    Description of basic system

    The basic range o Uponor products

    includes all system components de-

    signed or dierent uses in a varietyo applications, e.g. tapwater and

    radiator connection as well as radi-

    ant heating/cooling.

    Description pipe

    The Uponor multi-layer composite

    pipe (MLCP) is a pipe generation

    that unites the advantages o a

    plastic and metal pipe and thereore

    oers a high degree o fexibility

    and toughness, coupled with highpressure and temperature resistance.

    The Uponor MLC pipe consists o a

    longitudinal saety welded alumini-

    um pipe, to which an inner and out-

    er layer o high temperature resist-

    ant polyethylene is applied (in

    accordance with DIN 16833). Owing

    to the specic orm o the octene

    side chains in the molecular struc-

    ture o the material, a similar eect

    is achieved when polyethylene is

    cross-linked.

    All layers are permanently bounded

    together by means o an intermedi-

    ate adhesive layer. A special welding

    technique guarantees a maximum o

    saety. The thickness o the alumini-

    um selected or the Uponor MLC

    pipe is exactly adapted to the com-

    pressive strength requirements as

    well as the bending capability.

    Smaller dimensions o MLC pipes are

    designed so that the aluminium layer

    neutralises the snap-back orces o

    the plastic material, enabling easier

    pipe installation with minimal eort.

    Larger dimensions o MLC pipes and

    straight lengths o pipes have a

    greater aluminium layer thickness,

    making them stier and suitable or

    use as risers. The aluminium pipe is

    important or heat expansion. Ow-

    ing to the permanent bond between

    plastic and aluminium, thermal ex-

    pansion is determined by the expan-

    sion actor o the aluminium and

    roughly corresponds to that o a

    metal pipe, i.e. only 1/7th o theexpansion o a pure plastic pipe.

    This oers advantages or pipe in-

    stallation, since the use o compen-

    sating points is largely unnecessary.

    The smoothness o the inner plastic

    layer oers water no points o at-

    tack. Incrustration and corrosion are

    prevented in normal use. The trans-

    mission o fow noise or noise, e.g.

    emitted by circulating pumps, is re-

    duced to a minimum due to the spe-

    cic properties o the raw material.

    The most important advantages o-

    ered by MLC pipes are:

    Absolutely diusion-tight,

    exceed the requirements o

    DIN 4726

    Hygienicly harmless

    Minimal roughness k = 0.0004 mm

    ensuring less pipe riction and

    lower pressure losses

    and reduction o snap-back orces

    Highly fexible, making smaller

    dimensions (up to 32 x 3 mm)

    simple to bend by hand or with

    the corresponding toolHeat expansion similar to that o

    metals, enabling larger pipe clip

    distances

    Clean and easy to install, no

    welding, soldering, thread cut-

    ting or bonding

    The DGVW approval permits the use

    o Uponor MLC pipe or drinking

    water supply systems according to

    DIN 1988 TRWI. The approval in-

    cludes a positive assessment o the

    material according to the law gov-

    erning plastic articles or ood use in

    Description of basic system

    Press ttings

    The patented MLCP pressing system

    enables connections to be estab-

    lished within a matter o seconds

    without welding or soldering. The

    externally xed press sleeve, which

    is permanently connected to the

    tting, oers protection against

    mechanical infuences on the

    o-rings. The press sleeve has

    inspection windows to check the

    insertion depth o the pipe in the

    tting beore pressing. The plastic

    stop ring on the shaped aluminium

    press sleeve simplies the task o

    attaching the pressing jaws. The

    stop rings are colour coded to

    ensure an optical press marking.

    Ater the pressing procedure the

    rings all o. The pressing jaws and

    the stop rings o the same dimen-

    sion have been marked with the

    same colour code. Ater installation,

    the connection is capable o

    ab-sorbing bending orces, due to

    the orm stable press sleeve,

    without any leakage occurring.

    Ater pressing the pipe can be

    readjusted.

    Compression ttings

    The MLC range o compression t-

    tings is designed to enable all con-

    ventional applications.

    MLC compression ttings press the

    insert part (2) with xed closed

    clamp ring (3) on to the MLC pipe

    by tightening the swivel nut (1).

