Polypropylene is by far the most demanded material in the arrangement of pipelines for hot \ cold water... One of the most important conditions for ensuring reliable operation systems - correct fastening of polypropylene pipes. It can be performed in several ways, which are divided into two main groups: outdoor installation and internal.

Regardless of the chosen installation option, you will need special fasteners and consumables for its implementation. This review provides relevant information that will be useful when choosing fasteners and consumables necessary for arranging polypropylene lines.

What are the norms for fastening polypropylene pipes

The laying of polypropylene pipelines must be carried out in accordance with the standards specified in GOST 52134-2003. This standard contains all necessary requirements for fastening pressure pipes made of polypropylene. Compliance with this standard guarantees reliable operation of the systems and the absence of leaks at normal operating parameters (temperature / pressure) in the system.

The pipes must be fastened in such a way as to compensate for their thermal expansion. To solve this problem, fixed elements of sliding fasteners are used, which are able to respond to temperature changes (single / double clips).

Vault building regulations 40-101-96 indicates the inadmissibility of rigid fastening of polypropylene pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to use fixed sliding fasteners that compensate for linear expansion.

How is the fastening of polypropylene pipes

For the installation of highways using polypropylene pipes you will need:

plastic clips (or clamps) the right size;

• dowels.

2. Tools:

• curly screwdriver;

  knife \ scissors for cutting polypropylene pipes;

  yardstick;

• pencil or marker.

Fastening of polypropylene pipes must be carried out taking into account the risk of mechanical deformation and thermal expansion of the line. Experts recommend laying pipes in grooves, suspended ceiling structures, in walls, in screeds, along walls under skirting boards or in an open way.

The installation of propylene pipes must be carried out at an ambient temperature not lower than + 5 ° C.

Pipes with an outer diameter ranging from 16 to 32 mm should be bent with a radius that is at least 8 outer diameters. Such operations are performed at an air temperature of more than 15 ° C.

Propylene pipes must be protected from exposure to open flames.

If, during the wiring process, it becomes necessary to cross the pipelines, then it is necessary to use special fastening parts for crossing.

When connecting pipes with threads, special fittings of the required size are used. Cutting threads on polypropylene pipes is prohibited.

If there are sections of metal pipes in the polypropylene pipeline, then the connection must be made without the use of soldering or welding, as this can lead to overheating of the polypropylene fasteners.

Pipelines are laid with a slope of at least 0.5%. At the lowest point in the pipeline, it is necessary to provide for the installation of a drain valve or drain valve. Long pipelines should be divided into individual elements that can be shut off with taps ball type or checkpoint shut-off valves... This is necessary to simplify the maintenance and repair of the polypropylene pipeline. At the points where it is planned to install mixers and other plumbing equipment, a universal wall mount with adjustment along the axis from 10 to 15 cm.

Distance between fixings

Maximum spacing for fixing polypropylene pipes PN 10 for horizontal lines:

Distance between fasteners of polypropylene pipes PN 16 when laying horizontally, it should not exceed the values ​​indicated in the table:

Distance of fastening of polypropylene pipes PN 20(maximum spacing between supports) for horizontal installation must not exceed the following values:

At vertical mount the values ​​in the table must be multiplied by 1.3.

For polypropylene pipes STABI PN 20 with reinforcement:

Methods for fastening polypropylene pipes:

	At the points where you need to branch off the trunk
At the reinforcement attachment points	Using clamps
	Fastening next to the fitting

When fastening polypropylene pipes, one should take into account the operating conditions (temperature / pressure), the permissible linear expansion, as well as the connection options. There are two main options for fastening:

stationary (there is no possibility of moving the fastener along the axis of the polypropylene pipe);

movable (compression / expansion of the line is provided without changing the position of the axis).

When is it better to use clips for fastening polypropylene pipes

For the installation of polypropylene pipelines, nylon clips are used. These parts have the necessary high temperature resistance and strength. The size of the clip should be selected based on the diameter of the pipe (outer). Fastening of polypropylene pipes is carried out in accordance with the installation requirements. Advantages of piping installation using clips:

Fast and reliable piping. The clips are fastened to a wall or other surface with self-tapping screws.

This mounting option can be used for laying lines made of polypropylene pipes for various purposes, which operate in a wide temperature range.

• Subject to the installation requirements (installation intervals of clips), the absence of distortions of the line during operation is guaranteed.

