Tees / Junctions / Mitre Bends
GFR FABRICATED FITTINGS ARE MANUFACTURED FROM PIPE OF THE PRESSURE DIMENSION
SHOWN IN THE CATALOGUE
These products should be pressure re-rated according to the following formulae.
BUTT WELDING
1 All equal tees, junctions and mitre bends are to be fabricated by full face butt welding only.
2 Fittings are to be hydrostatic pressure re-rated from the nominal pipe class. This re-rating takes
into account a butt weld strength of 90% of pipe strength, and stress increase due to fitting
shape.
The re-rating factors to be applied are:-

Rating = Pipe Class x 0.9
1.5
3 Wye (Y) junctions are for drainage applications only.
4 All requirements for butt welding must be observed.
EXTRUSION WELDING
1 Tees, junctions, and mitre bends may be extrusion welded where full face butt welding is not
available.
2 Fittings made by extrusion welding are to be pressure re-rated from the nominal pipe class.
This re-rating takes into account an extrusion weld strength of 60% of pipe strength, and stress
increase due to fitting shape.
The re-rating factors to be applied are:-

Rating = Pipe Class x 0.6
1.5
3 Wye (Y) junctions are for drainage applications only
4 The maximum ratio of branch/main pipe diameters is 45%
5 All requirements for extrusion welding must be observed.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The compression saddles, fittings and valves are not for use with hot water although they withstand the same
temperature as most polyethylene pipes. The fittings and valves will withstand sub-zero temperatures.
FLANGES
Flange dimensions in accoredance with AS/NZS 4331-1995.

Internal parallel thread up to 2 1/2”; internal taper thread 3” and up.
External taper thread all sizes. All threads conform to ISO7; BS21-1973; DIN2999; NEN3258; AS1722 Part1-1975.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Plasson polypropylene fittings are supplied, as standard, with Nitrile (NBR) rings and acetal split rings which are
suitable for water supply and many chemical handling applications.
For many chemicals however, NBR and acetal are unsuitable and Plasson spare rings of either EPDM or VITON
(FPM) should be used to replace the nitrile rings. CPVC split rings are also available to replace acetal. Generally
nitrile is good in oily applications whilst EPDM or VITON are more suitable in acidic applications. A brief indication
of chemical resistance at 20°C follows.

FPM although the most resistant is expensive - EPDM is usually the economical solution. Generally, if EPDM or
FPM O Rings are required, then CPVC split rings should be used in place of standard acetal split rings. This is
intended as a guide only. Tapping Saddles used in chemical applications or permanently buried situations may
require stainless steel bolts and nuts. In many sizes the NBR ring can be replaced with EPDM OR FPM.

Supraclamp Jointing Systems
Makes joining polyethylene pipelines simple
The coupling ‘A’ which consists of two

halves, incorporates a broad rubber gasket
for sealing and a row of serrated teeth, at
either end of the coupling, which grips
securely on the outside of the pipe when
the two halves are bolted together.
The Supra clamp ‘D’ adapter is used where

plain ended pipe is required to adapt to
steel shouldered pipe or fittings. The
adaptor incorporates half a coupling and
gasket with the other half containing the
serrated grip rings.
The Supraclamp flange adaptor consists of

two parts:
1) The actual flange adaptor ‘E’ which
contains the rubber sealing ring AND
2) The Gripping clamp ‘C’ incorporating
machined teeth which grip the flange
to the outside of the pipe.

Supraclamp Jointing Systems
The Supraclamp Jointing System is the fastest and most effective way of joining polyethylene piping
systems without the need of welding or costly flanges. The Supraclamp system allows you to join plain
ended pipe up to 315mm dia. In underground or open cut mining application. The simple use of a saw
enables the fitting of valves, bends etc., or the shortening of a pipe without the use of glue, welding or
make up pieces.

uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings Technical Information
Temperature Considerations
For uPVC pipes and fittings under pressure and in continuous service at any temperature in the range 20-60°C,
the maximum allowable static pressure shall be reduced in accordance with the values in Table 3. For any pipe
material temperature or any pressure outside this range, the maximum allowable static pressure should be
established by reference to our office.
Table 5. Rating for pressure pipes for temperature.
Note: Pipes of higher rating than Class 18 should be rated in the same proportions as for Class 18.
Table 6. Recommended spacing of supports in metres.
uPVC pipe should be supported at intervals depending on the density of the fluid being conveyed and the
maximum temperature likely to be reached by the pipe material. Table 6 shows recommended maximum spacing
of support for all classes of pipe where water is the fluid being conveyed.

uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings Technical Information
Thermal Linear Expansion of uPVC Pipe
The co-efficient of thermal expansion of uPVC is much greater than other materials and must be considered when
installing above or below ground. The co-efficient may be taken for reference as 7 x 10-5/°C and represents
approximately 1 mm/m/15°C.
Earthing
uPVC is a non-conductor of electricity and must not be used for earthing purposes.
Storage and Handling
Because of its light weight uPVC is more liable to be thrown about, so reasonable care should be taken during
storage and handling.
Each pipe should have continuous or evenly spaced supports. Pipes should not be stacked in large piles,
particularly in warm conditions. Store away from direct sunlight whenever possible.
uPVC Pressure Fittings
The uPVC system is a comprehensive range of pressure pipes and fittings - well suited to domestic, commercial
and industrial applications.
All basic components are manufactured in PVC, and subject to the most rigorous quality controls. The result is a
light, robust system of a consistently high standard.
Injection moulded fittings suitable for solvent weld jointing are available in 15 mm - 150 mm and long radius
post formed bends to 195 mm.
GFR can custom manufacture PVC fittings to your requirements.
C.I./D.I. Pressure Fittings
A comprehensive range of Cast Iron and Ductile Iron fittings are available for use with Hardiseal R.
R.J. pressure pipes.
Socketed all around fittings manufactured to suit AS1477 pressure pipe dimensions are recommended.
Hydraulic Testing
Pipe line should be cool and, if buried, all joints left exposed. All air should be eliminated before applying full test
pressure. Test pressure is normally 1.2 to 1.5 times working pressure and should be no greater than twice
maximum working pressure. Test ends and any changes in direction must be properly retrained during testing to
avoid movement of the pipe and fittings.
Solvent weld systems must not be subjected to any hydraulic pressure for at least 24 hours when using high bond
or 48 hours when using slow setting cement.
Rubber ring joint systems must not be subjected to any hydraulic pressure until concrete thrust blocks have set.
Jointing Methods - Solvent Weld Joint
Solvent weld joints are a simple trouble free method of jointing uPVC pressure pipe and fittings, provided only
high bond or slow setting solvent cement is used and these jointing instructions are carefully followed. Before
applying the solvent cement, it is essential to use priming fluid for successful jointing, as the fluid not only cleans
and degreases, but removes the glazed surface from uPVC which allows the solvent cement to permeate into the
pipe or fitting.
Solvent cement is a solution of resin in a mixture of solvents which soften the surfaces when applied to uPVC
pipe and fittings. It is NOT a glue.
A thin uniform coat is applied to both spigot and socket and the joint assembled while the surfaces are still and
fluid. The cement layers intermingle and become one. The strength of the joint develops as the solvent permeates
the PVC and the volatile constituents evaporate.
6-6
uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings:
Jointing Instructions
1. Cut the spigot as square as possible using a mitre box and handsaw or
power saw. Remove all swarf and burrs from both inside and outside
edges with a knife, file,reamer or sandpaper. Swarf and burrs if left, will
wipe off the solvent cement and prevent proper joining. Also swarf inside
pipes can become dislodged and jam taps and valves.
2. Check the pipe and spigot or fittings for proper alignment. The time for
any adjustments is NOW, not later.
3. Mark the spigot with a pencil or marker at a distance equal to the

internal depth of the socket. Do NOT score or damage the surface of the
pipe or fitting.
4. Dry fit the joint. An interference fit must be reached before the spigot is
inserted fully to the pencil mark.
5. Thoroughly clean the inside of the socket and the area between the
pencil mark and the spigot end with a clean cotton, lint free cloth (do
NOT use synthetic material), dipping in priming fluid. This removes dirt
and grease and softens the PVC surface. Do NOT brush or pour the
priming fluid on.
6. Apply a THIN, uniform coat of solvent cement to the socket. Note that a
pool of cement at the foot of the socket will severely weaken the pipe or
fitting. Apply a uniform coat of solvent cement to the external surface of
the spigot up to the pencil mark.
7. Assemble the joint quickly before the cement dries by pushing the spigot
firmly into the socket as far as the pencil mark, ending with a quarter
turn in this position for at least thirty seconds without movement.
8. Wipe off the excess solvent cement from the outside of the joint and
where possible from the inside of the joint. Do NOT disturb for at least a
further five minutes.
Cure time is the time taken for the solvent weld joint to reach the pressure rating of the pipe.
For pressure pipes do NOT pressure test the joint for at least 24 hours when using high bond or 48 hours when
using slow setting.
By following these steps EXACTLY you should be able to make strong, leak-free joints with solvent cements. But
remember, correct pipe and fitting selection is also important. Consult the GFR catalogue for correct selection.

