GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
APPLICATIONS

2.1

Technical Sheet

Preserving and maintaining water quality in distribution and supply pipeworks has become an absolute priority. That
requirement naturally applies to healthcare buildings, but also to public buildings and dwellings.
The safety of pipeworks depends upon a good design and a wise selection of materials in order to prevent efficiently
bacteria proliferation risks, right from the start.

Experts recommend 3 fundamental actions to effectively restrict bacteria development in water pipeworks:
- avoid stagnation and ensure effective water circulation,
- fight against scaling and corrosion with network design and maintenance appropriate for water quality requirements and
adapted to the installations specific characteristics,
- keep the water within the pipeworks at a high temperature, or be able to elevate the temperature when required.

Domestic water networks can be treated in addition to the above: chlorine shock*, continuous chlorination*, temporary
temperature elevation (70C for 1/2 hour).
(*Treatments recommended by the French Ministry of Healths D.G.S., please consult T.S.12.1).

Therefore, the pipeworks must be corrosion proof, prevent scale, prevent biofilm development, be compatible
with chemical and thermal treatments, including cold water pipevorks.

GIRPI offers the solution to meet all of the above requirements:


SYSTEMO, a complete system for domestic hot and cold water services.
SYSTEMO consists of:

- HTA pipe (brown): the solution for hot water services.

- HTA-F pipe (caramel/orange): the solution for cold water services.

- One single range of fittings.

- The Monoklip range of pipe brackets.


- One single welding polymer.

IMPORTANT

SYSTEMO is a complete system, especially developped to bring global reliability. Therefore, all of the systems elements must
imperatively be used. The use of components of external origin will make GIRPIs guarantee null and void.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Any fluid or water containing chemical agent (in suspension or in solution) other (or in different quantities) than those
permitted by the standards and regulations concerning drinking water are considered as chemical products.
Therefore, their compatibility with HTA and HTA-F must be verified.
Refer to our table indicating the performance of C-PVC with respect to chemical agents, technical sheets 11.1 to
11.7.
If in doubt, please contact both the product supplier and GIRPI technical services.

PRODUCT QUALITY

To provide a constant quality level for its products and to guarantee its users that the stated performances are respected,
GIRPI has implemented the control regulations imposed by the different French and international standards.
The controls concern the physical and mechanical characteristics of the pipes and fittings.

However, in addition to the above verifications and to guarantee the maximum reliability level in actual operating conditions, GIRPI has developped and carries out additional tests, as per NF T 54-094 standard.
Thus, an alternate pressure test (on complete joint sections) is regularly carried out. This test simulates pressure shocks
to which our products are submitted in live pipeworks (such as pressure hammers, flow speed variations). The couplings
are subjected to water hammer pressure cycles (20/60 bar) at 3600 cycles/hour for diameters 12 to 90 and 1500
cycles/hour for diameters 110 to 160.
Furthermore, operational tests are constantly carried out on our laboratorys testing rigs. This enables us to better
guarantee the adaptation of each component in the pipework to its own function.

The ISO 9001 V2000 certified procedures applied at all stages globally guarantee the technical performances of GIRPIs
products (industrial processes, logistics) and GIRPIs Service quality (deliveries, technical assistance).

A pressure pipework can be classified as PN 16 or PN 25 (with a safety factor of 2.5 after 50 years) if it can tolerate,
during one hour, a pressure equal to 4.2 times this PN.

The readings for the breaking pressures for HTA and HTA-F are evaluated, as shown in the above regression curve,
represented by a straight line with logarithmic scale.
This straight line is drawn on the basis of 1hour, 100 h, 1000 h and 10,000 h tests, at 20C, 60C, 70C and 95C, according
to ISO 9080 standard.

WORKS ON PIPES AND FITTINGS


TOOLS

CUTTING

The roller plastic pipe-cutter

Allows for neat, clean cuts to be carried out.

The chamfering pipe-cutter

This type of tool cuts and chamfers pipes in one single operation. According to the model
and size used, it can cut and chamfer pipes from 32 to 160 mm, with the help of
reducing half-shells.

