Geberit HDPE jointing methods Overview

The many Geberit jointing methods offer solutions for all situations.

Butt weld Electroweld sleeve coupling

Ring-seal socket Screw-threaded joint

Linear expansion socket

Flange joint Contraction sleeve Coupling for PE-Silentand adaptor only

These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to the way inwhich they are assembled as follows:

a) To be openedJointing methods which can be disconnected after assembly.

b) Not to be openedJointing methods which cannot be disconnected after assembly.

c) Tension-resistantConnections which withstand tensional forces.

d) Non-tension-resistantConnections which cannot withstand tensional forces.

Use

Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous bene-fits of prefabrication; HDPE needs no other component in order to be welded.

It can be used in all circumstances where prefabrication is used on site or in theworkshop.

The essential conditions for a perfect weld are:

• Cleanliness of the welding plate and the parts which are to be welded.

• A correct welding plate temperature.

• The correct pressure for jointing the parts.

• The parts to be welded must be cut square <) 90°.

Butt welding takes up little space. The edge of the weld does not obstruct thepipe, leaving its internal cross-section virtually unchanged. Even quite complica-ted distribution parts can be assembled in a small space, without wastage ofmaterial, because lengths of pipe or elbow sections can be easily reusedthrough butt welding.

The allowance for butt welds is approx. as big as the wall thickness of the pipe.

b) not to be openedc) tension-resistant

Use

On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outsidediameter provides a great advantage.

Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The jointobtained is simple, quick and reliable.

The heating and melting zone is divided into two fields, as there are no electricalresistances in the centre of the sleeve. This provides a very satisfactory safetyfactor.

Also the ends of the pipes are not heated, the zones remain effectively cold,and provide further reinforcement, thus cancelling out shrinkage of the pipe.

The pressure required for welding is obtained from the shrinking effect of thesleeve when it is heated, and is evenly distributed over the entire weld. Thisshrinkage has a compensating effect on pipe diameter measurement toleran-ces.

The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been madethey are entirely covered by PE.

The use of original Geberit equipement, especially tempered Geberit HDPEpipes, are recommended for correct welding.

Electrical sleeves can be made to slide by removing the central stop ring, thusmaking system conversion and repair work easier.

The stop ring can easily be removed with a screwdriver.

Assembly instructions are the same for both ring-seal sockets and screw-threadedjoints, 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 socketgoverns 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, thesocket seal has very satisfactory resistance to heat and no shrinkage of the O-ringoccurs. The O-ring has a round seat regardless of pipe movements. The O-ring remains fixed inthe seat and is always in contact with the pipe.

Protection cap

Length «X» varies with the diameter Ideal fitting is obtained by chamfering the pipeend to approximately 15°, lubricating it withsoft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. Do not usemineral oil or grease which can damage therubber seal.

Use

Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screw-threa-ded joint by axial tensile forces a flange bushing must be used to ensure thatthe connection will resist these forces. It is also recommended that a screw-threaded joint with flange bushing should be used when installing in floors orslabs, where the length of pipe between two connections (elbows, branches orsleeves) is longer than 2 metres.

Expansion socket

Available from Ø 40 to 315 mm.

Connection properties

b) not to be openedd) non-tension-resistant

Use

An expansion socket is recommended between anchor brackets, particularly oninstallations assembled with rigid joints and where excessive thermal movementis anticipated. At least one expansion joint must be provided on vertical stacks running fromfloor to floor, long collector pipelines and before connecting to the buried drainpipework.

Different conditions apply for underground installations. For this application fieldsee page 49.

Installation

Can be used either vertically or horizontally. One advantage is the depth of thesleeve which makes the assembly of downpipes and mains easier, allowingboth vertical and horizontal corrections (e.g. in level, and in the precise positio-ning of the direction of branches and elbows).

A firm anchor bracket must always be located behind the expansion socket toavoid any movement of the socket in the event of expansion or contraction.

The special shape of the seal allows the pipe to slide within the socket duringexpansion and contraction, ensuring that the connection remains perfectlywatertight even under heavy hydraulic load.

Horizontal assembly (e.g. at 20°C)

Example: Insertion depth in an ambient temperature of 20°C(Vertical assembly).

The following conditions are important to ensure perfect and easy assembly ofthe sleeve:

1. Chamfering the inserted pipe end to approximate <) 15°.

2. Check the scale on the outer surface of the expansion socket for insertion depth.

3. Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe.

4. Lubricate the pipe end well with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline.N.B. Do not use oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal.

For more information see pages 22, 28, 44 and 49.

