1.1 System description

1.1.1 Geberit HDPE

Geberit HDPE is the complete solution for all types of
drainage, both above and below ground. It has high thermal
and chemical resistance. The pipes and fittings are
manufactured from high density polyethylene and offer
numerous advantages compared to conventional piping
systems. Geberit HDPE has a high impact and abrasion
resistance, is flexible and offers multiple connection options.
These combined properties make it ideal for prefabrication,
high traffic areas and trade waste applications where quality
and reliability are important.

1.1.3 Characteristics

Comments on the individual properties

The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 – 960 kg/m3. Geberit fittings and pipe
Geberit High Density
are up to 955 kg/m3 making them some of the durable available. HDPE is lighter and more
Polyethylene HDPE: Density
flexible than many alternate materials, which is beneficial particularly with regard to
951 – 955 kg/m3
transportation and installation.

Geberit licensed manufacturing process produces HDPE with a reversion less than 15 mm
Reduced reversion
per metre. This leads to less shrinkage and a more robust installation.

Geberit HDPE will not break when the water in the pipes freezes. The pipes will expand as

the water freezes and then return to their original shape.

The flexibility of the piping material can be a key selection criteria with certain applications,
Elasticity especially when pipes are exposed to movement from vibration, earthquake or ground
subsidence.

Resistance to radioactive There is no risk of damage as a result of medical waste. However, please ask the
effluents manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.

A pipe’s resistance to abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch lines, sewer

Resistance to abrasion stacks and ground pipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer
additional protection.

Heat expansion of HDPE needs to be considered in the design and installation. As a rule of
Heat expansion thumb, for every 50 °C increase in temperature, an expansion of 15 mm per metre of pipe
can be anticipated.

Geberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe with no mechanical load, up to 80 °C.
Resistance to hot water
Temperatures of up to 100 °C for short periods (e.g. surges of steam) are permissible.

Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very high
Resistance to impact even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. -40 °C) making ideal for installation in
car parks and trafficable areas.

Non-conductive Plastics are good insulators of electricity.

Chemical resistance of the rubber seal is different to HDPE. Refer to the chemical
Sealing material
compatibility guide or contact Geberit for assistance on the best joining method.

Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UV rays by
Solar radiation
the addition of a stabiliser. Consider the heat and expansion in exposed areas.

HDPE is a soft material with a low Young’s modulus. HDPE limits solid-borne conduction,
Noise
but airborne noise should be insulated. This can be done by means of a duct or lagging.

Because of its structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals. Its resistance can
be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in all solutions at 20 °C. Geberit
Chemical resistance HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic and aromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at
over 90 °C. The material will be attacked by heavily oxidized media (conc. HN03,
conc. H2 S04) when exposed over long periods at room temperature.

Many years of experience with welding HDPE pipes have shown, the butt and electrofusion
Tightness welds form a watertight bond that is stronger than the pipe. When installed correctly the
joint will remain watertight for the life of the building.

HDPE’s low surface tension and hydrophobic properties are highly beneficial in preventing
Protection against blockages
blockages commonly caused by solid deposits and low flow of water.

HDPE require a low energy input to produce when compared to many other materials. The
Welding temperature welding temperature for HDPE is approximately 230 °C, making welding easier and more
reliable than some other joining methods.

Plastics are well suited for use in the food industry as packaging material, containers,
Non-toxic
bottles etc. Geberit HDPE pipes are widely used in the food service and packaging industry.

HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibility of the
Painting material limits the adhesive properties of the paint. If painting is unavoidable, the paint
product to be used should be tested for compatibility with the HDPE.

2.1 System components

The complete proven and practical product range consists of:

• Pipes
• Fittings
• Connections
• Fastenings

Figure 1: Geberit HDPE product range

2.2 Chemical resistance list

The following information is always required for calculating

the chemical resistance:
• Conveyed medium (composition, chemical designation)
• Proportion (concentration in %)
• Temperature in °C
• Information about the duration of exposure, frequency, flow rate
• Other conveyed media

Geberit HDPE can be used between pH 0 and pH 14.

The behaviour of the fitting seal ring (EPDM) relating to the chemical resistance is different to Geberit HDPE.