The use of disk saws to cut pipes is strictly prohibited.

TRIMMING - CHAMFERING

TANT

After cutting, the pipe must be trimmed inside and a chamfer must be made
on the outside.
These operations can be performed by means of the following tools:

IMPOR

Trimming and chamfering cone

This tool can be used to trim the inside of the pipe, and on the other side,
it chamfers the outside.
Ref. GIRPI CONE50U for pipes 16 to 50 mm

Chamfering tool

This tool chamfers the pipe outside from 32 to 160.

Ref. GIRPI CHANF160

Chamfering pipe-cutter (see cutting section).


Trimmer

This reams the inside of pipes of all diameters.


Ref. GIRPI EBAV1 20 to 160 mm

The use of tools including cutting or abrading disks to chamfer pipes is


strictly prohibited.

HOLDING TOOLS
Chain vice

Polyurethane pipe-rests hold the pipe without any scratching.

Strap wrench

Maximum gripping power, with no risk of deforming the pipes or fittings (braided
nylon strap).

Bench vice

When using such traditional vices, it is mandatory to clamp the pipes by means
of wooden notched pipe-rests.

PUSH JOINTING
STRAIGHT

CHECKS PRIOR TO WELDING

The priming operation can be replaced by the cleaning of pipes and fittings with a clean cloth if the pipes and fittings are
clean and dry, and the working zone is wholesome. Otherwise, the priming will be made with D171P cleaner to eliminate
all traces of fat (finger marks, greasy dirt,...).
Before welding it is important to make certain checks:
a) on the pipes and fittings: see that they contain no sign of impact, deep scratches, etc...
b) on the welding polymer: it must be fluid, homogeneous, check use-by date.

IMPORTANT

- Water impairs the welding polymer and subsequently the welding quality. No cold welding will therefore be made if the
parts to be assembled are damp (prior drying required).
- RERFIX can be applied when the temperature is over + 5 C and under + 35 C. Welding can take place at 0 C ambient
temperature with a welding polymer kept at 20 C.
- The atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity) considerably affect the curing time (drying, evaporation of
solvents) of the welding polymer.
- At low temperature, the parts when assembled should be held together for 20 to 30 seconds.
- In hot weather, the adhesive should be applied rapidly and the parts immediatly jointed.
- So as to avoid evaporation of the welding polymer, the pot must be closed after each welding operation, and it must be
used as quickly as possible once opened, especially under warm climatic conditions.

MARKING OF THE SOCKET LENGTH

- Using a thick pencil or felt maker, draw a mark on the pipe at a distance equal to the corresponding socket depth.

Mark

This mark enables the application of the welding polymer over the necessary length, and helps the installer to check
whether the penetration length of the male end in the socket is correct. The use of GIRPIs socket gauge is recommended
(ref. JAUGE)

Technical Sheet

- Once the checks and marking have been done, apply RERFIX welding polymer, available in
250 ml or 1 liter pots.
- To apply the welding polymer, use the brush provided with the pot.
- Brushes provided with 250 ml pots are fit for use with sizes 16 to 40mm.
- Brushes provided with 1 liter pots are fit for use with sizes 20 to 160mm.
For sizes smaller than 16mm or larger than 160mm, it is advised to use a suitable brush.

The use of any other means or method is prohibited, namely: fingers, wood sticks, or any other ustensil. Dropping the pipes or fittings directly into the welding polymer pots is prohibited as well (such
practices lead to the creation of thick welding polymer deposits, which can cause obstruction of small
bore pipeworks).
- Apply the cement moderately (in a thin coat) over the whole (the female) interlock length and over
the whole length of the male end (marked on pipe). The cement should be applied so as to obtain a
uniform, homogeneous coat, well spread over the whole interlock surface.