A special expansion socket with stainless steel protection for the rubber sealcan be used for heavy duty industrial and laboratory applications.

UseThe Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve is a convenient connection possibility formost uneven, irregular or special materials.A common additional application method is also the connection from HDPE to different clay ware apparatus, e. g. for Laboratory sinks.

InstallationThe enclosed rubber ring will be placed over the pipe end. Make sure that the rubber ring will be placed in the middle of the sleeve length (h2). Then push thecontraction sleeve over the pipe end. Apply low heat (approx. 125°C) evenly around the socket, moving the blow lamp constantly.The sleeve will now shrink and give an absolute watertight and strong connection. Afterwards fix the contraction sleeve pipe with an anchor bracket.

The table beside shows the correct pipe nipple diameter required depending on distance «L» to effectively withstand thrust force «P».

The main purpose of the anchor bracket is to prevent any movement of the expansion socket.

The distance «L» and the thrust forces «P» have to be taken in account, when selecting the diameter of the pipe nipple between mounting plate andbracket.

The thrust force «P» is the slide resistance between rubber seal and HDPE pipe.This force depends on the pipe diameter.

Embedded fixed points

Principal: Any variation in length must be prevented by embedded fixed points in concrete (e. g. electroweld sleeve couplings,branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provision of corresponding fixed point structures.

B Embedding in concrete

Basically Geberit HDPE material absorbs within itself thermal movement due toits high elasticity. However, in the case of large diameters (e.g. 315 mm) the forces «P» (resultingfrom expansion and contraction) are considerable. They must be absorbed by the embedded fixpoints alone, since cement/concrete will not adhere toHDPE pipework.

Since the fitting has to act as a fixpoint, do not insulate it.

Under no circumstances should a ring seal or expansionsocket be embedded in concrete.

Reduced small branches of large pipe diameters must be securedby an additional anchor point (electroweld sleeve couplings orcollar bushes) to prevent shearingoff of the branch.

Branch equal Branch equal with reducer

32

HDPE encased in concrete

Geberit HDPE pipes and fittings have been cast in concrete extensively throughout the world over the past 40 years.

Polyethylene as a raw material has the advantage of accommodating thermal expansion and contraction within the molecular structure due to its very high elasticity characteristics. The Geberit raw material is water rejectant and will not swell even when stored in water for very long periods.

The following information explains in detail the installation process as required by the relevant Standards.

Note: AS/NZS 3500.2:2003 specifies:Clause 9.4.3 High density polyethylene (HDPE) ...(iii) when fully encased in concrete structures, subject to the approval of a structural engineer, pipes and fittings shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Note: AS/NZS 2033:2008 specifies:Clause 5.3.6 Encasement in concreteWhere pipes are to be encased in concrete precautions shall be taken to prevent movement, flotation or deformation of pipes while pouring concrete.

Setting of Geberit HDPE pipes in concrete

All rigidly jointed pipework (e.g. butt and electrofusion welded) may be completely enclosed in concrete within the building structure without a protection layer (e.g. lagging). The installation and the structure have to be designed for such total enclosure. The thrust forces generated from the expansion and contraction of the pipework have to be taken into consideration with this installation method (see Geberit Application Technique page 31). The manufacturer’s and engineer’s recommendations shall be strictly followed in such applications.

Note: Refer also to AS/NZS3500.2

Special application fieldsUnderground drainage pipes for housing

Underground drainage pipes of Geberit HDPE

Not only has Geberit HDPE provenitself excellently for many years fordrainage systems inside of buildingssuch as:– soil and waste stacks– vent pipes– connection and branch pipes– collector pipes

but it is also suitable for under-ground applications as:– ground pipes– domestic drainage pipes

Criteria for underground drainage pipes

1. Tightness

Environmental protection regulations do not permit leaking drainagepipes.

Geberit HDPE is a reliable water drainage system which assures maximum dependability with regardto tightness.

2. Resistance to chemicals

Geberit HDPE provides the assu-rance of universal resistanceto the greatly diversified types ofchemical attack by the disposalwater, as well as by external factors(acidic soils).

3. Flexibility

Geberit HDPE is a flexible, operatio-nally reliable drainage system, evenin soils in which a certain degree of settling of ground must be anti-cipated.

4. Resistance to frost

Geberit HDPE has proven itself excellently for many years in frost endangered soils such as in Scandinavia. It can be used in tem-peratures ranging down to –40°.

