.
When installation is executed, MetiTherm instructions should be strictly followed. Additionally, the following must
be readily available:
• A building site plan; engineering drawing of each floor including cellars (plan view), with simplified pipe work
diagram and sectional drawings;
• Pipe sizing calculation in accordance with DIN 1988 part 3;
• A detailed pipe network diagram showing lengths of pipe runs, pipe nominal sizes, bore diameters, material,
draw-off points (type, number and sizes or bore diameter), minimum flow pressure required, and the fitting
group as defined in the of DIN 4109 series of standards, where necessary.
* Reference temperature for creep rupture strength: 20 ºc.

INSTALLATION
PIPE-JOINTS WITH THREADED FITTINGS
MetiTherm Pipe-joint assemblies are designed to resist axial tension when properly supported. If such joints occur
in buried pipe work, properly sized supports should be located at bends and branches to counter the hydraulic
forces acting on these joints. Care should be taken to ensure that the designed system has unobstructed flow

SLIDING & FIXED POINT FASTENING METHODS

The right selection of one of these two methods of mounting, results in a satisfactory installation.
MetiTherm provides a full range of clamps to be used to support the pipes in the installation of the network.
The appropriate clamp should be chosen according to the installed pipe diameter. It is worthy to note that
MetiTherm clamps are manufactured with a safety rubber coating especially made to ensure that pipe surfaces are
TAPS IN METITHERM PIPE INSTALLATION not damaged during installation. The rubber coating also provides the desired guiding & holding in the installations.
Taps in MetiTherm hot and cold potable water pipes are arranged either next to, or above one another. The hot
water tap should be located left of or above the cold water tap. Hot water taps must be clearly identified. If a color Sliding points are used to allow axial movement of a pipe where required. While locating a sliding clamp, free

that fittings are at a sufficient distance from the sliding point clamps, else these will then act as fixed points.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF PIPE Fixed points in pipe line installations are those points that restrict the pipe in its undesired axial movement.
The free lengths from the fixed points are measured so as to calculate the possible linear expansion, as well as
WORK INSIDE BUILDINGS absorbing possible additional loads.
• No pipe should be secured to another pipe or used as a support for other pipes.
• The arrangement of pipes should facilitate their identification. Mounting plates should be used where required. In the execution of fixed points in the pipeline installation, the following should be noted:
• Pipes should be laid so as to prevent the formation of air locks. Where pipes are likely to suffer from frost • While using threaded rods or threaded screws, the drop from the ceiling should be as short as possible.

FREE PIPE LENGTH DEFINITION
The free pipe length is the length of pipe between two points at which the pipe is secured or clamped in a fixed
manner.
METITHERM PIPE BRACKET & CLAMPS

MetiTherm pipe brackets are designed to secure pipes directly to the structure and are not designed to be used for
fixing components other than pipes. MetiTherm recommended pipe bracket spacing is given in the following table
according to DIN 1988 part 2. These standards are also applicable for vertically laid pipes.
RECOMMENDED SPACING OF PIPE BRACKETS
FP= fixed points

GB= clamp permitting axial movement
L= length of pipe
LS= length of flexing leg LINEAR EXPANSION
Linear expansion of pipes is directly proportional to the heat subjected to the pipe material. Hence, cold water pipes
have practically no linear expansion and could be neglected in the installation design. On the other hand, expansion
of pipes is significant in warm water and heating installations and in extreme temperature varying environments,
and therefore needs to be considered.
FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF LINEAR EXPANSION

The linear expansion ∆L is calculated according to following formula:
∆L = – · L · ∆T
Where:
∆L Expanded length (mm)
Coefficient of linear expansion (mm/mK)
L Length of segment in calculation (mm)
∆T Temperature difference between working and installation

INSTALLATION
LINEAR EXPANSION CALCULATION EXAMPLE:
Assuming you need to calculate the expansion (∆L) of a standard MetiTherm pipe segment (L) of 1 .6 meters at a
maximum working temperature of 70°C. You know that the MetiTherm standard pipe has a coefficient of linear
expansion of (a =0.15). You know that the installation was executed at the typical ambient temperature of 25°C.
∆L = – · L · ∆T or ∆L = 0.15 * 1 .6 * (70°C - 25°C} = 10.8 mm
That means you can expect a linear expansion of 10.8 mm for this segment of pipe if the temperature difference is
respected.
Alternatively, you can quickly obtain the result from the following table for different types of pipes:

INSTALLATION
In the case of using standard pipes in utility ducts, there should be enough

the riser. The following figures show three cases whereby the first

Diameter Pipe line
For linear expansion calculations, it is necessary to distinguish between the following types of installations:
• Exposed installations
• Installations in ducts
• Concealed installations
If MetiTherm pipes are installed in an open and visible manner (exposed installations), consideration should be
made to the aesthetic aspects since any expansion will cause undesirable deformations. Stabi composite pipes
should be chosen to maximize dimensional stability and reduce linear expansion, because of their relatively low
coefficient of expansion.
On the other hand, linear expansion has to be taken into account while installing branch off points in utility ducts

HIDDEN INSTALLATIONS
Hidden installations are those installations that are concealed behind walls, or floors and are not visible to the
eye. Linear expansion of MetiTherm pipes seldom need to be taken into consideration when dealing with hidden
installations. Usually, if the expansion amount forces or stresses a part of the network against a wall or a floor
topping, the piping material will absorb the associated stresses when clamped appropriately. Therefore, there is
usually no need to account for this expansion, since deformation is not visible.