Owing to the standardized tolerance ranges of the male ends (pipe / spigots) and the sockets, some gap may appear. In
this case, double welding must be carried out. This consists in coating the male end once, then the socket once, and finally the male end a second time, then joint them.
CAUTION: diluting the welding polymer (e.g. by use of thinner) or modifying it by any method is prohibited.

JOINTING

- Immediately after applying the welding polymer, joint the two elements
right home (as far as the marks previously traced) by pushing longitudinally
and without twisting.
- Keep held together for 5 seconds.
NB1: In certain cases it is necessary to mark the position of one element in relation to the other (see sketch above).
NB2: On large sizes, 2 fitters must operate simultaneously, i.e one fitter will coat the male end, while the other fitter will
be coating the female end with welding polymer. This method enables a quick jointing, needed for a strong weld.

Drinking water pipeworks


When dealing with drinking water networks, before first use, applicable rules must be followed, i.e. fill the pipeworks with
water, flush them and purge them.
In France, for domestic hot and cold water services, the guidelines of CSHPF (French Hospitals health and safety commitee) dated 8th July 2003 apply:
- For new networks, before first use, carry out 3 complete flushing cycles, each of them including a 24h water stagnation
period followed by a complete purging operation.
- For renovation works, before reinstatement of the installation, carry out a flushing operation in which the volume of water
drained from the valve downstream of the point of repair (point B) and the point of repair itself (point A) approximately
represents 10 times the volume of water contained by the pipework section comprised between those two points.

Air conditioning pipeworks


Fan coil units, cooling beams, heat pumps, may contain traces of synthetic oils incompatible with HTA pipework.
Therefore, they must be flushed perfectly clean before installation. Please refer to T.S.14.1 for more detailed guidance.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

The pipes and fittings will be stored separately on an even area, away from dust and sun. In all cases, take special care
to avoid rough handling, impacts and especially with indenting, cutting or heavy objects, particularly in cold weather.

THERMOFORMING

Thermoforming of pipes from the SYSTEMO range (HTA and HTA-F) is strictly prohibited on the work site and
involves cancellation of the GIRPI guarantee. For all direction changes, make use of standard HTA fittings only. Contact
GIRPIS Technical Assistance when faced with particular problems.

CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SYSTEMO AND THREADED METAL COMPONENTS

Fittings that are equipped with threaded metal components: HMML, HEAL, HEBL, H4GL, H4GP, can be used when high
torque is required for connections to metal threaded components. They allow for the use of traditional sealants, except
anaerobic resins.

Excluding connection to wall plates (namely our reference GAAP), obtained by means of tap connectors (HDR reference),
connections between HTA and metal pipes, fittings and equipment featuring male or female threads (conical/taper or
cylindrical/parallel) must be made by means of the CPVC/metal couplings provided for this purpose.

In no case should GIRPIs SYSTEMO pipes and fittings be machine threaded inside or outside.
For all other all-HTA threaded fittings (HEA, HEB, HMM) with metal reinforcing rings, connections with cylindrical/parallel
threaded metal components is possible. In such a case, they will be connected by hand. If needed, the last turn shall
be done with a tool, preferrably a strap wrench, but the use of tow, hemp or anaerobic resins is prohibited, knowing
that excessive tightening can cause the fittings to break up.
The following sealants will be preferred:
- PTFE (e.g. Teflon) tape, preferrably high density.
- Soft silicon paste. Drying time: 24h, which can be reduced to 3h minimum for sizes and .

Please contact the silicone paste manufacturers to get their confirmation as to the compatibility resistance and
sealing capacity under pressure of their products.

GENERAL RULES OF INSTALLATION


COMMISSIONING, TESTS AND
PUTTING INTO SERVICE
GENERAL

4.5

Technical Sheet

SYSTEMO pipes and fittings are inspected throughout their manufacture and are guaranteed for a use complying with
their design, within the limits indicated.
During the installation and before putting the SYSTEMO network into service, it is advisable to make a certain number
of checks, as with all other materials.
In France, refer to guidelines DTU 60-31 (NF P41-211) and DTU 60-1 (NF P40-201).

