COMMERCIAL KITCHENS

Astral Silencio is ideal for application such as an inlying collecting pipe for draining
greasy waste water from commercial kitchens to the grease separator. Due to its high
temperature resistance (short-term exposure to 95°C / 203°F) long-term exposure to
90°C /194°F, Astral Silencio would be the ideal choice for commercial kitchens where
waste water with high temperature is drained. It has also accomplished the basic
prerequisites of DIN EN 12056 (Gravity Drainage Systems Inside Buildings-Sanitary
Pipework, Layout and Calculation) and the associated norms of DIN 1986-100 (Drainage
System on Private Ground).
For grease separators at a great distance, the use of pipe trace heating may be
necessary. This prevents premature grease accumulation. Ideal temperature of the pipe
trace heating for plastic pipes may not exceed 70°C /158°F.
Apart from this, Astral Silencio can be used for other applications like Industrial
Environment, Laboratory Drainage and Chemical Industries. Please contact us for such
specific requirements for further guidance.

 SOUND INSULATION
BY ASTRAL SILENCIO
The excellent sound insulation properties of Astral Silencio are primarily attributed to its thick-walled design as well as
the special molecular structure and the high density of 1.9 g/cm3. This property enables Astral Silencio to absorb
air-borne sound as well as mechanical vibrations.
The measurements in this test were performed following German standard DIN EN14366 (Laboratory measurement of
noise from waste-water installations) and DIN 4109 (Sound insulation in Buildings-Minimum requirements); noise
excitation by stationary water flow with 0.5 l/s, 1.0 l/s, 2.0 l/s., 3.0 l/s and 4.0 l/s.
In order to precisely determine real noise emission of the pipe system in a room, it requires a more dynamic test set up.

PIPE CUTTING JOINTS WITH THE COMPENSATOR SOCKET

Astral Silencio can be cut simply with a professional pipe cutter or a saw. Make sure that The Astral Silencio compensator socket is used to connect two pipes as well as a pipe and the fitting where
the cut is at a 90° angle on the pipe axis. Remove any burrs, cutting residues, sharp edges, compensation for axial movement is required. For conventional plastic soil and waste pipe systems, the expansion

In principle, Astral Silencio soil and waste system should be installed tension-free and INSTALLATION IN CONCRETE

the bracket after the screws are tightened (longitudinal ROOF DRAINAGE PIPES
movement is possible once installed).
Roof drainage pipes projected through living, sleeping and working rooms can be installed as shown in the diagram.
The specific area weight of the casting should be at least equal to the wall and preferably for both at least 220 kg/m2.
Although the formation of condensation on the outside of Astral Silencio pipes is less than that of metallic pipes, it is
recommended to insulate the pipes and fittings..

 ARRANGEMENTS SUPPORT
OF THE BRACKETS SPACING DISTANCES
During installation of Astral Silencio pipes, the following should be considered: VERTICAL PIPE ROUTING
• In case of horizontal installation, the pipe bracket distances are 10 x the outside of the pipe. This becomes, in case
As a principle, 2 brackets are fitted for each floor-level. One fixed bracket is fitted to the pipe running below a socket in

• Pipe brackets are to be fixed to building materials with high specific area weight. HORIZONTAL PIPE ROUTING

• The fixed bracket must be installed directly above the fitting at the bottom of the pipe end. The sliding bracket
must be installed at a distance of maximum of 2 meters / 6 feet above the fixed bracket. MAXIMUM DISTANCES BETWEEN THE BRACKETS FOR HORIZONTAL AND VERTICALINSTALLATION
• In multiple storey buildings (from 3 storeys and more) the stack pipes of DN 100 or bigger must be secured by

 CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
LOADING AND TRANSPORTATION
CLEANING THE WASTE PIPE SYSTEM
Installing access pipes enables mechanical cleaning of the waste pipe system.
Door fittings give the ability to access the cleaning at any point in the system.

P TRAP SIPHON
Astral Silencio P trap Siphon provides 50 mm/ 0.2 inches water seal to prevent
foul odour coming out of the drainage line. The P trap Siphon is to be used
together with DN 110 bend 45°. √ X
While installing the P trap, it is important to install the pipe support properly to
ensure the safe operation of drainage system. When loading, pipes and fittings should be handeled in such a way that no damage occurs during transportation.
Wherever possible, during transportation the pipes should rest in their entire length on top of each other, so that
sagging can be avoided. Avoid sudden and abrupt stresses on pipes and fittings, especially with temperatures in the

frost range.
The socket plug can be used to plug-off the pipe ends if they are not in use. The
socket plug is to be used together with the securing clip to ensure a safe and