Jointing Methods
Jointing Methods - Rubber Ring Joint

Rubber ring joint pipe is supplied with a sealing ring which fits easily into the integral socket of each 6 metre
length, and is available in sizes 50 mm to 300 mm.
Pressure pipe rings are embossed with the letter ‘PR’ and the nominal diameter of pipe, e.g. ’PR100’ for jointing
100 mm diameter pipe.
Unless otherwise requested Natural Rubber (NR) rings are supplied. However, rings are available in other
polymers and colour identified on the rear outer circumference as follows:
Polymer Colour Code
Natural Rubber (NR) White
Polychloroprene (CR) Red
Butyl (AIR) Yellow
Styrene Butadience (SBR) Blue
Caution: Rings with two colour flashes contain root inhibitor and are for sewer use only.
If it is necessary to cut pipes on site use a fine toothed handsaw. The cut position should be measured to allow
the penetration depth of the spigot into the socket shown in Table 7. A mitre box is recommended to ensure the
cut is square to the pipe axis and all burrs removed with a file.
A chamfer similar to the factory produced chamfer on the pipes supplied is essential before attempting to joint
the pipes. Maximum length of chamfer is also shown in Table 7. The witness mark should then be made, using a
soft pencil, at the required penetration depth.

Valves
7-1
Australian Design Mark
Made from engineering plastics, stainless steel and rubber, the Float
Master is a servo assisted valve which is operated by its 25mm pilot valve.
The pilot valve is designed to ignore turbulence in the tank / vessel and
shuts off positively which in turn prompts a modulated close off in the
main valve. The valve simply bolts onto a flange in the tank and is ready
for use.
Float Master is a valve designed to fit into a tank or vessel and to regulate
the flow of liquid being pumped into the vessel based on depth.
The Float Master is designed to shut off with no “chatter” which is an
industry-recognized problem. “Chatter “ is when the waves, made by the
valve emptying into the tank, cause the ball float on the valve to bounce
up and down and shut-off / open again in rapid succession. The resulting
water hammer shocks can cause damage and confuse pressure sensitive
shut-off switches etc.
Float Master was designed to be easy to fit, simple to operate, and to not
require any electrical support such as telemetry or pressure switch
operations. Another important part of the design is to ensure that the Float
Master can be easily retrofitted into any application. This has significant
implications in the airconditioning, mining and utilities markets where
both strategic and tactical maintenance is carried out due to corrosion and
wear of valves.
The extremely simple nature of installation allows for minimal downtime
whilst the light weight of the valve offers a much lower chance of strain
or injury from an OH&S perspective.

Master Valves
The Story behind the Master Valve Development

Since GFR's inception in 1986 we have seen more and more creative applications
and innovations in the PE pipeline business. Engineers and end-users have
embraced PE as a worthy replacement for stainless steel, carbon steel, rubber
lined pipe, PVC pipe and others.
Vent Master Sewer Valve The Challenge

Valves are an area where we as an industry have seen virtually no changes occur.
This problem has really been highlighted in applications where PE has been
specified for its abrasion/corrosion resistance and no valving has been available
to complement the PE. The unfortunate result is that it is usual to see a PE
pipeline performing to design for, say, a highly saline process water supply while
all around it there is either a tactical or strategic maintenance programme that
deals with corroding and failing components such as valves. Problems in such
circumstances include:
• Corroding valves
Vent Master Valve • Blocked valves
• Pipeline collapsing under vacuum
• Increased energy consumption caused by trapped air
• Pipelines failing due to trapped air
The Solution
GFR has spent years supplying spare parts, new valves and other components,
performing in field repairs and making customised fittings for frustrated end-
Check Master Valve
users who have an otherwise functional pipeline.
We have viewed this as an opportunity to develop a better range of valves that
will complement your pipeline through effective and economic service.
What materials would you prefer your valves to be made of? - Our experience
tells us that corrosion proof materials that have good wear resistance are
preferred.
Float Master Valve Raw Materials

GFR's "Master" range is based on three component materials that are
complemented by other materials depending on model. These materials are:
• Stainless Steel (316 and SAF)
• Natural Rubber
• Polyethylene/Ertacetal