INSPECTION

a) Visual inspection
During and after installation, the pipes and fittings should be inspected so as to eliminate doubtful elements containing abnormalities such as impacts and deep scores caused by unsuitable handling. Before the tests, the whole network will be visually
inspected to eliminate any pipework section containing deep cuts or notches, large deformations due to sudden impacts, traces
of blow torch burns, etc...
Any damaged part should be replaced before putting into service. The aim of the visual inspection is also to ensure that the installation complies with the drawings and hence the correct installation of all the components (connection, supports, monitoring
and safety mechanisms, etc...).
b) Leak tests
After installation of the network, a leak test will be carried out (all parts of the network should be visible and accessible during
that test).

c) Pressure test
The network shall be filled with water (purge the air from all high points) and kept under pressure long enough to enable visual
control of all joints, and no less than 30 minutes (for large installations, test by sections). In France, consult DTU 60-1 (NF P40201).
The testing pressure will amount to 1.5 times the maximum working pressure, with a minimum of:
- 6 bar for heating and cooling networks.
- 10 bar for domestic hot and cold water services.
. If a leak is detected on a welded joint, replace the leaking section and test again.
. If a leak is detected on a mechanical joint, tighten the connection or replace gasket.
d) Temperature test
When raising the pipeworks temperature for the first time, the absence of leaks must be checked for all valves and joints.

TEST BEFORE PUTTING INTO SERVICE

Once the leak tests have been made, it is advisable, in order to remove all foreign matter, to clean the inside of the network. All applicable tests and controls before putting into service must be carried out, according to all relevant regulations, rules and codes of
practice.

OPERATING CONDITIONS

Whatever the use, the safety mechanisms necessary for the traditional protection of networks (regulation, pressure reduction
and limitation, temperature regulation and limitation, shut off mechanisms, etc...), should be planned, installed and kept in perfect working order throughout operation.
a) Vibrations
Vibrations can be a source of disorders on both pipework and supports ; it is highly advisable to install a suitable system preventing vibrations from spreading.
b) Sources of heat and UV
Being made from thermoplastic material, SYSTEMO should in no case be installed close to a source of heat causing a rise in
temperature greater than its limits of use, and must be protected from exposure to ultraviolet rays.

c) Prevention of impacts
As with all networks conveying pressurised fluids, SYSTEMO pipework systems must be protected from impacts which might
occur in passage ways used by handling machinery or suspended loads in movement (use of safety barriers, railings, etc...).

d) Chemical compatibility
HTA-F pipes have been designed for the distribution of domestic cold water. For other applications, we draw your attention to
potential compatibility problems if chemicals are introduced into the pipework.
e) Air conditioning networks
The introduction of monopropylene glycol (MPG) antifreeze is prohibited.

f) Bracketing
Pipe brackets available on the marketplace may contain substances likely to cause alteration to SYSTEMO pipes. The use of
MONOKLIP brackets is recommended.

g) Insulation materials
Electric cable insulation materials contain substances that can potentially damage SYSTEMO pipes. Therefore, it is advised
not to store or install SYSTEMO pipes near electric cables.

- contract when the temperature drops.

CALCULATION PARAMETERS FOR HTA


The linear expansion coefficient of HTA
and HTA-F is:

= 0,065 millimeter per meter per C (mm/m.C)

The installation of the system must take the elongation or contraction of the pipe into account, which is calculated by this
formula in which:
= expansion-contraction coefficient (linear)
L = x L x T
L = length of the piping when installed, in meters
T = temperature deviation in degrees Celsius/Centigrade (C)
(difference between the maximum or minimum temperature in service and the installation temperature).
L = length variation in millimeters (mm)
(difference in length between L on installation and L in operation, i.e. elongation or shrinkage length).

