This table shows that in the low temperature range (Column 2) the forces are greater than in the high temperature range (Column 1). Examples of methods of creating anchor points are shown in section 3.2.1. Whilst Geberit manufactures PluviaFix anchor brackets for its system, it does not manufacture or supply drop rods for connecting the brackets to the ceiling. These must be sourced from a suitable supplier that can they can withstand the forces shown in the table above.
Anchor brackets for rigid fixings must be stronger than possible expansion or contraction forces (P) of the HDPE pipe (see table opposite).

Suspended rail system
The Geberit PluviaFix rail system was developed for the suspended installation of horizontal pipework. The system includes a metal rail that absorbs all the forces generated when the pipe tries to expand. Geberit guarantees this system to control all forces and only dead weight fixings are required to the ceiling. Advantages of the rail system: •
Quick installation.
•
Fewer ceiling fastening points.
•
Controls thermal movement.
•
No expansion because of rigid installation.
•
No expansion sockets in the horizontal pipes.
•
Simple prefabrication is possible.
•
One fastening for anchor and sliding brackets.

Geberit Sovent overview
4.1.1
Geberit Sovent - Planning
When a Geberit Sovent system is planned, the following points have to be observed in addition to the general rules for waste and drainage stack design: • • •
Use of a Sovent fitting instead of a common branch fitting. Pressure relief ventilation at the base of the stack. Every stack has to be ventilated through the roof with the same diameter (110mm).
Connection load per floor The branches have been designed in accordance with the local regulations (e.g. EN 12056-2), which include the dimensioning diameter and the maximum length of the System description Sovent, a fitting for single stack drainage systems, substantially increases the performance of a soil and waste drainage system, and thus eliminates the need for a separate vent stack and reduces the diameter of stacks in high rise buildings. Due to its high capacity and excellent performance, the Geberit Sovent fitting is an ideal drainage solution for: • • • •
High rise buildings. Hotels. Laboratories. Industrial plants.
The Geberit Sovent becomes extremely cost-effective in buildings higher than 5 storeys. Function The specially designed branch inlet fitting reduces the pneumatic pressure fluctuations in stacks, preventing the siphonage of traps. The opening to the stack is one of the key characteristics of the fitting as it allows the branches to be ventilated. Together with the free air circulation in the stack, the opening smoothes the water flow in the connected branches.

branch. It is permitted to use all connection possibilities simultaneously. A maximum of 8 WCs may be connected to a Sovent fitting. Total connection load The maximum permitted water load in a Geberit Sovent stack is 7.3 l/s. The stack dimension, with main ventilation through the roof, must be configured with Ø 110mm/DN 100 throughout. Installation per floor A Geberit Sovent fitting must be planned in every floor where there are connections to the stack. The maximum distance between two Sovent fittings must not exceed 6m.
Geberit Drainage Systems Alternative stack ventilation system
Planning another stack
Insertion on the first floor
If the building design requires more than one stack or the maximum load exceeds 7.3 l/s (DU > 213), additional stacks must be planned and the connections must be divided up accordingly.
When appliances must be connected which are close to the base of the stack (e.g. on the first floor), they are connected to the pressure relief line at the base of the stack (either above or below the floor).

Stack with deflection angle (offset) The building design may require a vertical offset of the Sovent stack. Generally this is possible up to an offset of 1m. If this value is exceeded, a normal vertical to horizontal transition has to be established.
Combining of ventilation pipes Geberit do not recommend combining the stacks into one ventilation stack. If the building structure permits no other possibility than ing the ventilation, these dimensions are calculated as a collector pipe. Generally all Sovent stacks are open and ventilated through the roof. The use of air ittance valves reduces the airflow into the stack which results in reduced performance.

Function The air ittance valve is closed in normal conditions. The flow of waste water generates a negative pressure in the pipe system which causes the valve to open, allowing atmospheric air to flow in. The valve is closed immediately and forms a seal after the pressure has equalised.

As in soil and waste drainage systems, the quality of the material is the main criterion for underground applications. In addition to the attack from the inside, the pipes are also subjected to attacks from the outside. Geberit HDPE provides resistance to the greatly diversified types of chemical attack by the disposal water, as well as by external factors (e.g. acidic soils). Geberit HDPE can be successfully used to prevent penetration underground and provide drainage in brown field or contaminated sites. See the chemical resistance list in section 8.3 for more information or Geberit Technical.

With regard to the ground line between the building wall and the street sewer, where extreme settling can occur, an installation mat must be wrapped around the ground line to act as a deflection leg. In such cases, Geberit HDPE is an ideal material, since it assures tightness and at the same time provides maximum flexibility.

Geberit Silent-db20 overview
Geberit Silent-db20 is a drainage system for buildings
Advantages of the Geberit Silent-db20 system:
with increased levels of sound proofing. Its outstanding acoustic insulation properties are achieved by:
• •
•
Patented high density material specifically developed for this purpose (PE-S2).
•
•
decoupling the stack from the structure.
Time saving installation techniques due to many different connection possibilities.
•
Non compressible rubber lined acoustic brackets to reduce the transfer of structure-borne noise by
Geberit Silent-db20 pipes and fittings are compatible with the existing Geberit HDPE Drainage System.
Fittings with ribs for further improvement of sound dampening near impact zones.
•
Improved acoustic properties.
Simplified fastening technique for use in commercial drainage systems.
•
Bracketing system optimised for the insulation of structure-borne sound.
The complete range consists of pipes and fittings in dimensions from 56mm to 160mm. This guarantees complete acoustic insulation from the appliance connection through to the drainage system.

