Fast connection for small dimensions

aquatherm grey pipe is characterized by its good flexibility and high dimensional stability. It is connected using sliding sleeve technology, which offers significant advantages for flexible floor connections. Whether as radiator connections or in sanitary wall installations: permanent tight connections between small dimensions connecting pipes, brass, and plastic fittings can be created easily and with minimal tools.

Technical specification

The advantages of the aquatherm grey pipe-connection pipes in the field of floor connection are:
- safe and tested connection technology
- fast installation
- oxygen-tight
- pressure- and temperature-resistant
- no corrosion or incrustation
- suitable for any water quality

The all-rounder
The aquatherm grey pipe-system is applicable in the field of:
potable water installations
heating installations
underfloor heating installation
The aquatherm grey pipe-PB pipe is particularly bendable, thus easy and flexible to install.
The crucial advantage of the aquatherm grey pipe-system is that it can be processed completely (!) in the house installation.
Surplus pipes which result after an installation, e.g. an underfloor heating, must no more disposed, but can be processed without problems also for radiator connection or potable water application.
This does not only save the plumberÅLs time and money, but also works with a system, which considers optimally the modern requirements of an environmentally conscious, ecologically thinking final consumer.

The aquatherm grey pipe system offers three types of connection pipes:
aquatherm grey pipe-PB connection pipe (grey) in coils Ø 16 – 25 mm, produced from the high-flexible material polybutene (PB)
aquatherm grey pipe-PB Anschlussrohr (grau) im Ring Ø 16 – 32 mm, aus dem hochflexiblen Werkstoff Polybuten (PB)
aquatherm grey pipe PE-RT underfloor heating and radiator connection pipe (green/grey) in coils 16-20 mm, oxygen-tight acc. to DIN 4726
1. Fittings made of brass
Material:
aquatherm grey pipe-fittings with threads and inserts made from dezincification resistant brass
PPSU = Polyphenylene sulphone / Brass
Characteristics:
All fittings of the aquatherm grey pipe-system are – due to the latest European Potable Water Standard – made from a dezincification resistant brass. This type of brass has been developed especially for the application in areas with aggressive water. aquatherm applies this standard brass for all metal fittings and connection pieces.
2. Fittings made of PPSU
Material:
aquatherm grey pipe-system fittings made from the plastic PPSU (PPSU = Polyphenylene sulphone)
Characteristics:
The advantages of complementary aquatherm grey pipesystem fittings are:
- high heat resistant
- high impact rate
- low stress cracking susceptibility
- chemical resistant
- hygienical harmlessness
- no corrosion
- no o-ring application
- no diminished cross-section
- reduction of metal influences to potable water
- considerable weight reduction compared to brass fittings
- environmentally friendly production, as the material PPSU is recyclable
These favourable characteristics of the aquatherm grey pipe offer multiple fields of applications.
The material PPSU is applied for the aviation and space industry as well as for medicine technique. Especially regarding the safeness with foodcontact, particularly with potable water, the aquatherm grey pipe system fittings made from PPSU are first choice in the field of potable water technique.
Even high temperature- and pressure stability are optimum for the field of heating technique.

aquatherm grey pipe-PB potable water and heating connection pipes are produced from the high-flexible and heat-stabilized material polybutene resp. polybutene with fibre composite. The physical and chemical characteristics are adjusted to the special demands of the potable water and heating sector. aquatherm grey pipe-connection pipes correspond to the quality requirements of DIN 16968, DIN 4727 and DIN 4726. Separation by means of heat exchanger is not necessary according to DIN 4726 if using aquatherm grey pipe pipes for heating a system. The connection pipes have an oxygen barrier.
aquatherm grey pipe-corrugated pipes are made from polyethylene (PE). These types of protection pipes are compressable and can be pushed back before connecting without problems.

Sliding sleeve technique
Especially for flexible floor connection the sliding sleeve technique grants important advantages.
Whether in the field of radiator connection or potable water on-wall installation, with the sliding sleeve technique you create permanent connections between low dimensioned connection pipes, nickel-plated brass fittings and plastic fittings without great expenses of tools and assembly.

aquatherm grey pipe-PB-potable water and radiator connection pipes inclusive sliding sleeve connections are certified under registration-no. DW-8501 AU2075 by the DVGW and under no. 3V207 PB by DIN CERTCO.


Connection technology sliding sleeve
The sliding sleeve technology is an interlocking connection.
The permanent tight connection results from pressing the aquatherm grey pipe-sliding sleeve onto the aquatherm grey pipe-pipe with the aquatherm grey pipe-fitting.
The sliding sleeve connection technology must be utilized with the original aquatherm grey pipe pipes, fittings and tools only.