Fastening of polypropylene pipes with clips provides an aesthetic appearance of the pipeline without additional covering structures.

Fastening can be done without special fixtures and tools.

Clips for pipes made of polypropylene are used to fasten water and heating lines. With their help, you can fasten the line to surfaces made of wood, plasterboard, concrete or brick. In the catalogs of manufacturers, single and double clips are presented. With parallel fastening of pipelines, depending on the distance between the lines, two single or one double clips are used. Single fasteners are easily attached to each other without special tools. So you can install several parallel branches of polypropylene pipes.

The sets of clips can be completed with straps that prevent the pipe from falling out of the mount.

When installing a line made of polypropylene pipes, it is necessary to observe the fastening interval. When setting the clips on excessively great distance sagging of the pipeline can occur between the supports. Optimal fastening spacing for pipes different sizes are presented in the table:

Table 1

Before performing work on fastening polypropylene pipes, they must be connected together. For this, butt, polyfusion welding or electrofitting is used. In order to quickly and efficiently carry out the installation of the pipeline, experts recommend to be guided by the following algorithm of actions:

Before execution starts installation works it is necessary to mark the future highway along the perimeter. It is necessary to provide a slight slope of the pipeline.

At the points of attachment of the line, you need to drill holes for the dowels.

Install clips into the holes.

Install the dowels with a hammer and screwdriver.

Install clips.

When is it advisable to use clamps for attaching polypropylene pipes

For fastening polypropylene pipes, the price depends on the fasteners used and the weight of the pipe. For heavy pipes large diameter it is necessary to use fastening clamps. These elements have a vibration-damping rubber gasket and screw ties for a secure fit. The clamps securely hold even very heavy pipes in the event of strong vibrations. The set includes a hairpin and a dowel. There are plastic or metal clamps on the market. Experts recommend using plastic fasteners for laying polypropylene pipes, which will ensure the same strength characteristics constructions. The pipeline is fastened in the form of a rigid or floating structure:

For a rigid installation, the clamps must be tightened as much as possible on the pipes. This attachment is used at points below the bell. This installation eliminates any displacement of the line.

• Floating fastening involves loose tightening of the clamp. In this case, a gap remains between the fasteners and the polypropylene pipe. This provides the necessary mobility of the line during linear temperature expansion.

In specialized stores, clamps for polypropylene pipes with or without rubber gaskets are presented. The presence of a rubber seal provides sound insulation during operation of the line and protects it from vibrations.

When performing floating fastening of polypropylene pipes to the wall, the distance between the clamps must be selected based on the diameter of the pipe. Guideline values for pipelines for different purposes are given in table 2.

table 2

How is the fastening of polypropylene heating and water supply pipes in a hidden way?

To solve design problems, there is often a need for hidden laying of communications. When using polypropylene pipes, customers have doubts about how reliable the pipeline will be and what technology should be used for installation work.

Polypropylene products are resistant to corrosive processes and chemically active substances. Knowing these characteristics, we can say that pipes made of this material are quite suitable for concealed installation in the wall or in concrete screed... Considering the thermal expansion, when laying in a hidden way hot water pipelines around the polypropylene pipe must be left with an air gap. To ensure the operational reliability of the pipeline, it is necessary to minimize the number of pipeline connections. In addition, it is necessary to provide for thermal insulation of the line. For this, special insulation, cardboard, mineral wool, etc. can be used. This will prevent the formation of condensation on the surface of polypropylene pipes. For maintenance of the system, it is necessary to provide for easy access to the closing fittings. To do this, in the places of its installation, hatches are mounted, which are presented in a wide range in plumbing stores.

The first stage of work on laying pipelines involves marking the line, which can be applied with a marker or pencil. Further operations are performed in the following sequence:

According to the markings made with a grinder or a perforator, parallel grooves are channeled. When working with a grinder, it is recommended to use discs for processing stone or diamond-coated discs.

The gap between the grooves is removed with a perforator or chisel so that a wide depression is obtained.

A pipeline is laid in the prepared recess, which is sealed from above with a cement-based solution.

The installation site is finished with decorative material.

After the completion of pipe laying, an hour later, the line is tested. To do this, it is filled with water and examined for leaks. When flush-mounted in the wall, the pipes are fastened using plastic fasteners. For pipelines of large diameter, metal fasteners can be used.

