Push-fit solutions Working temperatures Working temperatures and pressure tables The maximum temperature and pressure range in any system is dictated by the component with the lowest performance rating. Remember to pressure test all systems thoroughly after completion. Tectite installations may be tested to 1.5 times their normal working pressure at ambient temperature. Achieving low temperatures For products used in water systems, working temperatures of less then 4°C can only be achieved if antifreeze is added to the system. Pressure Equipment Directive Since 30th May 2002 most pressure equipment and assemblies on the market in the United Kingdom have had to comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive (P.E.D.) 1999. Fittings are exempt from the P.E.D. unless they are incorporated into pressure equipment, meaning that all Tectite fittings are exempt. Tectite valves are also exempt.

Push-fit solutions Tubes, pipe and their compatibilities 3 Copper tube Compatible copper tube must meet the requirements of BS EN 1057 for copper and copper alloy – seamless round copper tubes for water (and gas) in sanitary and heating applications. BS EN 1057 includes specified temper conditions (material strength) expressed as an ‘R’ number. Quite simply, the higher the number, the harder the material. As a result, tube diameter, wall thickness, length and the material temper must all be specified for full product designation. All Tectite 316 fittings can be used with copper tube, although in humid conditions some staining of the tube may be witnessed (see page 57 Phenolic foam section for details on moistureproof insulation). Yorkex* copper System tube is manufactured to the same standards as above and offers the same features and benefits. *Yorkex is a brand name of Yorkshire Copper Tube. COPPER TUBE BS EN 1057 COMPATIBILITY: Tectite Sprint, Tectite Classic and Tectite Pro fittings All tube tempers(R220, R250 and R290) are available in all the designated wall thicknesses Outside diameter Wall thickness 0.6mm 0.7mm 0.8mm 0.9mm 1.0mm 1.2mm 1.5mm 2.0mm 10mm ✔ ✔ ✔ – ✔ – – – 12mm ✔ – ✔ – ✔ – – – 15mm – ✔ – – ✔ – – – 22mm – – – ✔ ✔ ✔ – – 28mm – – – ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ – 35mm – – – – – ✔ ✔ – 42mm – – – – – ✔ ✔ – 54mm – – – – – ✔ – ✔ When Yorkex* copper tube is used with Tectite fittings as part of a complete system an enhanced guarantee of 30 years will apply. Tectite fittings can also be used with copper tube to the above standards, in which case a 25 year guarantee will apply. Tectite-PEX barrier pipe Tectite-PEX is a highintegrity cross-linked polyethylene barrier pipe. Available in sizes from 10mm to 28mm in 3m and 6m straight lengths or 25m, 50m and 100m coils, it is suitable for use with Tectite Sprint and Tectite Classic fittings (use with T66 liners). You can use Tectite Sprint and Tectite Classic fittings on all PEX plastic pipes which meet BS 7291: Part 3 (use with appropriate manufacturers’ liners). Tectite 316 fittings cannot be used with plastic pipes. For the ultimate in convenience, our Tectite Sprint and Tectite Classic ranges of fittings can also be used with PB pipe that conforms to BS 7921: Part 2 (use with appropriate manufacturers’ liners). At the heart of Tectite-PEX is an EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) resin oxygen barrier found centrally within the pipe wall. This barrier inhibits the ingress of oxygen – vital in central heating applications where permeation of oxygen into the system can cause radiator corrosion. TECTITE-PEX BENDS Size Maximum Radii 10mm 15mm 22mm 28mm 45mm using T120 clips 100mm using T120 clips, 90mm using T125 bend former brackets 175mm using T120 clips 300mm using T120 clips Flexibility Tectite-PEX is flexible enough to be cabled around obstructions and through joists with ease, saving on time and materials. The product’s flexibility also allows it to absorb energy and so reduce noise from water hammer and thermal movement. The pipe’s low thermal conductivity means exposed pipework in central heating systems is cooler to the touch than other materials. It is resistant to limescale and allbut eliminates the threat of burst pipes in cold conditions. Lightweight and convenient to handle and store, Tectite-PEX can be painted with either emulsion or oil-based gloss paints (NOT cellulose paint). Care must be taken to ensure that no paint comes into contact with Tectite fittings. Installation When installing Tectite-PEX, always remember to observe minimum bend radii to avoid kinking of the pipe. The Tectite accessories range includes a bend former for tight bends. Standards and approvals Tectite PEX adheres to all major trade specifications as follows: BS 7291 Specification for thermoplastic pipes and associated fittings for hot and cold water for domestic purposes and heating installations in buildings. BS 7291: Part 1 General requirements. BS 7291: Part 3 Specification for cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes and associated fittings. Kitemark approved All Tectite PEX barrier pipe is Kitemark approved. WRAS Tectite PEX complies with The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. DIN Tectite PEX barrier pipe fully meets the requirements of DIN 16892.