5. Material

As in domestic drainage systems,the quality of the material is themain criterion for underground

applications. In addition to theattack from the inside, the pipesare also subjected to attacks fromoutside. Geberit HDPE excellentlystands up to all these requirements.

1 Ground acids 2 Stray currents3 Disposal water (with chemical

and thermal attack)4 No enter of roots

6. Friendly to the environmentThe Geberit HDPE drainage systemscomply with environmental regulations.

Guidelines for laying drainage pipes

TrenchThe trench is to be dugas narrow as possible –but not narrower than thepipe diameter + 40 cm.The floor of the trenchmust be level and freefrom rocks and looseclumps. Correct elevationand slope are also impor-tant.

1 B = Bedding Under normal soil condi-tions the trench is provi-ded with a bedding layerof round gravel (gradingup to 30 mm) or of bro-ken material (grading upto 10 mm) of a thicknessof approx. 100 mm. Thebedding layer must becompacted and tamped.In certain cases it will beneccessary to reinforcethe ground.

2 U = Underpinning After the pipe has beenlaid, recesses are to beprovided for sockets andflanges so that the pipe issupported along its entirelength. The underpinning isto be done with a tampingpost or the like. It must bedone very carefully. If seve-ral pipes are laid, makesure that the lowest one isfully covered before theone above is placed. Thepipe must lay flat, and itmust be installed with thecorrect slope.

3 C = Consolidation layer The material is to be filledin layers of approx. 100mm thickness. Tampingcan be done by stampingwith the feet, or with aspecial tool. The purposeof this material is to helpprevent the pipe fromdeforming, so that it mustbe compacted well onboth sides at the sametime .

P = Protective layer Now fill in a layer of thesame material (must notcontain rocks whichcould cause point loadingof the pipe) of at least300 cm. Attention: To prevent thepipe from rising thetrench is to be finish-filledon the same day up toand including the protec-tion layer.

5 HS = Safety marginheightFor the further filling the available material is to beused. The trench must notcontain rocks which can-not be lifted by hand.As soon as permitted by the safety margin height, this compacting can be done by machine. Theregulations and byelawson the refilling of trenchesare to be observed.

6 Distribution of ground pressureThe ground pressure and ground load distribution are gover-ned essentially by thecompaction. For calcu-lation the appropriatestandards and the local building and safety regulations are to beobserved.

Inground installation ofGeberit expansion sockets

In addition to the butt-welded and electrically welded connection, the expansion socket is an idealconnection in inground drainagesystems. Since in such systems lower temperature differences areusually encountered than in stacks and connector pipes, smaller length variations can be accounted for.

Therefore, in inground installations,the distance between expansionsockets can be longer.

The values are calculated accor-ding to the formula

In such cases Geberit HDPE is an ideal material, since it assures tightness and at the same time provides maximum flexibility.

Deflection leg The length of the deflection leg is dependent upon the expected settling and on the pipe diameter.

Length DL = 10 · |/ ∆ S ·

Note: The insulation must be thicker than the expected settling.

Stack

The Geberit ball junctions allow designers and plumbers the opportunity to create compact installations. The increased diameter of the intersection area provides for a smoother and less critical side entry of the waste water into the stack. In particular, installations where the branch lines have the same diameter as the stack.

Connections directly opposite, (180°) should be avoided where possible. However such installations must be carried out only in accordance with the guidelines items 2 and following below. A better way of connecting is by using the offset ball junctions. Geberit ball junctions are designed for the application in stacks only and should not be used as back to back toilet connectors nor should any stack be connected to a side entry.

1. The offset ball junction is generally the best way of connecting different types of fixtures to the stack. Fixtures of different types, unequal fixture unit rating and different diameters should only be connected on the opposite side of a ball junction at an entry angle of not more than 135°.

2. Connections directly opposite (180°) on a ball junction should only be used for connecting fixtures of the same kind or with the same fixture unit rating and same pipe diameter (eg. soil fixture opposed soil fixture, waste fixture opposed waste fixture).

2a. It is essential to observe the arrangement of directly opposed connections. Geberit does allow the following exceptions (subject to local authorities approval):

Refer to item 6., figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 (page xx) over the page.

3. Any fixture trap connected to a ball junction should have a minimum height difference of the inside diameter (DI) of the connecting pipe. This is measured from the lowest point where the pipe is joined onto the stack to the water seal of the fixture trap. See 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, for examples.

3a. This can be achieved via a step up in the pipe work with appropriate fittings before the fixture trap (see drawing opposite).

3b. If the total gradient (height difference) of the pipe work from stack to the water seal of the fixture trap meets the required height difference.