Good day, my reader or reader! In this article, I will briefly list the rules for installing polypropylene pipelines. The main operation when installing polypropylene pipelines is soldering. Let's start with her!

Soldering rules for polypropylene pipes.

Polypropylene pipes and fittings are connected to each other by soldering. The method is simple, but nevertheless, some rules must be followed. We list these rules below:

• The first thing to do is to prepare the welding machine for work - mount the necessary nozzles on the heating surface, install the welding machine on a tripod (the machine must stand on flat surface), plug it in and set the required temperature on the thermostat (you don't need to set anything on cheap Chinese devices - they heat up to 260 ° C automatically).
• After the "welder" has warmed up to operating temperature, you can start soldering. Before soldering, it is necessary to cut the pipe evenly, remove burrs from its edges and mark with a marker the distance at which the pipe will be inserted into the socket. Manufacturers also recommend degreasing the pipe surface, but it is enough to keep the pipe just clean. For pipes reinforced with metal foil, it is necessary to use a special stripping (for pipes with external reinforcement) or a facer (for pipes with internal reinforcement). If the pipe is reinforced with fiberglass, then you just need to cut it straight.
• Next, the fitting and the pipe are inserted into the nozzle on the welding machine (it is important to insert the pipe and the fitting straight, otherwise the soldering will be of poor quality) and you start counting the time required to warm up. For different pipe diameters, the time will be different (we will give it below in the table).

Diameter, mm.	Distance to insert the pipe into the socket, mm.	Heating time, sec.	Soldering cooling time, min
20	17	6	2
25	19	7	2
32	22	8	4
40	24	12	4
50	27	18	4
63	30	24	6
75	32	30	6
90	35	40	8

• After completing the work, you must turn off the welding machine from the network and wait until it cools down. After that, you can twist the attachments and fold it into a drawer. Do not cool the welding machine with water. This will damage the equipment.

For more clarity of everything that is said above, watch this video:

For the installation of polypropylene pipes near walls and in hard-to-reach places you will need a partner. There are difficult cases when you have to use two partners and two soldering irons at the same time. Therefore, look for a companion in advance for the installation work.

How to calculate the number of polypropylene fasteners?

Support for polypropylene pipes.

Polypropylene pipes have standards for the number of fasteners per unit of length. This amount depends on the pipe diameter and temperature regime... For clarity, we present these data in the form of a table:

Pipe diameter, mm	Distance between fasteners, mm.
	20 ° C	30 ° C	40 ° C	50 ° C	60 ° C	70 ° C	80 ° C
20	600	600	600	600	550	500	500
25	750	750	700	700	650	600	550
32	900	900	900	800	750	700	650
40	1000	1000	900	900	850	800	750
50	1200	1200	1100	1100	1000	950	900
63	1400	1400	1300	1300	1150	1150	1000
75	1500	1500	1400	1400	1250	1150	1100
90	1800	1600	1500	1500	1400	1250	1200

Now you just need to divide the total footage of the pipe by the distance indicated in the table and you will get the number of fasteners. The location of the mounts must be thought out separately. This is usually done during the project creation process. It is not worth saving on supports, they are needed to protect pipelines from deformations caused by temperature.

Tool for the installation of polypropylene pipes.

For the installation of polypropylene pipes, the following tool is required:

• Welding machine.
• Nozzles - shoe or pair, depending on what kind of welding machine you have.
• Cutter for plastic pipes.
• Marker for marking the pipe.
• Building level.
• Wrench for tightening threaded connections.
• Belt wrench for combination clutches - very convenient thing for tightening combination couplings without hexagon.
• Thread, FUM or anaerobic thread sealant

Wrench for combination couplings.

The list is not too long, but here is the most necessary and it is better not to forget anything. I know from experience that it is extremely inconvenient to work without a belt key and a marker.

Results of the article.

Installation of polypropylene is a fairly simple process and does not require a lot of training. The first time you can ruin a few fittings and meters of pipe, but this is a small price for knowledge and experience and you have to pay it. Moreover, the price of the material is more than democratic, compared to copper or metal-plastic. That's all, write your questions in the comments and press the social media buttons!

The pipeline is fixed to different surfaces(floor, wall, ceiling) by means of special fasteners. They are clamps that clasp the pipe in diameter. Distinctive feature this fixture is considered to be securely attached to the wall. In addition to this, bolts and nuts are required.

