PRODUCT INFORMATION

What can AQUATHERM RED do?

aquatherm red is the first plastic sprinkler pipe system certified by VDS Schadenverhütung GmbH,
Europe's largest institute for corporate safety. The material used, fusiolen PP-R FS, was developed for
the special requirements of sprinkler systems. aquatherm red offers a high level of safety due to its
flame-retardant properties and its corrosion resistance, which saves resources and protects the environment.
The pipe and fitting welding also ensures a tight connection.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

What should you know about the technical features of AQUATHERM RED?

Diameter

From the main line to the sprinkler/wall hydrant, aquatherm red pipes cover the complete piping system in the available diameters: 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 75, 90, 110 and 125 mm (DN15 - 90).

SDR

The SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) is a key figure indicating the pressure resistance. In order to guarantee a certain pressure resistance, a certain maximum SDR number is necessary, depending on the type of material. The following applies: The greater the wall thickness, the smaller the SDR number, the more pressure-resistant the plastic pipe is. The unit indicates the ratio between outer diameter and wall thickness of a pipe.
aquatherm red is available in SDR size 7.4.

Material

aquatherm red is made of fusiolen PP-R FS. Due to its flame retardant properties and its corrosion resistance, the plastic pipe offers a high level of safety. aquatherm red is suitable for direct installation in concrete. By comparison: When using metal sprinkler systems, corrosion occurs as soon as the metal and the wet concrete meet. Corrosion can only be prevented with the help of special protection, which makes the installation of metal pipe systems in concrete complex and expensive. The piping system is not only suitable for sprinkler systems as a wet system (in concrete or F30 ceiling areas), but also for low-pressure fine spray technology.

PROCESSING

How can AQUATHERM RED be proceed?

aquatherm pipes and fittings are connected by heat fusion, which creates a homogeneous, cohesive unit with no leak paths. Heat fusion connections are stronger than the pipe itself, providing lasting safety at these critical points of a piping system. A properly executed aquatherm fusion creates a permanent leakproof connection.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions that customers often ask about AQUATHERM RED

Where can aquatherm red be used?

You can use aquatherm red exclusively for sprinkler systems. For the application in drinking water, aquatherm red is not suitable or approved.

How safe is aquatherm red?

The aquatherm PP-R FS sprinkler pipe system meets the requirements of building material class B 1 DIN 4102-1/ B-s1,d0 DIN EN 13501 (flame retardant). Compared with natural materials such as wood, cork, or wool, they do not exhibit increased fire gas toxicity. Therefore, no dioxin is produced during combustion.

What fire protection solutions are offered for aquatherm red?

All fire prevention systems which can prove equivalent licensing are suited for aquatherm red.

What rules must be observed when using plastic pipes as sprinkler lines?

Fire protection requirements and standards for planning and construction of sprinkler systems vary locally. Thus, the application of aquatherm red in any case has to be agreed and coordinated with the local national fire protection authorities, the constructor and the building insurers. Further certification either national or local are in process.

What should be observed when transporting and storing aquatherm red?

aquatherm red pipes can be stored in all outside temperatures. Pipes should be stored and transported flat and fully supported along their length. Bending pressures are to be avoided. High impact should be avoided at externely low temperatures. Although aquatherm red pipe pipes are extremely robust, it is recommended to treat the material always with care.
Pipes from fusiolen® PP-R FS should not be installed (without protection) where subject to UV-radiation. All aquatherm red pipes and fittings are supplied in UV-protected packaging to bridge transport and assembly time. Ultraviolet rays have an influence on all high polymeric plastics. Hence, pipes should not be stored unprotected outside for a long time. The maximum storage time is (outside) 6 months.