Note: The maximum allowable gradient or distance to the stack should not be exceeded.

3c. If there is more than one fixture connected to the same line, the requirement as outlined in 3 must be met for each fixture trap.

Clause 6.6.5.1

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.

Low pressure installation

Low pressure application

Discharge pipeline of a pump set

Generally the Geberit HDPE product range is designed for water drainagesystems. For the low pressure range, e. g. swimming pool, pipework through circulationpumps, Geberit has established maximum admissible stressing values for anendurance life of 10 years.

Pressure max. 1,5 bar

Temperature max. 30°C

Longtermrupture strength 10 years

All connections must be butt weld joints, electroweld sleeve couplings or flange joints.

Suitable fitting range for low pressure application see page 4.

The Geberit HDPE range of products can also be used for the discharge pipeline of a pump set, provided that the mechanical stress is low, only of shorttime and no thermal loaded medium (e.g. warm water) is pumped.

When designing discharge pipelines for drainage pumps the following importantpoints should be observed:

1. The discharge pipeline has to be installed higher than the lowest installedappliance by means of a pipe loop.

2. If the flow rate is smaller than 5 l/s the vertical fall section of the pipe loophas to be increased.

3. If the flow rate is above 5 l/s the vertical stack has to be vented with aventilation pipe of at least 50 mm inside diameter.

4. Long horizontal collector pipes have to be vented. The minimal inner diameter of the vent pipe must be 57 mm or 2 dimensions smaller thanthe discharge pipe.The ventilation pipe must be higher than the total delivery head of thepump and must go above the roof.

Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand external pressures according to the tablebelow depending on the pipe diameter.

The maximum level of the groundwater table has to be taken into account whendesigning Geberit HDPE pipelines in a groundwater area.

Internal negative pressures Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand internal negative pressure according to thetable above depending on the pipe diameter.

Geberit HDPE pipes are sometimes used as suction pipelines for pumpsets. The higher the suction lift is, the higher the negative pressure inside the pipeline.Important with such an installation is that the foot valve and strainer are notblocked. Foot valve and strainer of the suction pipeline should be kept free from debris,possible blockage could lead to additional pressure increase.

Ecological properties of Geberit HDPE

Polyethylene (PE) is a simple compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms, harmless to man, animals and plants.

PE 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 cop-per pipes.

58

PE 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.

Comments on the individual properties

Geberit High Density Polyethylene HDPE: Density 951 – 955 kg/m3 The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 – 960 kg/m3. The Geberit typeat up to 955 kg/m3, is of the hard quality and has increased durability properties.HDPE is lighter than water, which is beneficial particularly with regard to transportationand installation.

Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG)The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (shortening of dimensions) afterheat load in the plastic pipe, is to take preventative measures during manufacture. Geberit HDPE pipes are therefore stored in hot water baths after manufacture. This process increases the safety of the joints, as there is no chance of joints pullingapart later due to shortening of length.

Resistance to cold When Geberit HDPE parts are filled with water and then freeze, they stretch elasticallyas the ice expands. Once the ice melts, they resume their original shape, remainingcompletely intact and undamaged.

FlexibilityThe flexibility of the piping material can be the main criterion in certain buildings or onbridges, especially when pipes have to pass through expansion joints or are in buildings, which are subject to traffic vibration.

Melt-flow index 0,4 – 0,5 g/10 min. This describes the working properties of the pipe and at the same time gives information on the molecular weight, which is crucial for a number of raw material properties. The smaller the melt-flow index, the higher the molecular weight and thusthe pipe’s resistance to stress corrosion.

Heat conductivity 0,43 W/m · K HDPE is a bad heat conductor; for this reason the pipe does not become completelywarmed through when heat loaded for a short period. Heat loss is about 90% less, for instance, than a similar copper pipe.

60

Comments on the individual properties

Heat expansion 0,17 mm/m · K Heat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50°C increasein temperature, an expansion of 10 mm of linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.

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

Resistance to impact Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very high even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. –40°C) and thus meets the requirements for outlet pipes.

CondensateGeberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during short periods of undercooling.

Resistance to radioactive effluents There is no risk of damage as a result of slightly radioactive water. However, pleaseask the manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.

Resistance to abrasion Drainage systems are increasingly becoming hidden refuse chutes. A pipe’s resistanceto abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch pipes, soil stacks and ground pipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer additional protection.

61

Comments on the individual properties

Non-conductivePlastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry. HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.