Ex 1 :

Ex 1 :

installation temperature + 10C


installed length 10 m
working temperature (fluid or room) + 60C

Under certain conditions, the elongation due to the expansion causes compression of the pipe resulting in buckling.
Conversely, the shortening due to the contraction of the pipe cause it to be tensioned. The sketches below illustrate a number of cases of compression or tension, which cause abnormal stress on the material and may cause serious disorders.
The French DTU, ATEC, SINDOTEC handbooks, and various guides all over the world concerning the installation of
piping, whatever their nature, generally indicate that when installing, it is necessary, in order to avoid disorders which may
be caused by variations in length, to recognise them and address them.

REMEDIES
THE REMEDIES

In order to avoid the disorders subsequent to the movements of the pipes, it is necessary to let them expand and
contract freely.

It is therefore necessary to:


- Use pipe brackets allowing the longitudinal movements of the pipe to be guided (GUIDES).
- See to it that there never is a straight length of pipe between 2 anchors, either by using a change in direction, or by
making a loop (see illustration below).

Never work with sharp tools, which may damage the rubber bellows.
The flange screws must not protrude towards the bellow. Under operating conditions, the spherical bellow rolls on the
smooth disks of the flange. All parts must be fully deburred and cleaned (otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the bellows).
Rubber parts must not be painted (solvents and chemical products have a negative effect).
We recommend that you use spacer wedges when you install the DILAPLAST compensator. This will maintain the spacing defined at installation temperature (E).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

6.1

Technical Sheet

2008

SYSTEMO

MONOKLIP brackets have been especially designed to support SYSTEMO pipeworks. The pipe is allowed to move freely inside
the bracket as it expands and contracts. Depending on their size, they are offered with M6, M8 and 7x150 female threaded brass
inserts, or with a plain 5.5mm diameter drilled base.
SYSTEMO is a complete system, specially developped to bring global reliability. Therefore, all of the systems elements must
imperatively be used. The use of components of external origin will make GIRPIs guarantee null and void, especially the use of
other brackets than MONOKLIP.
In all cases, the supports:
- shall continue to support their load even under temperature variation effects,
- shall allow the pipeworks to expand freely,
- shall keep the pipeworks which they support at enough clearance from any wall or obstacle so as to allow for the expansion
movements and also for the assembly and disassembly of the mechanical couplings and accessories (unions, flanges, valves,
pressure limiters, etc... ),
- shall in no event either injure or damage the pipeworks.

DETERMINATION OF THE SELF SUPPORTING TRAYS WIDTH

The total load to be supported must be centered on the basket tray.


Allow for enough clearance (for contraction and expansion) at the changes in direction.
Make clean openings (no sharp edges) to avoid damaging the insulating material and the pipe.

If the space between the pipe and the basket tray is not enough to compensate the contraction or the expansion, use one of
the solutions presented on sheet 5.4: loop, flexible expansion joint, linear expansion compensator.

BRANCHES

When self-supporting trays are used, branches can be made above or below the pipes provided that a sufficiently large opening is made without sharp edges, so as not to block or damage the insulating material or the pipe during expansion and
contraction movements.

INSULATION
INSULATED PIPEWORKS
INSULATION

2008

Technical Sheet

The low thermal conductivity coefficient ( = 0.16 W/mK) of CPVC and the high thermal resistance of SYSTEMO helps
reduce heat losses and delay the condensation phenomena. Like all other materials, SYSTEMO must be insulated to
be protected against frost, to reduce heat losses and to avoid condensation when the outside pipe temperature is below
dew point.

Most insulation products can be used, except those whose installation requirements (e.g. use of certain adhesives) or
chemical composition are not compatible with SYSTEMO.
If in doubt, the user must check the insulation products compatibility with its manufacturer or with GIRPI.

Condensation phenomena resulting from the circulation of fluids colder than ambient temperature have no physical or
chemical influence on SYSTEMO.
Therefore, insulation is not systematically required. The decision will be made according to the installations specific characteristics, and to the consequences of potential condensation on the environment around the pipework.
In comparison with traditional metal pipeworks, SYSTEMO delays condensation.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE

The table hereunder, showing various surface temperatures, shows that the low thermal conductivity of SYSTEMO provides you with a security margin in situations such as: underdimensionned insulation, incorrectly jointed insulation sections, insulations accidental failure...