Types of fasteners

Mounts have several varieties:

• crimp;
• safety;
• guides;
• supporting.

They are needed to fully attach the attachment to the pipeline in different places.

The clamp is made of steel or plastic. There are mounts that have a rubber seal. The device can be dismantled if this is provided for by its design. Such a clamp is called detachable.

Important points

1. The deflection of pipes in a vertical position should not exceed 2 mm (per 1 m of length).
2. The clamp must not be placed in the area where the pipelines are connected to each other.
3. When sealing fasteners, it is strictly forbidden to use wood plugs and welding.
4. Riser pipes in industrial buildings fastened every 3 m (according to SNiP). SNiP is a set of regulations on construction.
5. Riser pipes in residential buildings are fixed if the height of one floor is over 3 m. This applies to steel pipelines.
6. Plastic sewer pipes should be strengthened, while not forgetting about the slope.

Before finally installing the clamps, it is necessary to calculate the connections with the branch pipes, with the exception of soft types of fixation. For socket-type connections, rubber rings are used. Compensation type connections are used only once.

The gap between the fasteners of polypropylene pipes is calculated during design. This step, coupled with a rigid fixation, provides a longer service life. In this situation, fastenings, in the design of which there is a rubber gasket, will come in handy.

The distance between the fasteners of polypropylene pipes according to SNIP directly depends on:

• temperature regime of the distilled substance;
• the content of aluminum or fiberglass in the pipe wall;
• coefficient of linear expansion in polypropylene pipeline;
• pipe thickness, diameter and material;
• additional loads.

Ignoring these factors will negatively affect the service life and throughput pipeline. If the distance between the fasteners is too large, the supports will be pinched and the polypropylene pipes will bend, which will lead to the destruction of the entire system.

It is rather difficult to independently calculate the distance between clamps for PVC pipes. To facilitate this task, manufacturers of building materials apply instructions for use to their products (polypropylene pipes), which contains an explanatory table (calculation depending on the diameter of the pipe and the temperature regime of the pumped liquid). An example in the photo.

If the firm is reliable, then the technical catalog is publicly available. In the absence of information about the distance between the fasteners, professionals advise making small gaps between the clamps.

This method has two disadvantages:

1. Installation of polypropylene pipes will take longer than previously envisaged.
2. You will have to purchase a number of additional clamps.

The design of the sewage pipeline is carried out taking into account the relevant normative documents(SNiP). Fasteners will be needed, without them the sewer system will not function normally, since its alignment will disappear. In this case, not only a clamp is used, but also a plastic clip.

In the first case, the material from which the pipe is made does not matter (iron or PVC). In the second, in addition to the clip itself, you will need a dowel. If sewer pipeline contains PVC, then its diameter will not be large. The reason for this is that the plastic is not designed for too much stress. The clip size varies from 16-50 mm. It is not used for fixing the pipe to the floor.

Steel or iron sewer pipes do not change when exposed to high temperatures, which cannot be said about those made of PVC. This process is compensated for with a clamp. In this case, both rigid and floating methods are used.

Distance between sewer fixings PVC pipes determined by the sewerage system plan. Fasteners are carried out using a minimum gap. The frequency is 40 cm with a diameter of 50 mm. Further indicators increase proportionally, for example, if the diameter is 100 mm, then the distance from one mount to another is 80 cm.

In the same way, the installation of the pipeline on the ceiling is carried out, usually it is carried out in the basement. It is forbidden to use fastenings in the form of clamps on bends, there must be a distance of 1.5 dm. It is imperative to fix the joint between the fitting and the pipe.

Pipe fastening made of steel

The distance between the fasteners of steel pipes according to SNiP depends on the diameter. If the nominal bore reaches no more than 20 mm, then the gap between the clamps should not exceed 2.5 m. With a diameter of up to 32 mm - 3 m.

For a hole with a radius of 40mm, you need a distance of 4 m. When laying a steel pipeline openly, the master will need clamps and brackets. The use of welding (gas or electric) is strictly prohibited. Trenchless steel pipelines are not considered operational.

The quality of the work performed is influenced by the selected materials and the exact adherence to the developed pipeline plan. If necessary, you can consult with professionals. Their recommendations will help you choose the fittings that are suitable for the pipes and make them correctly installed. The experience of specialists should not be neglected.

With many years of experience in solving problems in the assembly and construction of facilities, we invite you to familiarize yourself in our catalog with prices for polypropylene pipes and additional polypropylene products.