BENDING KNEES
In most cases direction changes can be used to compensate for linear expansion in pipes. The following example
depicts the calculation of the length of a bending knee.
BENDING KNEE CALCULATION EXAMPLE:
Assuming you need to calculate the bending knee length for a MetiTherm pipe corner. Assuming the (∆L) of
a standard MetiTherm pipe segment (L) of 3.2 meters of a diameter of 25 mm, and at a maximum working
temperature of 60°C. You know that the MetiTherm standard pipe has a coefficient of linear expansion of (
=0.15). You know that the installation was executed at the typical ambient temperature of 20°C.
BENDING
KNEE 1. First calculate the amount of expansion in the main pipe length:
∆L= · L · ∆T or ∆L = 0.15 * 3.2 * (60°C - 20°C) = 19.2 mm
That means you can expect a linear expansion of 19.2 mm for this segment of pipe if the temperature difference is
respected.
2. Next, calculate the bending knee side length required:

LK = 20 X √25.0 mm X 19.2 mm
LK = 438.2 mm
Therefore, the calculated minimum required bending side LK comes up to 328.5 mm. A safety factor is suggested
not to exceed 5% of this length .

Lkp = 20 X √25.0 mm X 19.2 mm/2
Lkp = 310 mm (as opposed to 438.2 mm with no pre-stressing, saving ~ 30% length)
Therefore, the calculated minimum required pre-stressed bending knee Lkp comes up to 31Omm. A safety factor is
suggested not to exceed 5% of this length.

other obligations (in building regulations) should also be complied to. For residential applications, assuming normal service conditions, the insulation thickness specified in the as above

METITHERM PRESSURE TEST
An installation pressure test should be always performed after the end of all welding operations and before the piping system
has been plastered or insulated, according to DIN 1988 TRWI.
The pressure test should be performed at l .5 times the operating pressure.
Using cold water, the pipe system should be filled slowly and bled completely using calibrated measuring instruments that
indicate pressure changes of 0.1 bar wherever possible. Measurements should be taken at the lowest point of the pipe system.
Where pipes and fittings have been welded, the pressure test should not be performed before two hours have elapsed after the

last welding operation. POINTS TO BE OPENED FOR FLUSHING (WITH A MINIMUM FLOW RATE OF 0.5M/S)
The pressure test consists of two stages:
• For the first stage, a test pressure equal to the permissible working pressure plus 5 bar should be applied twice within 30
minutes at l O minute intervals. The pressure should be then checked. In case more than a 0.6 bar drop occurs over a period
of 30 minutes at a rate of 0.1 bar/min, then a leakage is reported.
• The second stage should follow the first stage without interval and should last a minimum of 2 hours. Pressure drop should
then be checked. If the pressure drop is more than 0.2 bar and the pipe work shows signs of leakage, then the network
should be corrected and the test must be repeated.

INSTALLATION PRINCIPLE OF CALCULATION OF
PIPING NETWORK SIZE
Determination of pipe diameter in potable water networks involves complicated calculations.
METITHERM WATER POINT CONNECTIONS
Part 3 of the DIN 1988 (Technical Rules for Potable Water Installations) stipulates the calculation principles for
the determining of the pipe diameter, based on the calculation of loss of pressure in pipes. The loss of pressure
depends on the length of the pipe, the pipe material and the flow rate. This means the quantity and size of
the water points to which the pipe is connected. The basis for determining the maximum flow rate should
be calculated on the desired flow rate of each water point. DIN 1988 T3 should be used as a basis for these
calculations.
The newer version of DIN 1988 is a simplified source for estimating the piping arrangement in the case of
residential buildings, providing adequate solutions for actual operating conditions.
In order to select pipe diameter the following data has to be taken into account:

loss due to fittings and pipe connections.
MAXIMUM FLOW RATE

A further criterion for the selection of the pipe diameter is the maximum permissible flow rate. Because of sonic
reasons and limitation of water hammer, the calculated flow rate may not exceed the values outlined in the
table below.

MINIMUM FLOW PRESSURE/CALCULATED FLOWS
CALCULATED FLOW OF COMMON WATER POINT
Comment: All other water points and apparatus of the above type with larger armature passages or minimum
pressure of flow have to be considered on determining the pipe diameter according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• The calculated flows of mixed water points are based on 15 °C for cold potable water and 60 °C for warm
potable water.
• In case of taps without air inlet (perlator) and with hose screw, the loss of pressure in the hose pipe (up to
10 m length) and in the connected apparatus (lawn sprinkler) is considered over the minimum pressure of
flow. The minimum pressure of flow is increased by 1 .0 bar to 1.5 bar.
