Pipe an support of pipelines General Pipe support for plastics pipes Plastic pipe systems shoul be installe using supports esigne for use with plastics an shoul then be installe taking care not to amage or over stress the pipe. Arranging Loose Brackets What is a loose pipe bracket? A loose pipe bracket is a bracket which allows axial movement of the pipe, to allow stress free compensation of temperature changes an compensation of any other operating conition changes. Arranging fixe points What is a fixe point? A fixe pipe bracket is a bracket which prevents the pipe from moving in any irection. The aim of which is to control system stresses cause by temperature changes. NOTICE Construction of fixpoint This shoul not be one by simply clamping the bracket onto the outsie of the pipe! This can cause eformation an physical amage to the pipe, amage that sometimes only later becomes visible. It shoul be one either by using pipe brackets locate between two fittings or a ouble bracket must be use.(ouble-sie fixe point). Placing a pipe bracket ieiately ajacent to a fitting restricts movement ue to changes in length to one irection (one-sie fixe point). The inner iameter of the bracket shoul be larger than the outsie iameter of the pipe to allow free movement of the pipe. The inner eges of the brackets shoul be free from any sharp contours which coul amage the plastic. If the brackets insie iameter is not larger than the pipe then the bracket shoul not be fully tightene, thus allowing the pipe to move. Another metho is to use brackets with spacers which also avois clamping the bracket on the pipe. ouble-sie fixe point one-sie fixe point Information: Pipe brackets must be robust an mounte firmly to be able to take up the forces arising from changes in length in the pipeline. Hanging brackets or KLIP-IT pipe brackets are unsuitable for use as fixe points. KLIP-IT pipe brackets These robust plastic pipe brackets can be use not only uner rigorous operating conitions, but also where the pipework is subject to aggressive meia or atmospheric conitions. They may be use for all materials of pipes. Don't use KLIP-IT pipe brackets as fixe points! Spacer to avoi clamping Axial movement of the pipeline must not be prevente by fittings place next to pipe brackets or by any other component affecting the iameter of the pipe. Sliing brackets an hanging brackets permit the pipe to move in ifferent irections. Attaching a sliing block to the base of the pipe bracket permits free movement of the pipe along a flat supporting surface. Sliing an hanging brackets are neee in situations where the pipeline changes irection an free movement of the pipe must be allowe. 215

Coat areas of contact with ahesive an bon them Using the tables for pipe Plastic pipelines nee to be supporte at certain intervals epening on several factors: the material, the average pipe wall temperature, the ensity of the meium transporte an the size an wall thickness of the pipe. Determining the spacing between pipe brackets is base on the permissible eflection of the pipe between consecutive brackets. Information: The values given in the tables apply only to pipelines which are freely movable in the axial irection. Pipelines which are fastene tightly in the axial irection (fixe installations) must be checke for buckling. In most cases, this leas to a reuction of the maximum inner pressure an shorter istances between the support brackets. Furthermore, the forces that act on the fixe points must also be taken into consieration. For assistance, please contact your nearest GF representative. 217