    The compression tting can be

    released again; whereas the insert

    part, made o PPSU, remains per-

    manently connected to the pipe.

    All inch compression adapters in-

    clude eurocone threaded parts.

    Both press and compression ttings

    are permanently tight as conrmed

    by SKZ test reports and DVGW

    certicates.

    Quality control

    Constant quality controls beore

    and during production:

    Online inspections using special

    cameras, ball test, spiral test,

    measurement and tensile test.

    In the works laboratory: Raw

    material testing, pipe tests using

    test piece (peeling test, thick-

    ness gauging), pressure and

    temperature tests and hot stor-

    age test.

    Tests carried out by neutral Ger-

    man and international test insti-

    tutes.

    According to the DVGW worksheet

    W 542, the minimum long-time

    rupture strength o multi-layer

    composite pipes in drinking water

    distribution systems must be veri-ed over a period o minimum 50

    years. For this purpose, an inde-

    pendent test institute perorms a

    number o tests and prepares the

    resulting internal pressure resistance

    diagrams.

    These values are provided by the

    SKZ or Uponor MLCP. In addition

    to urther tests, the values shown in

    the long-time internal pressure dia-

    grams orm the basis or the issu-

    ance o the DVGW system test mark

    or MLCP with associated connec-

    tors. Together with the test institute

    and DVGW, Uponor is constantly

    working on pipe system tests in

    conormance with the associated

    worksheets o the DVGW.

    The aim o these endeavours is to

    assure the quality o all currently

    approved MLCP products as well as

    extending the DVGW approval to

    new parts, ttings and pipe dimen-sions in the MLCP range o products.

    short-term malunction temperature is 95C o a maximum o 150 hours in the operating time per year.

    * In some special products the permanent operating pressure is lower than 10 bars. Please have a look on the pipe marking.

    In case o exceeding the maximum permanent operating temperatures e.g. in solar systems or district heating systems, the Uponor MLCP

    system cant be connected directly to this kind o systems. It has to be ensured that in every situation the maximum limits o use o the

    Uponor MLCP system are not exceeded. In case o other use o the Uponor MLCP system Uponor has to be consulted.

    The thermal expansion resulting

    rom the mode o operation must be

    taken into account in the design o

    the pipe layout. The temperature

    dierence t and pipe length L play

    a decisive role in thermal expansion.

    For all installation variants, the ther-

    mal expansion o MLC pipes must

    be taken into account. For pipes in-

    tended or concealed installation or

    installation in screed, the thermal

    expansion is absorbed by insulation

    in the area o directional change.

    The thermal expansion is calculatedaccording to the ollowing ormula:

    l = x L x t

    Where the ollowing are:

    l: Thermal expansion (mm)

    : Thermal expansion coecient

    (0.025 mm/(m x K))

    L: Pipe length (m)

    t: Temperature dierence (K)

    For the planning and installation o

    distributing and rising mains with

    MLC pipes, in addition to the struc-

    tural requirements, also thermal ex-

    pansion aspects must be taken into

    account.

    Rigid installation with MLC pipe is

    not possible. Thermal expansion othe pipes must always be absorbed

    or controlled.

    Exposed MLC pipes ully exposed to

    thermal expansion, must be provid-

    ed with appropriate expansion com-

    pensation. For this purpose, a

    knowledge o the position o all

    xed points is necessary. Compensa-

    tion always takes place between two

    xed points (FP) and directional

    changes (bending leg BS).

    MLC pipe pressure-loss graph

    The pressure-loss graph shows the

    pipe-conduit characteristics or MLC

    pipe, along with the various dimen-

    sions and fow-rate limits.

    Using the graph, it is simple to as-

    certain the pipe-riction resistance

    per metre - or a given volume fow

    - relative to the dimensions o the

    pipe and the fow rate.

    All tanks, equipment and fittings, e.g. safety valve and expansion tanks, which are not suitable for the pressure test, must be removed

    from the system during the test period. The system is filled with filtered water and completely vented. A visual inspection of the pipe

    joints must be made during the test. After the test pressure has been reached a suitable time must elapse to allow for temperature

    equalisation between the ambient temperature and the temperature of the fill water.

    If necessary, the test pressure must be re-established after the waiting period.