Sealing material Although the chemical resistance of the seal does not equal that of HDPE, there is norisk of the seal being destroyed, because the rubber ring is installed under com-pression on all sides and therefore cannot swell. In addition, the wetting factor of therubber ring in the joint is very low. Many years of experience have shown that the sealing material can endure even the harshest conditions. NB: Such conditions do not occur in drainage pipes. Free halogens (chlorine, bromine etc.) cause halogenised polyethylene and hydrogenhalide to form at room temperature. The halogenised polyethylene has different physical and chemical properties from the original hydrocarbon, but the polymer is not destroyed. Geberit HDPE should therefore not be used at all in areas where free halogens are produced or used. The only criteria to be observed here are the purposefor which the pipe is intended and the concentration of halogens.

Solar radiation Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UVrays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.

NoiseHDPE is a soft material with a low E-modulus. HDPE limits solid-borne conduction, but airborne noise should be insulated. This can be done by means of the duct wall,HDPE Silent or Geberit Isol.

Chemical resistance Because of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals. Its resistance can be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in all inorganic and organic solutions at 20°C. Geberit HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic andaromatic 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 overlong periods at room temperature.

Behaviour in fire Plastics are inflammable. However, the classification of plastics according to the usual fire test for construction materials does not permit a valid statement on the behaviourof plastic construction parts in the event of a fire.

62

Comments on the individual properties

Protection against blockages HDPE’s water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard. – Rapid outflow of water – Prevention of deposits

Welding temperature Thermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperaturesrequired are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature for HDPE is approximately 230°C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.

Non-toxicPlastics are well suited for use in the food industry as packaging material, containers,bottles etc. Geberit HDPE pipes are used for milk transportation lines in mountainareas and in the food canning and packing industry.

Scope of use Geberit HDPE pipes are designed for drainage systems. Their use in low-pressureareas (swimming pools, transportation lines etc.) is subject to a maximum pressure load of 15 m Water Column (1,5 bar) and a temperature of 30°C (10 years). There is also a certain range of moulded fittings.

PaintingGeberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibili-ty of the material both have a negative impact on paint. If painting is unavoidable, thepaint product to be used should be tested for compatibility with the HDPE.

TightnessMany years of experience with welding HDPE-Pipes, have shown that the butt weldsdo not give any problems as the welding parts are circular on the inside and do notadd to the normal risk of blocking.

63

The importance of tempering

Manufacturing process ofHDPE pipes

As a result of manufacturing, the molecule chains are stretched and than cooled down from about 230°C to 40°C. This enormous drop in temperature results in tensile stresses which are «frozen in» by the coolingdown process.

When hot water flows through a streched pipe or the pipe is heated up by doing a welding joint, e.g. with an electroweld sleeve coupling, the expanded molecules relax and return to their normal state. The pipe becomes shorter.

Stretched molecules after manufacturing(non tempered pipes)

Without tempering, shortening of dimensions can create gaps between pipeand fitting, pipes can be pulled apart

Effects of annealing of Geberit HDPEpipes

Molecules after Geberit annealing process(all Geberit HDPE pipes)

The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat shortening of dimensions afterheat load in the plastic pipe is to take preventative measures (Tempering)during manufacture. Geberit pipes are therefore stored in a hot water bathafter manufacture, this allows the expanded molecules to relax and return totheir normal state = No stresses on Geberit pipes.

Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress on joints and fixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements forelectroweld sleeve couplings can be met.

slightly acid

The significance of the pH value

One of the most crucial factors in selecting a material for a drainage installationis the chemical loading of the effluent being discharged.

Effluent with a low or a high pH is harmful because of its corrosive effects. E. g. some drain cleaning fluids have a pH value of up to 12.

Therefore in order to select the most suitable material to handle a specificdischarge it is important not only to know the pH value of the effluent but the chemical resistance of the pipe materials. (see Chemical Resistance tables on pages 67 to 76 to assess the performance of Geberit HDPE at various temperatures)

The pH value is therefore important in assessing the chemical level as it will indicate whether the effluent is acid, neutral or alkaline. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 (see table below). PH valve 7 neutral.

Explanation

When the pipe wall material comes into contact with substan-ces flowing through the pipe, different processes can takeplace, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), the extractionof soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or chemical reac-tions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which can sometimes causethe properties of the pipes or pipeline parts to change.

The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contactwith effluent substances can be classed as follows:

Resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being suitable

Limited resistance The suitability of the pipe wall material must be checked ineach individual case; if necessary, further tests should be carried out.

Not resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being unsuitable.

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) is a simple compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms, harmless to man, animals and plants. PE 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).
