1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This second issue of PA 1112 is an update and revision of the previous Appraisal published in October 2012. Certificates and literature have also been updated.

Metaval Consolidated Pty Ltd is a privately owned Australian company established in 1967 and is the Agent and Distributor for VAG-Armaturen GmbH products within Australia.

VAG headquarters is located in Mannheim, Germany with manufacturing sites in Germany, the Czech Republic, China, USA and South Africa and sales offices located around the world. VAG’s roots go back to 1872 and the company claims to be a modern solutions provider for water and wastewater projects. Its products include gate valves, knife gate valves, penstocks, hydrants, house connection valves, non-return valves, butterfly valves, air valves, control valves and various pipeline fittings and accessories.

This Appraisal submission is for the BAIO®plus restrained joint system, including polymeric coated ductile iron fittings and jointing mechanisms for DN 80 to DN 200 polyethylene pipe and ISO sized Ductile Iron pipe.

VAG BAIO® BETA® 200 Resilient Seated Gate Valves are also available in sizes DN 80 - DN 200. These gate valves are manufactured to EN 1074.2 Valves for water supply, however have not been appraised to AS/NZS 2638.2 Gate valves for water works purposes.

The VAG BAIO®plus System includes fittings with a socket-spigot elastomeric joint incorporating restraint capability provided by a bayonet locking mechanism. The socket profile can be fitted with a GKS (transition type) gasket to join polyethylene (PE) pipe or a TYTON® gasket to join ISO size Ductile Iron (DI) pipe or fittings and valve spigots.

The BAIO®plus System provides for two different connection types to effect restraint after jointing:

1. The ‘frictionally engaged exterior interlock’ type (BAIO®stop) uses a tension ring and a clamping (locking) ring to secure the pipe spigot to the socket. This system may be utilised with Series 1 PE 100 pipe to AS/NZS 4130 or ISO sized DI pipe to EN 545. The clamping ring is the same for both types of pipe, however the elastomeric sealing gasket and tension ring must be selected to suit the specific pipe type and outside diameter. It is mandatory that a supporting sleeve is inserted into the PE pipe when jointing to a BAIO®plus socket.

2. The ‘positive interior interlock’ type uses a bayonet principle to anchor valve or fitting spigots to the socket. The spigots are provided with cast on lugs that are inserted into the pre-chamber of the socket profile and rotated 45o to provide self-restraint.

Note: The jointing system is not compatible for use with DI pipe and fittings manufactured to AS/NZS 2280 or Australian Standard PVC pipes used within Australia. Any reference to PVC pipes in the VAG literature should be disregarded.

The range of fittings submitted for appraisal is DN 80, DN 100, DN 125, DN 150 and DN 200, rated as PN 16.

Refer to Section 3 for details of the fittings range and jointing mechanisms.

The ductile iron fittings are manufactured to comply with both EN 12842:2012 Ductile iron fittings for PVC-U or PE piping systems - requirements and test methods and EN 545:2010 Ductile iron pipes, fittings, accessories and their joints for water pipelines-requirements and test methods.

The fittings are fully coated with Akzo Nobel Resicoat R4 fusion bonded epoxy applied to EN 14901:2006. See Section 6.2.6 for further details.


COPYRIGHT

Flanges on the fittings are cast to EN 1092-2 and drilled for compatibility with AS 4087 PN 16 (Fig B5). See Section 6.2.7 for further details.
