VALSIR® WASTE AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
1.1 Valsir® HDPE. Waste and drainage system in high density polyethylene

1.1.1 The product

The Valsir® HDPE product line is composed of pipes,
fittings and accessories to create waste and ventilation
HDPE
systems as well as rainwater drainage systems that
operate under negative pressures.

Valsir® HDPE is suitable for above ground installations

thanks to its resistance to UV rays, as well as
underground installation and inside concrete.
It is widely used for waste systems inside the building
for civil and industrial usage, in hotels, hospitals,
laboratories and industrial plants.

1.1.2 Characteristics
• Wide range of diameters from OD 32 mm to OD 315 mm and two types of wall thickness SDR 26 and SDR 33.
• Extremely fast and easy to install thanks to the light weight of the products, the numerous connection methods
available and the possibility of prefabrication.
• Wide range of special fittings that allow the construction of any type of system and transition fittings for the
connection to waste systems in different materials such as cast iron, PP, PVC, etc.
• High chemical resistance and excellent compatibility with the majority of substances normally present in civil
and industrial waste waters. HDPE is immune from the attack by microorganisms and it is not affected by
corrosion due to stray currents.
• An high abrasion resistance and an extremely smooth internal surface guarantee minimal pressure losses and
the absence of deposit formation.
• The pipes are stabilized to reduce dimensional variations and are coloured with carbon black which makes
the system resistant to UV rays.

Figure 1.1 Layering of the pipe.

High density polyethylene
The pipes and fittings are made of high density, UV light
resistant, polyethylene that guarantees high mechanical
resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, extremely
smooth surfaces and high resistance to chemical agents.

 1.1.4 Application field
1 The Valsir® pipes and fittings in polyethylene meet the requirements of the EN 1519 Standard and can be
installed inside buildings destined for residential and industrial usage and in particular for the following purposes:
a) Waste pipes for domestic waste waters (low and high temperature).
b) Ventilation pipes connected to the waste pipes previously indicated.
c) Discharge of rain water inside the structure of the building.

The EN 1519 Standard establishes different applications identified with a specific marking:
• The “B” marking identifies pipes and fittings used inside or outside the building but anchored to the wall.
The use is limited to the S16 series, this series cannot be destined to underground applications of any type.
• The “D” marking identifies pipes and fittings underground used below the building at a distance no greater
than 1 m from the same and connected to the building’s waste system.
• The “BD” marking identifies pipes and fittings destined for both uses as specified in the previous points.
For this use nominal diameters equal to or greater than 75 mm belonging to the S 12.5 series, are allowed.

 1.4.4 Application field
1 The Valsir Triplus® pipes and fittings meet the requirements of the EN 1451 Standard and can be used inside
buildings for residential and industrial use and in particular for the following applications:
a) Waste systems for transporting domestic waste waters (low and high temperature).
b) Ventilation pipes connected to the waste systems previously indicated.
c) Rain water systems inside the structure of the building.

Followings in the European Standard EN 1451 the Valsir Triplus® pipes are suitable for applications identified
with the “B” marking that identifies pipes and fittings for use inside the building or outside, anchored to a wall.

VALSIR WASTE AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 23

 1.5 Valsir Silere®. Soundproof system for waste and drainage inside the building
1
1.5.1 The product
The Valsir Silere® product line is composed of push-
fit pipes and fittings and accessories that guarantee
sound-reducing properties in waste systems, in
compliance with the standards and regulations in
force. This product line is suitable for the construction
of high and low temperature waste systems, for
the ventilation of waste systems and for rainwater
drainage inside civil and industrial buildings, hospitals,
hotels, etc.

The system is characterised by a large wall thickness

and high specific weight which make it possible to
reach a soundproofing performance that is one of the
best available on the market today

1.5.2 Characteristics
• Excellent soundproofing performance; the system offers low noise levels of 6 dB(A) with flows of 2 l/s.
• Absolute guarantee of watertight joints, thanks to the elastomeric seal (factory fitted), that do not require the
use of any special tools, glues or solvents and which simplifies installation.
• Wide range of diameters from OD 58 mm to OD 160 mm and the availability of transition accessories for
connection to existing waste systems in different materials such as cast iron, PE, PVC, etc.
• Excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures.
• High resistance to a wide range of chemical compounds also at high temperatures; not affected by stray
currents.
• An high abrasion resistance and extremely smooth internal surfaces guarantee minimal pressure losses and
no deposit formation.
• Pipes are available in various lengths (from 150 mm to 3 m) and by using the dual socketed pipes and fittings
(sliding double socket) material wastage is avoided.

Figure 1.13 Layering of the pipe.

Push-fit socket with lip seal

The push-fit socket is fitted with a lip seal that guarantees hydraulic
tightness and free movement of the pipe caused by heat expansion.
The shape of the socket ensures speed and ease of installation.

Single layer of high thickness material

The entire wall of the pipes and fittings is made up of the same mix of
polypropylene and mineral loads which guarantees high mechanical
resistance, excellent soundproofing performance, extremely smooth
internal surfaces and high resistance to chemical agents.