Features and benefits of Geberit Silent-db20 Density 1.7kg/dm³ Increased density improves acoustic properties.
Resistance to cold Not affected by freeze/thaw conditions.
Thermal conductivity 0.43 W/m.K.
Resistance to abrasion Very high resistance to abrasion; additional security due to the thick walls.
Thermal expansion 0.17mm/m.K Heat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50°C increase in temperature, an expansion of 10mm per linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.
Resistance to hot water Maximum continuous flow temperatures of approximately 60°C. Short periods of discharge at higher temperatures from normal domestic sources are permissable.

Geberit Drainage Systems Geberit Silent db20 systems - general information
Resistance to impact Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very high even at extremely low temperatures (down to approximately -40°C) and thus meets the requirements for externally installed pipes.
Condensation No condensation is expected in the domestic drainage system as a result of the material’s low thermal conductivity and its considerable wall thickness. For areas with longer periods of cooling in high humidity conditions, insulation may be required so please seek advice.
Solar radiation Protected against ageing and embrittlement due to UV radiation by the addition of approximately 2% carbon. Silent-db20 should be stored as per our site recommendation (see section 1.7).
Not electrically conductive Plastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electrical industry, e.g. HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.
Welding temperature Thermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperatures required are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature for HDPE is approximately 230°C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.
Noise Improved acoustic properties. Structure-borne sound must be cushioned by taking appropriate measures (acoustically insulated pipe brackets, insulating material).

Best practice for acoustics
Basic principles of minimising sound transmission from noise source.
Isolate pipe from structure using acoustic brackets and foam barrier when ing through structure. Contain pipes in duct work preferably with an acoustic material either:
•
Structure-borne sound travels faster and further (Fig 1).
•
Airborne sound rapidly attenuates with distance and transfers through multiple layers (barriers).
•
To minimise noise transfer from drainage pipes:
•
Wrapped around the pipe (Geberit Isol).
•

Pre-wall construction
•
All vertical offsets must be made using 2 x 45° bends to minimise noise emissions. No offsets are preferred to minimise noise. 15° minimum angled bends preferred to minimise noise generation. However, for practical reasons 45° should be the maximum. For increased structure-borne noise reduction, install Geberit, Duofix installation systems and associated components together with Silent-db20 acoustic drainage system.

ting methods for Geberit Silent-db20
Geberit Silent-db20 uses the normal HDPE ting methods including butt welding, electrofusion couplings, and mechanical couplings. If using butt welding the plaining blades fitted to the butt welding machine must be changed to carbide steel blades - 240.474.00.1). Mechanical couplings and electrofusion couplings are the preferred method of ing to minimise noise generation, see section 2 for more information. In addition the following alternative methods of ting are available:
7.1
Expansion fittings for Silent-db20 Example: Insertion depth in an ambient temperature of 20ºC (vertical assembly).
Vertical installation
Expansion Socket
To minimise stress on the system it is recommended that an expansion fitting is installed on each floor located above the highest branch connection within 1 metre of the floor level using an anchor bracket positioned around the expansion coupling.
Heavily reinforced extended socket with external ribs to reduce noise transfer. The coupling can be ted to other fittings or pipe using the standard HDPE electrofusion coupling. When bracketing the expansion coupling, use one size larger acoustic brackets, i.e. for 110mm expansion coupling, use 125mm bracket). Insert pipe into sealing socket to the insertion markings on the side of the coupling. The expansion socket must be anchored to the structure. This fitting is only available up to size 110mm. For 160mm expansion, use double sleeve coupling. Please see following page for more information.

Bracketry for Geberit Silent-db20
To maximise the benefit of the acoustic properties of the Silent-db20 system, Geberit Silent-db20 acoustic brackets must be used. These brackets have a rubber insulated lining with controls on restricting the compression of the rubber, removing the risk of over compressing that could result in the transfer of structure borne noise. Diameter of connecting rod between bracket and wall fixing depends on length. Geberit Technical for advice. please see section 3.2.1 for additional data on fixing using drop rods.

The smelting of scrap in the cupola (temperatures of more than 1000°C) and the markedly higher weight of the material make a crucial contribution to the environmental impact of cast iron pipes. If the scrap portion amounts to 100% instead of 50% the overall impact is only slightly improved. The production of alloying elements and high processing temperatures significantly affect the relatively strong environmental impact of stainless steel pipes. An assessment of the environmental impact of the pipes by lifecycle phases arrives at the following results: With respect to all types of pipes, except for cast iron pipes, the extraction of raw materials has the strongest environmental impact while the actual pipe manufacturing process is of minor importance.

Storage of Geberit HDPE and Silent-db20
Handling
•
Ideally, stacks should contain one diameter pipe size only. Where this is not possible, stack largest
•
Take all reasonable care when handling Geberit
diameter pipes at the base of stack. Small pipes may
HDPE and Silent-db20. •
be nested inside larger pipes.
Do not throw or drop pipes, or drag them along hard surfaces.
•
•
In case of mechanical handling, use protective slings
If stored in the open for long periods, or exposed to strong sunlight, cover the stack with opaque sheeting.
and padded s. Metal chains and hooks •
should not make direct with the pipe.
Store fittings under cover. Do not remove from cartons or packaging until required.
On-site storage •
Stack pipe lengths:
• - on a flat base
Site safety
- on level ground - on 75mm x 75mm timber at 1.0m maximum centres. •