Installation of polypropylene pipes in Russia is regulated by the provisions of GOST R 52134-2003 "Pressure pipes made of thermoplastics and connecting parts for them for water supply and heating systems", SNiP 41-01-2003 "Heating, ventilation and air conditioning", SNIP 3.05.01-85 " Internal sanitary systems ", SNiP 2.04.01-85" Internal water supply and sewerage of buildings "and SP 40-101-96" Code of rules for the design and installation of polypropylene pipelines "Random copolymer". In the European Union, the requirements for the installation of polypropylene pipes are established by a number of technical regulations - standards, a detailed list of which is given in this material.

The main purpose of the installation of polypropylene pipes, regardless of the starting material (PP-H polypropylene homopolymer, PP-B polypropylene block copolymer, PPRC polypropylene random copolymer) and its modifications (Fire-resistant Polypropylen-Homopolymer PP-Hs, Polypropylen-Randomcopolymer PP-R-el conductive, -Randomcopolymer PP-Rs-el electrically conductive and fire-resistant) (see details), as well as reinforcement with aluminum foil or fiberglass is to ensure operating conditions under which the pressure and temperature of the transported liquid, and temperature environment will not cause internal stresses in the pipeline and its individual nodes that can lead to a violation of the integrity or permanent deformations in pipes, fittings and connections. The primary task of installing polypropylene pipes is to compensate for linear temperature changes in the pipeline by changing the direction of the route and without using special expansion joints.

Unlike pipes made of galvanized or of stainless steel(see) all pipes made of thermoplastic polymers (see this material) have a high coefficient of linear thermal expansion, especially significant in hot water supply and heating systems.

To solve this problem, the pipeline route is conventionally divided by fixed supports into sections that autonomously respond to changes in temperature (or pressure) in the pipeline. Fixed supports (BO) direct the axial elongation to sliding supports (CO) installed in places where the track direction changes, which, in fact, are compensating devices.

The relative temperature elongation of the pipeline section bounded by fixed supports for polypropylene pipes is calculated by the formula Δl = 0.15 * l * Δt, where:

• Δl- change in the linear size of the pipeline section along the axis of the route, mm;
• l- length of the pipeline section bounded by fixed supports, m;
• Δt- the temperature difference between the pipeline during operation and during the installation of polypropylene pipes, ° С;
• 0.15 - coefficient of linear thermal expansion of polypropylene pipes, mm / m ° С.

Important: Polypropylene pipes reinforced with aluminum foil have a linear thermal expansion that is 2/3 less than polypropylene pipes without reinforcement. Polypropylene pipes, fiberglass reinforced, have a linear thermal expansion, 3/5 less than pipes made of polypropylene without reinforcement.

Linear thermal expansion of pipes PN 10,16,20 made of random copolymer polypropylene and PP-R polypropylene pipes reinforced with aluminum foil for hot water supply and heating systems, depending on the temperature of the transported medium, can be determined from the nomograms (see below).

Sliding supports when installing polypropylene pipes, as a rule, are made of clips, single or double, corresponding to the DN diameter to the nominal diameter of the polypropylene pipe.

Rice. Single and double clips for sliding pipe supports made of polypropylene

SP 40-101-96 categorically prohibits rigid fixation of the pipeline when installing polypropylene pipes by compressing the pipeline. Therefore, the fixed supports can be made on the basis of sliding supports with limited axial movement by two couplings or a coupling and a tee.

Rice. Fixed support for the installation of polypropylene pipes according to the recommendations of SP 40-101-96

Most often, when installing polypropylene pipes, compensating changes in the direction of the route are used:

Possibilities of loop compensating elements depending on the nominal diameter of polypropylene pipes are presented in the table below.

d, mm	16	20	25	32	40
Δl, mm	85-90	80	65-70	55	45

Important: Loop compensating elements have drawbacks - when installed on horizontal and vertical pipelines, it is extremely difficult to remove water from them, and when installed in horizontal routes - air.

When installing polypropylene pipes, sliding supports are installed on the sides of bends, tees and bends, and all types of compensating devices can be used in the piping system for cold / hot water supply and heating.

SP 40-101-96 makes stringent requirements for:

Nominal outside diameter, mm	Temperature of the transported medium, degrees Celsius
	20	30	40
16	500	450	400
20	550	500	450