BASIC IMPLEMENTATION RULES

6.6

Technical Sheet

Contact GIRPI to obtain more detailed technical data sheets about each application and a personnalised thermal study.
CAUTION:
Insulation made from phenolic foam can cause brass to crack.
If in doubt, please contact the insulation manufacturer for more information.

In France, the installation of the insulation must be done according to technical guidelines DTU 67.1 (thermal insulation of
refrigerating pipeworks) and DTU 65.20.
Outside France, please refer to applicable rules.
SYSTEMO does not require need any anti-corrosion treatment before insulation.

The fire rating of the insulating products must comply with the security standards against fire in public buildings.
It is better not to glue directly the insulating materials on the SYSTEMO pipes and fittings.

THERMAL RINGS

To prevent the insulating material from crushing at collar level, a thermal ring must be used. They allow HTA and HTA-F
pipes to expand and contract freely.

SYSTEMO

6.7

SPECIAL CASES
Passing through partitions and floors

2008

Technical Sheet

When a SYSTEMO pipe goes through a wall or a floor, it must be protected by a rigid sleeve made of
synthetic material, and preferrably C-PVC.
The sleeve internal diameter is chosen with enough tolerance to allow the pipes to expand and contract freely.
The sleeve must be long enough to protrude on both sides of the finished masonry element.

Built-in or embedded installations

SYSTEMO can be built or embedded in the masonry as long as there is no disconnectable coupling in that pipework
section. The following precautions must be respected.
Sleeve
Sleeve
Sleeve

Sleeve

Mechanical coupling

Socket

Tee

Elbow

Saddle piece

The pipe must be made integral with the masonry either by means of the couplings making up the system or using
half-shells onto the wall of the pipe.
Each time the pipe enters the masonry it must be protected against shearing by a sleeve which protrudes from the
finished surface of the masonry.
The chase will be filled with a homogeneous material without sharp gravel which could damage the pipe.
The commissioning tests must be carried out before filling the chase or pouring the concrete.

BURIED INSTALLATIONS

SYSTEMO pipeworks can be buried if the following precautions are respected:


The bottom of the excavation must be levelled and free of large grained materials and have no
surface hard spots.
A carefully compacted bed of 10 cm minimum will be made of clean sand 0/10 containing less
than 10 % of fines.
The backfill directly in contact with the pipe (comprised of sand containing less than 12 % of
fines and free of gravel with diameter greater than 30 mm) will cover the pipe to a depth of 15
cm minimum and will be compacted.
The covering backfill will be compacted in successive layers comprised of materials removed from the trench and which
contain less than 30 % of elements greater than 20 mm.
The minimum total height of the backfill above the pipe will be:
general case: 60 cm
under road/rail traffic: 80 cm
under concrete slab: 40 cm

LOOP SYSTEM

In larger networks, loops must be planned at early design stage. Loops allow for emergency and continuous water treatments especially in the event of an epidemic. Furthermore, loops help keep water at a constant temperature, and ensure
constant water flow.

PRESSURE LOSSES
CALCULATION RULES
CALCULATION BASES

7.1

Technical Sheet

The quality of the internal surface condition of the SYSTEMO pipes and fittings guarantees a flow rate higher (for an equivalent section) than the one provided by metal pipes.

To calculate the pressure loss in SYSTEMO pipes, GIRPI has had pressure loss nomograms at 7C, 20C, 45C, 60C,
80C produced by the CATED (Technical sheet 7.2 to 7.6).
These nomograms have been established using the formula:
with Colebrooks calculated as follows: 1 = - 2 log

J = pressure losses (mCE/m)


U = flow speed (m/s)
D = pipe internal diameter (m)
g = gravity acceleration (9,81 m/s2)
= Colebrook factor (no measurement unit)
Re = Reynolds factor (no measurement unit) = UD
V
= rugosity = 0,001 mm
V = flow kinematic viscosity (m2/s)

( 3,7 D +

J=

U2
2gD

2,51
Re

When using antifreeze or additives, the viscosity of the resulting fluid must be taken into consideration to calculate
pressure drops.