The way in which the Geberit HDPE pipes and fittings behave when coming into contact with the materials flowing through them
is classified as follows:
Resistant (+): The pipe wall material is generally deemed to be suitable.
Resistant to a certain extent (0): The suitability of the pipe wall material must be verified for the specific application; further
testing may be required.
Not resistant (-): The pipe wall material is generally deemed to be unsuitable.

The resistance of the seals differs from the resistance of the HDPE pipes and fittings. Geberit HDPE can be used
between pH 0 and pH 14.

2.3 Technical data

2.3.1 Permitted internal pressure

The Geberit HDPE product range was essentially designed for
Pressure max. 1.5 bar, up to dimension ø 160
drainage systems. Geberit has configured the maximum
Temperature 30 °C
permitted load values for the low pressure range (e.g. pump
pressure pipes) to ensure a service life of 10 years. All connections must be made tension resistant.

For pipelines which are firmly welded and completely
embedded in concrete, the expansion on heating and
shrinkage on cooling of HDPE is absorbed by the material
itself, due to its high elasticity. The forces which apply when
expansion is prevented are considerable for large
dimensions. 1

2.5.4 Fastening with deflection leg

Pipe laying with deflection leg

• The thermal expansion is controlled with the use of anchor brackets and the deflection leg
• The pipe straps must be used in the area of the deflection leg to allow for movement
• The deflection leg must be calculated for each pipe section which branches off or changes direction

According to DIN EN 12056, load on a discharge pipe

due to different levels of subsidence of the building
must be avoided using suitable measures. Geberit
HDPE absorbs different levels of subsidence due to
the flexibility of the material. In addition, insulation
must be applied which is thicker than the expected
subsidence.

AS/NZS3500.2 amendment 3 2010 clause 6.6.1, 6.6.2 and 6.6.5.1. In Australia currently some local authorities ask for
additional restrictions or do not allow the use of ball junctions at all. Enquire directly with the appropriate authority prior
to starting any planning or installation.

Clause 6.6.1 Types

Any of the following types of junctions may be used to connect fixture, branch or common discharge pipes to a stack, the
following apply:
1. 45° junctions
2. Sweep junctions
3. Aerator junctions
4. Ball junctions
5. Square junctions

No fixture shall be connected to the branch or common discharge pipe within 500 mm in length from the stack if the entry is at
grade.

Clause 6.6.2 Restrictions

Where any fixture trap is connected to a ball junction, the weir of the fixture trap shall be at the same height or above the top of
the branch junction fitting. Where a square or ball junction is used and any discharge pipe is less than 500 mm in length from the
stack, one of the following shall apply:
1. A self-sealing device shall be fitted to the fixture
2. An S-trap shall be fitted to the fixture and a vertical dropper provided in the discharge pipe between the fixture and the stack
junction
3. A P-trap shall be fitted to the fixture, and the discharge pipe graded at not less than 6.65 % (1 in 15)

Clause 6.6.5.1 Opposed connections at the same level

Opposed connections at ball junctions or aerator junction fittings may be used only where the opposing pipes are connected
to equal numbers of the same type of fixtures.

Opposed connections, other than at ball type junctions or aerator junction fittings, shall only be made using double 45°
junctions or double sweep junctions.

Clause 6.6.5.2 Opposed connections at different levels

Grade fixture or common discharge pipes that are located at lower level than any other opposed similar pipes shall not be
connected to a stack within a restricted entry zone unless the lower pipe enters the stack at an angle of 45°.

4.1 Manufacturing pipe joints by welding

4.1.1 Types of welding

Welding joints can be created by various processes:
• Electrofusion sleeve coupling
• Butt welding

General information about welding

Up to ø 75, welding can be done by hand; from ø 90, we recommend welding using the Geberit welding machines Universal or
Media.

When welding Geberit HDPE pipes and fittings, the quality of the connection is primarily dependent on:
• The material characteristics
• The manufacturing specifications
• The tolerances

This applies particularly to electrofusion welding. The electrofusion sleeve couplings and the pipes and fittings must be
matched to the automatic welding control by the electrofusion machine.

