UV Resistance

Pipes and fittings made from fusiolen PP-R or fusiolen PP-R C are normally not installed where subject to UV-radiation.

All aquatherm PP-R pipes and fittings have UV stabilizer to bridge transport and installation times. Maximum storage time in the open air is 3 months under Australian UV-conditions.

For the application in open air aquatherm offers composite pipes with an UV-protective layer made from black polyethylene, which excludes damages caused by sunlight.

Aquatherm PP-R fittings have to be protected against sunlight by using a black UV-resistant adhesive tape.

Painting the aquatherm PP-R pipes and fittings with an UV resistant epoxy based primer or lagging the aquatherm PP-R pipes and fittings with an UV resistant insulation is sufficient as well to protect the PP-R pipe system from UV damage.

Available types of pipe:

• aquatherm green pipe MF UV
• aquatherm blue pipe MF UV (on demand)
• aquatherm blue pipe MF UV-OT (on demand)

Peeling of the UV layer

When welding UV pipe peel off the UV layer off the aquatherm pipe before fusion.

Push the end of the UV pipe into the guide of the peeling tool. Peel off the UV layer up to the top of the peeling tool. It is not necessary to mark the welding depth as the back stop of the peeling tool indicates the correct welding depth.

Before starting the fusion, check if the UV layer has been completely removed.

"Old" aquatherm green pipe MS ("Stabi")

In some buildings you can still find the "old" aquatherm green pipe MS ("Stabi"). The "Stabi" pipe is mechanically stabilized through an integrated aluminium layer. The "Stabi" pipe can be recognized by the "golf ball" like indentations on the outside of the pipe.
By using the standard aquatherm green fittings you can connect any aquatherm green pipe to the old "Stabi" pipe.

Peeling of the Aluminium layer

When welding "Stabi" pipe peel off the Aluminium layer off the aquatherm green pipe MS ("Stabi") before fusion.

Push the end of the "Stabi" pipe into the guide of the peeling tool. Peel off the Aluminium layer up to the top of the peeling tool. It is not necessary to mark the welding depth as the back stop of the peeling tool indicates the correct welding depth.

Before starting the fusion, check if the Aluminium layer has been completely removed.

Shipbuilding

After its success ashore, aquatherm green pipe increasingly manages to get hold of the sanitary sector in international shipbuilding.
Beside of its corrosion resistance and easy processing, even at sea, the vibration stable PP-R system convinces through its safe connection technique.

The aquatherm green pipe system complies with the requirements of the fire classification
B2 DIN 4102 (normal inflammable).
Compared to natural products like wood, cork or wool, aquatherm green pipes do not produce any gas toxicity.
There is no risk of dioxin emission, which is especially important with liners.

Numerous registrations, certificates and test results confirm:
aquatherm green pipe - the optimum system for shipbuilding!
