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