The Geberit electrofusion machine, electrofusion sleeve couplings and fittings are a self-contained
manufacturer-specific system, which cannot be replaced with external products. Geberit can therefore only guarantee
the suitability of pipes, fittings and electrofusion sleeve couplings for welding if Geberit products are exclusively
connected to other Geberit products.

The welding bead should be about half as thick as the pipe wall thickness.

Ring-seal sockets are provided with a yellow protection cap

to prevent the ingress of debris during installation.

Assembly instructions are the same for both ring-seal

sockets and screw-threaded joints, the sleeve lengths are the
same for corresponding diameters. The effective sleeve
length, i. e. the measurement – X – from the O-ring to the base
of the socket governs the maximum length of pipe which can
be connected by individual joints.

For HDPE approximately 15 mm of spigot should be allowed

for every 1 m of pipe.

The pipe must be fully inserted into the socket, because the
socket does not act as an expander. Owing to the pipe
thickness and the low thermal conductivity of HDPE, the
socket seal has very satisfactory resistance to heat and no
shrinkage of the O-ring occurs.
The O-ring has a round seat regardless of pipe movements.
The O-ring remains fixed in the seat and is always in contact
with the pipe.

as any other types of connection.

Installation
It is necessary to insert an appropriate reinforcement ring
into the ends of the HDPE pipe first when these clamps are
used as adapters to HDPE pipes or for HDPE pipe
connections.

Important:
If the joint from HDPE to steel – cast iron or
earthenware – is made with a coupling, it has to be
secured by an anchor bracket. Install the anchor

In a number of countries, a tensile test is carried out on a test specimen taken in longitudinal (or transversed) direction
of the pipe, e.g. in Great Britain according to BS 3284. The values thereby obtained do not necessarily need to agree
with those given table, which applies especially for the in the elongation at break.

The values given above relate exclusively to the corresponding test methods or test specimens. Results which are
obtained with specimens taken from pipes may not agree.In contrast with injection, moulded specimens are free from
flow orientations. This strongly influences the test result. Measurement with moulded bars is therefore preferred.

4.3.2 Ecological properties of

Geberit HDPE
Polyethylene (HDPE) is a simple compound of carbon and
hydrogen atoms, harmless to humans, animals and plants.

HDPE environmental loads relate to the fields of manufacture

and disposal. In addition to the raw material crude oil, energy
is used for the preparation of the plastic granulate and in the
manufacture of the products.

HDPE is the perfect material for drainage systems from an

ecological point of view. It has a long life span, no toxic gases
rises from incineration (e. g. hydrochloric acid HCL from PVC)
during disposal. It consumes much smaller quantities of
energy during fabrication process and transport than steel,
cast iron or copper pipes.

Geberit named in top 10 most sustainable companies globally

Geberit is a proven international leader in the area of sustainability. Having recently been named among the top 10 most
sustainable companies in the world from a study conducted by media company, Corporate Knights, further “supports and
validates Geberit’s continuing commitment to be environmentally responsible in everything we do,” said Managing Director of
Geberit Australia. Saving water, resource efficiency and sustainable construction are core areas of concern for the Geberit
organisation both globally and locally. A key focus for Geberit Australia is to continually update, integrate and effectively
implement a sustainable strategy that will make a positive impact today and tomorrow.

Geberit believes that sustainability must be lived in all company sectors. Geberit aims to be a role model to and set standards
for partners, customers and suppliers. This includes safe, environmentally friendly and resource efficient production with an
increasing proportion of renewable energies, procurement and logistics with high environmental and ethical standards
ensuring that the entire manufacturing process of all products comply with the highest standards in environmental protection,
social responsibility and ethical action.

Sustainability means satisfying the needs of today’s generation in a manner that will ensure a solid basis for the livelihoods of
future generations. To assist in achieving this, Geberit provides 100% recyclable HDPE Polyethylene (PE), which is a simple
compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms, harmless to humans, animals and plants. HDPE is the perfect ecological solution as
it has a long life span and does not excrete toxic gases during incineration during disposal and consumes much smaller
quantities of energy. All Geberit manufacturing sites are compliant to the latest ISO standard (ISO 9001 & 14001).
