sprinkler pipe system
aquatherm firestop offers an extensive range of pipes and fittings for
the installation of fire sprinkler systems.
The material fusiolen® PP-R (80) FS, used for the production of these
pipes, is a plastic whose profile of properties is designed for the special
demands of the field of application. Both, the installer’s request for easier
processing and the demand for maximum safety in later application was
taken into account during its development.

GENERAL
Handling
UV resistance
Pipes from fusiolen® PP-R (80) FS should not be installed (without protecti-
on) where subject to UV-radiation. All firestop-pipes and fittings are sup-
plied 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 maxi-
mum storage time is (outside) 6 months.
Fire bulkheading
All fire prevention systems which can prove equivalent licensing are suited
for the firestop pipe system. aquatherm recommends equivalent the
Rockwool Conlit fire retardant seals as an ideal fire prevention solution for
the fire-stop-pipe system.
Cut out damaged / leaking section and replace as for a new installation
or repair with pipe repair stick (page 32).

TECHNIQUE
Part A:
Mounting of the welding tools
1. Important!
3. All welding tools must be free from impurities. Check, if they are clean
before assembling. If necessary clean the welding tools with a non
fibrous, coarse tissue and with spirit.
4. Place the welding tools, so that there is full surface contact between the
welding tool and the welding plate. Welding tools over Ø 40 mm must
always be fitted to the rear position of the welding plate.
5. Plug in the welding device and check, if operating lamp is on. Depending
on the ambient temperature it takes 10-30 minutes to heat-up the
welding plate.
The heat-up phase ends, when the temperature pilot lamp blinks and
a signal is audible.

6. During the heat-up phase tighten the welding tools carefully with the
Allen Key. Take care that the tools fully contact the welding plate.
Never use pliers or any other unsuitable tools, as this will damage the
coating of the welding tools.
ATTENTION:
First welding at the earliest 10 minutes after reaching the
welding temperature. DVS 2207, Part 11.

Handling
8. A tool change on a heated device requires another check of the
welding temperature at the new tool (after heat-up phase).
10. After use unplug the welding device and cool down. Water must
never be used to cool the welding device, as this would destroy the
heating resistances.

Part A:
Handling
11. Protect fusiotherm®-welding devices and tools against impurities.
Burnt-it particles may result in an incorrect fusion. The tools may be
cleaned with fusiotherm®-cleaning wipes, Art.-No. 50193. Always keep
the burnt-in welding tools dry. If necessary, dry them with a clean, non
fibrous tissue.
12. For perfect fusion, damaged or dirty welding tools must be replaced, as
only undamaged tools ensure a perfect fusion welding.
13. Never attempt to open or repair a defective device. Return the defective
device for repair.
Part A:
Guidelines
15. For the correct handling of welding machines the following must be
observed:
and particularly
23
FirestopInternational 18.01.2007 8:45 Uhr Seite 24
TECHNIQUE
Part B:
Checking of devices and tools
1. Check, if the fusiotherm®-welding device and tool correspond to the
guidelines “Fusion Part A”.
2. All devices and tools in use must have reached the required operating
temperature of 260° C in use. This needs a separate, compulsory test,
acc. to DVS-Welding Guideline "Fusion Part A, item 8". The control of
the operating temperature can be made with fast indicating thermo-
meters.
Application:
After the temperature pilot lamp of the welding device has indicated the
end of the heat-up period, put a firm chalk line on the heated external sur-
face of the welding tool. The colour must change within 1 - 2 seconds.
If the temperature is too high, the colour will change immediately and if it
is too low (below 260° C) it will change after 3 or more seconds.
It is possible, that the printed colour differs slightly from the original
before after