3 PIECE UNIONS C-PVC with EPDM gasket

Soc. x Male thread

- H3F/P or H3F/PB 3-piece unions have a C-PVC socket and a male C-PVC thread.
- They can be connected with C-PVC and metal fittings (brass, maleable iron, stainless steel, carbon steel).
- Only use TEFLON (PTFE) tape as a sealant (no tow).
Alternatively, sealing pastes may be used if compatible with C-PVC.
- The male thread is conical (taper).

The weight of the ball valve and its correct use require its anchoring on a convenient support.

There are two holes underneath the valve body which allow to hang it with bolts on the correct support.
The table above gives the width of the holes and their spacing.

. Valves in 75 to 110 are carefully assembled in our workshops. It is strongly recommended NOT to dismantle the backing plates which ensure good valve operation. The socket flanges may be dismantled.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TABLES

The indications given in the tables below are extracts from French or foreign documents or the result of our own experiments. They cannot be considered to be absolute or guaranteed, as they are not valid in all specific operating conditions.
It must also be noted that the nature of chemical agents and their mixtures, the presence of impurities, and the degree of
vulcanisation of elastomers, can lead to large variations in these indications; only practical tests in these cases can provide valid results. We cannot be held liable for the indications given.
The chemical agents are classified in alphabetical order.
Meaning of symbols:
2: Good resistance, 0: Not resistant (use not recommended), - : Not tested

SPECIAL NOTE FOR BRASS:


Some of the articles offered in SYSTEMO include brass components (a copper-zinc based alloy). These articles
were specially designed for potable water pipeworks. However, some particularly aggressive potable waters
might not be compatible with brass and cause brass components to deteriorate. Consequently, the people in
charge of a project (contractors, consulting engineers, investors, etc.) need to check the potable waters quality
with the water supplying company, and get assurances from them and from the manufacturer that the water is
indeed compatible with brass. Also, the compatibility of additives introduced into double purpose air conditioning networks (comfort cooling + heating in one single flow and return pipework) with brass must be checked
before use. You are requested to consult the manufacturer for applications other than domestic water services
and double purpose air conditioning.

TREATMENT OF PIPEWORKS

12.1
Technical Sheet

Bacteria which are potentially harmful to human beings and which contaminate pipeworks for hot and cold water services
must be eradicated using two treatment procedures: temperature elevation and chemical attack. The recommendations
hereunder originate from the French Ministry of Health (DGS).

CURATIVE SPOT TREATMENT


USED FOR CURATIVE SPOT TREATMENTS IN DISRUPTED PIPEWORKS

(Concentration levels of decontamination agents are given as an indication.


It must be ensured before use that the pipework materials are compatible with the recommended decontamination agents,
at the concentration levels indicated).

Chlorinated agents generating hypochlorites:


Sodium hypochlorite NaOCl,
Molecular, Chlorine Cl2,
Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)2)

- 100mg/l free chlorine for 1h


- Or 50mg/l free chlorine for 12h
- Or 15mg/l free chlorine for 24h

This table was made according to the recommendations of the French High Council for Public Hygiene, taking into account the specific requirements of health establishments. The decontamination processes recommended for spot treatments are not approved for
large pipeworks. Therefore, those spot treatments are not quoted in the guide.
It must be checked that the silver based stabilisers used are authorised by the Ministry of Health.

CONTINUOUS TREATMENT
USED FOR CONTINUOUS TREATMENTS

(Decontamination agent concentrations must remain compatible with potable water / feeding applications).

Chlorinated agents generating hypochlorites:


Sodium hypochlorite NaOCl,
Molecular, Chlorine Cl2,
Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)2

Free Chlorine concentration equal or superior


to 0.3mg/l according to the pipework, and to
the waters quality and pH (concentration
must not remain below 1mg/l at all times).

