quick - simple - toolless connection
2. Chamfering of the pipe
3. Attach the adaptor
4. Attach the adapter to the module until you hear the Click
1. Cut the pipe to length
iFIT-Presentation 9March 2005 GF Piping Systems
Disassembly possible
3. Replace the pipe
4. Remove the half shelves
5. Pullout the nipple
2. Screw off the body
1. Open the body with a tong

Fully developed construction
Tensil tests with multi-layer pipe d16. The pipe breakes at a tensile force of 300 kg, the connection remains intact!
Safe sealing:
double (sealing on the inside) O-ring sealing
Safe fixation:
well-tried and proven fixation mechanism

Fully developed construction
T-piece: demolition testsT-piece does not break off!
Mechanical stress under a pressure of20 bars
Destruction tests
Pipe with T-pieces
Squeeze test with a T-piece out of plastic:T-piece does not break off
iFIT-Presentation 16March 2005 GF Piping Systems
Test installations under different weather conditions
Test installation outside: in contact with building material (e.g. gypsum, polyurethane foam, etc.)
In operation since April 2002.
Fully developed construction
iFIT-Presentation 17March 2005 GF Piping Systems
Application safety means...
Application tests
More than 1000 connections on prototypes where tested from independent installers !
iFIT-Presentation 18March 2005 GF Piping Systems
Extensive field testing
Application safety means…
• Oktober 2003 - April 2004
• ca. 60 field test sites
• ca. 8000 connections
• no leaks
• suitability for building sites confirmed
iFIT-Presentation 19March 2005 GF Piping Systems
Tested and approved