Cyclone Overflows 50mm to 350mm

For many years we have been the manufacturer of original
components and spare parts for one of the worlds largest
hydrocyclone manufacturers.
GFR cyclone overflows are made to fit all brands and can
also be made for custom applications. The overflows are
made from thick walled hdpe with internal weld beads
removed to discourage abrasion related wear. Overflows
can be fabricated in a low resistance, one piece format
from pipe that is bent 180 degrees or they can be made
using bends and pipe.
GFR has manufactured cyclone overflows to exacting
standards for many years. In both Australia and overseas,
many end users receive outstanding service from GFR
overflows.
Flowmeters
GFR can supply and /or fabricate flow meters and flumes
for all sizes and applications. From every day applications
such as water meters through to high volume flumes for
chemical applications.
If you can supply details of your requirement, we will
match a unit to suit your needs.

Machine Guards
Machine guards in HDPE : Safer, lighter, longer lasting, more
cost effective.
Machine and belt guards made from engineering plastics offer
many benefits over their steel predecessors:
• Low friction resistance allows for simpler and easier
cleaning. This is especially important in dusty conditions.
• Yellow coloured, UV stabilised hdpe means that the guard
never needs to be painted.
• HDPE does not corrode hence service life is increased over
steel units. Also, there are no unsafe jagged edges caused
by corrosion
• Servicing of machinery is simplified with the use of the
much lighter plastic guards. In many cases the need for
cranage is negated due to the lightness of the guards with
simpler JSA’s appreciated by many site personnel.
• Retrofitting in plastic means that modifications can be
easily carried out in manufacture. This could include clear
polycarbonate viewing windows etc.
GFR machine guards are unique. Your guards are full –
penetration extrusion welded to the exacting DVS standards.
Protect your people and your machinery with GFR belt guards.

This is from actual measured mean wall temperatures at the top of the pipe on Australian
sites when the water is not flowing through a pipeline. The Australian Standards
recommends that the highest operating temperature shall be used as the design
temperature. When the pumps are started the pipeline will be operating at this
temperature until the cooler water has been able to reduce the pipe wall temperatures.
This is the actual measured midwall temperature when the pumps are started until the
flowing water has cooled the pipe wall.

Note:
Polyethylene pipe over PN6.3 can cope with full vacuum. Vacuum is described as zero
pressure (minus one atmosphere). The actual vacuum on site varies with barometric
pressure for the day.
The negative pressure has been calculated based upon immersion in water at 30C wall
temperature. The pipe is assumed to have a 3% ovality.
As polyethylene is less dense than water, the pipe will float on the water surface. The end
of the pipe should therefore be inverted to ensure the suction pipe is continuously full of
water.
10-10
Polyethylene Flange Connections
Flanges must be installed correctly to ensure damage does not occur during operation.
Incorrect installation is the most common cause of flange joint failure. To avoid this, the
following procedure should be used:
1. The flange should be assembled to the mating flange prior to welding the stub flange
to the pipeline. If this is not practical the pipeline should be snaked a sufficient distance
from the joint to ensure the stub can be brought squarely up to the mating flange.
2. The flange assembly must be lifted AT THE PIPE and BROUGHT SQUARELY UP TO TOUCH
the mating flange PRIOR to bolting. Bringing the flanges into contact with the mating
flange using the bolts can result in breakage of stub during operation.
3. With the seal lined up, insert all bolts and tighten them until firm taking care not to
damage the seal. Washers should be used under all bolts heads and nuts.

Chemical Resistance
The following list has been collated from several sources and is based where possible, on results of actual
installations. Changes to the composition of the medium or special working conditions could lead to
deviations. If in doubt a pilot test should be carried out to confirm compatibility. No guarantees can be
given in respect of the information contained in this list.
CLASSIFICATION
+ Resistant: When installed to this manual or the Australian Standard the media
has no effect of insignificant effect on the polyethylene pipe.
0 Conditionally Resistant: The medium can cause the pipe to swell. The pressure and
temperature should be restricted and the life of the pipeline limited
taking expected service into account.
- Not Recommended: This medium should not be used with polyethylene pipe or fittings.
No information: was available where no recommendation has been made.
General effect of chemicals on polyethylene pipe:

Resistant: Water, solutions of inorganic salts, weak acids, strong organic acids,
strong alkaline solutions, aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Has limited resistance: Lower alcohols, ester ketones, ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons, mineral
oil.
In most cases non-resistant: Light naphtha, fuel mixture.
Completely non-resistant: Unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbons, turpentine.