TECHNIQUE
Part B:
Preparation for the fusion
3. Cut the pipe right-angled to the pipe axis.
4. Mark the welding depth at the end of the pipe with the enclosed pencil
and template.
5. Mark the desired position of the fitting on the pipe and / or fitting.
The auxiliary markings on the fitting and the continued line on the
pipe may be used as a help.
TECHNIQUE
Part B:
Heat-up of pipe and fittings
6. Push the end of the pipe, without turning, up to the marked welding
depth into the welding tool and at the same time the fitting, without
turning, as far as it will go on the tool. It is essential to observe the
above mentioned heating times.
ATTENTION:
The heating time starts, when pipe and fitting have been pushed with
the correct welding depth on and in the welding tool. Not before!
Part B:
Setting and alignment
7. After the stipulated heat-up time quickly remove pipe and fitting from
the welding tools. Join them immediately, without turning, until the
mark welding depth is covered by PP-bead of the fitting.
ATTENTION:
Do not push the pipe too far into the fitting, as this would reduce
the bore and in an extreme case may close the pipe.
9. After the cooling period the fused joint is ready for use.

TECHNIQUE
Part C:
Weld-in saddles
1. Before starting the welding process, check if the fusiotherm® -
welding devices and tools meet the requirements of “Fusion Part A”.
2. The first step is to drill through the wall of the pipe at the point inten-
ded for the outlet by using the fusiotherm®-drill.
5. Insert the heating tool on the concave side of the weld-in saddle tool
into the hole drilled in the side wall of the pipe until the tool is completely
in contact with the outer wall of the pipe. Next the weld-in saddle spigot
is inserted into the heating sleeve until the saddle surface is up against
the convex side of the welding tool. The heating time of the elements is
generally 30 seconds.
6. After the welding tool has been removed, the weld-in saddle spigot is
immediately inserted into the heated, drilled hole. The weld-in saddle
should then be pressed on the pipe for about 15 seconds. After being
allowed to cool for 10 minutes the connection can be exposed to its full
loading. The appropriate branch pipe is fitted into the sleeve on the
fusiotherm®-weld-in saddle using conventional fusion technology.
By fusing the weld-in saddle with the pipe outer surface and the pipe inner
wall the connection reaches highest stability.

Option 1:
The pipe work in the concrete should be connected to the supply pipe, that
the connection can be accessed in case of damage.
Option 2:
Before casting the connection can be packed in a Rockwool-fire protection
panel Conlit 150 U (allow enough space for installation work).
This panel has the following features:
light, water-repellent, pressure-resistant, self-supporting rockwool panel
covered with glass grid
Fields of application:
fire protection covering for steel construction F30–A-F180-A,
Increase of fire resistance class of concrete coverings.
Not flammable A2 acc. to DIN 4102, Part 1. Melting point >1000° C.
After shuttering of the ceilings the fire protection panel Conlit 150 U can
remain in the completed ceiling and can be adjusted to the structure of
the concrete ceiling by plastering.

Part 6:
Potential equalizing
The VDE 0190 Part 410 and 540 requires a potential equalizing between
all kinds of earth conductors and the existing “conductible” potable and
waste water supplies and heating pipes. As firestop is not a conductible pipe
system, it cannot be used for potential equalizing and thus needs no earth
wiring.
38
FirestopInternational 29.11.2006 9:23 Uhr Seite 39
TECHNIQUE
During the concreting process the pipe must be pressurized with the
admissible operating pressure, so that a damaged point is visible at once.
After the pressure test the admissible operating pressure is kept by shut
off of the respective pipe. The applied measuring devices must grant a
correct reading of pressure changes of 0.1 bar.
Part 8:
Experiences with this material confirm that the alloy has an excellent
resistance against concrete.

TEST
Pressure test
The hydraulic pressure test requires a preliminary, principal and final test.
In the preliminary test the system is pressurized with the 1.5 times of the
maximum operating pressure. This test pressure has to be re-established
twice within 30 minutes within an interval of 10 minutes. After a test time of
a further 30 minutes the test pressure must not drop more than 0.6 bar.
No leakage may appear.
Upon completion of the preliminary and principal tests the final test must
be conducted. In the final test the system is pressurized in a frequency of
5 minutes with a changing test pressure of 10 and 1 bar.
