Wavin HDPE soil waste and vent above ground drainage system provides a solution to the removal of domestic waste water and rainwater from residential and commercial properties using plastic piping systems.

Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (PE HD), the tough and durable HDPE system offers and extraordinary chemical resistance in combination with a high flexibility level and great impact resistance. Wavin HDPE pipes and fittings are jointed by welding, making the joints resistant to tension.

Features and Benefits:

Temperature resistances – resistance to temperatures of up to 90°C continuous temperature and 100°C short term conditions and also withstand freezing of internal waters

Flexibility – Well suited to assemblies subjected to vibration. Ideal for use is seismic zones and across expansion joints

UV resistance – With the addition of a percentage of carbon black, HDPE is UV-stabilised and can therefore be installed outdoors without degradation problems

Ease of Welding – HDPE can be welded both by butt welding and with electrofusion joints

Low weight – the lightness makes transportation and handling easy

Use of adhesives – Due to its high resistance to chemical agents, HDPE cannot be jointed with adhesives

Impact resistance – HDPE’s elasticity gives pipes a high impact strength at temperatures as low as -40°C. This ruggedness makes handling of pipes easy during installation

Smooth bore – The smooth surface of HDPE allows for both an optimum flow of any type of waste material and self-cleaning of pipes

Fire hazards – HDPE doesn’t use any toxic gases during combustion

Wavin HDPE connection seals – Quick-fit coupling and expansion joint seals remain resistant to waste water from house hold appliances, laboratories and hospitals. The seals are produced from an elastomer which guarantees sealing and durability even in extreme conditions