This table was made according to the recommendations of the French High Council for Public Hygiene, taking into account the
specific requirements of health establishments.

REFRIGERATION FLUIDS AND OTHER

13.1
Technical Sheet

2008

HTA

In general, heating / cooling (8C / 50C) so-called reversible 2-pipe air conditioning networks do not require the addition
of any antifreeze fluid, since the use of such fluids would dictate the increase of some network components sizes.

Should the network require the use of an antifreeze, an anticorrosion or a bactericide fluid, the compatibility of such fluids
with HTA must be checked with their manufacturers or with GIRPIs Technical Assistance.

Monopropyleneglycol (MPG) is not compatible with CPVC material.

It is reminded that for all comfort cooling or chilled water applications, GIRPIs KRYOCLIM pipework system
is perfectly adapted.
Air cooling terminal units (e.g. fan coil units, cooling panels, cooling beams) may contain residual quantities of metal
machining lubricating oils (generally located in the coils). Such oils are not compatible with CPVC and can cause the pipework to suffer from major disorders.
It is your responsibility to get your supplier to guarantee the coils cleanliness before installation
Products containing: esthers, ethoxyles, amines are not compatible with CPVC.

Silica and Phosphate based anticorrosion fluids are known to corrode the EPDM components of the flexible expansion
joints. Their use is prohibited. More generally, the compatibility of such anticorrosion fluids with flexible expansion joints
must be checked with their manufacturers.

HTA

AIR CONDITIONING NETWORKS


ADVICE AND PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING
AIR CONTITIONING NETWORKS FEATURING HEAT PUMPS

14.1
Technical Sheet

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS VALID FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS

In every case, particular attention should be paid to the cleanliness and absence of any oil trace on the teminal units (fan
coil units, cooling beams, etc.). It is the installers responsibility to make contact with his supplier or to clean the terminal
units.

In order to avoid the accidental introduction of synthetic oil or traces of synthetic oil into the HTA pipework, the HTA network must be separated from the heat pump by means of a heat exchanger installed between a primary CHW network
made from another material than HTA (e.g. metal) and a secondary CHW network made from HTA, following the diagram
below:

Heat
pump

Heat
exchanger

In order to prevent sludge from building up inside and around the pipes, their corrosion due to various deposits must be
avoided by:
- Periodical visual checks of the pipeworks state of cleanliness.
- As soon as a leak seems to appear, check for the absence of corrosion or cracks by using endoscopy, ultrasounds or
magnetic / electric fields (courants de Foucault).

MAINTENANCE OF THE PIPEWORK

MAINTENANCE OF THE CHILLER UNIT

During the units working life, service controls and tests must be carried out in accordance with applicable regulations.

Any leak, however small, is unacceptable. Every measure should be taken to avoid leak risks, and immediate action
should be taken to eliminate each and every detected leak.
Every sampling process and emptying of the refrigeration fluid in the primary circuit must be carried out by a qualified
technician and with adapted material.
Yearly leak control operations must be recorded in the maintenance book.

For big sized machines, a vibratory signature (signature vibratoire) must be carried out when first started, and periodically during the installations working life.

MAINTENANCE OF THE PRIMARY CIRCUIT (CONTAINING REFRIGERATION FLUID)

The pipework must be flushed perfectly clean before use, as well as the chiller units heat exchangers, and the exchangers of the terminal units (fan coil units, cooling beams, etc.).

The installer must make sure that the units installed have been properly cleaned before delivery, and that the antifreeze
refrigeration liquids are compatible with the materials installed (gaskets pipeworks).
Take every precaution to avoid installation disorders such as the generation of sludge.
The system must always be kept in perfect working order

People in charge of the air conditionning installations maintenance and cleaning need to protect themselves from at least
three problems:
1) Internal corrosion of the pipes which may lead to the formation of holes or leaking cracks.
2) Vibrations transmitted at exchanger level, which may cause the pipework to break.
3) Refrigeration liquids freezing solid.
