Press for Rehau pipes: advantages and installation

A bit about the brand

Rehau has been producing quality products for a long time, which is multifunctional for use. This brand is characterized by high accuracy and ease of installation. Among users, the brand is also popular because it is easy to use even for a professional. Brand positioning - with Rehau no problems are terrible!

Secrets of pipes and fittings

Rehau provides a large selection of pipes and fittings that are used for water and gas pipelines. It is noteworthy that the company has become more known for its pipes for everyday life, rather than for industry.

The main secret of the company is its kind of polymer, which was manufactured under high pressure when the polymer chains were crosslinked with peroxides. This quality helps to restore the shape after heavy loads. But with minimal and medium loads, polyethylene copes seamlessly.

Rehau is used for cold water pipes and highways with hot liquids. Cross-linked polyethylene in these pipelines makes it possible to fold the system very quickly, as a designer, and also use press sleeves.

What are the advantages of rehae pipes?

1. Have a greater degree of resistance to corrosion and exposure to chemicals. This gives them an extended life in hard mode - up to 30 years and on average - up to 50 years.
2. The inside has a smooth surface, which allows better flow of contents and does not accumulate muddy or other deposits on the walls. This fact makes it possible to apply them safely to the sewage system.
3. Polyethylene pipes are resistant to mechanical impacts and impact resistance. Therefore it is suitable for pumping gaseous, liquid elements with a pressure of 10 bar. By the way, no less strength is maintained by rehau fittings, which allows us to generalize all the pipeline systems - they withstand a pressure of about 10 atmospheres.
4. They are completely soundproof, and this speaks of the soundless operation of the water pipe, gas pipeline, etc.
5. Resistant to various temperatures, from -10 to 200 ° C.Also able to function when boiling water at 100 ° C unlimited amount of time. This fact was penetrated by the master of the installation of heating systems, so often the pipes can be found in new houses.

And yet, in addition to all the listed advantages, we forgot to mention the most important thing, this is absolute inertia, which allows the use of pipes and press for pipes for water pipes for drinking water. And also the absence of threats to the environment and threats to human life.

Installing pipes and press for rehau pipes using

polyethylene fittings Many plumbers are convinced that installing the rewah pipes in addition to being simple, fast, yet environmentally friendly( apparently they are based on harmlessness and non-toxicity). It is only worthwhile to understand,that simplicity and speed is ensured by the availability of special tools that will be able to mount the sliding fittings.

For installation, it is necessary to purchase such tools

1. Diameter expander( expander).
2. Press clamps, which need to clamp the sleeves of connecting elements.
3. Pipe cutter, or a device that can be used to trim the ends and cut the workpieces.

This is a basic kit, without which it is simply impossible to lay down the pipeline system.

In turn, the press for rehau pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene takes place in the following order:

1. Use an expander, so to insert the nozzle of the required diameter into the tool it is necessary to push the handle at right angles to the stop.
2. From the bay the length of the workpiece is measured and its end is cut by guillotine scissors.
3. On the cut off end, put the sleeve and chamfer in the direction of the future joint.
4. Using an expander expand the diameter. It is carried out by placing the tube with the sleeve on the desired nozzle, but so that the sleeve is further from the end, and then connecting the handle of the expander together. Due to this, its diameter is stretched.
5. The diameter has widened, but soon it will begin to narrow, so press the fitting, or the fitting for it, on the extended end.
6. Then it is necessary to push the sleeve to the fitting and use the press clamps, having extended their grips 180 ° with the braking insert inserted in the middle. And the second insert is in the working area of ​​the clamps and is fixed with a trowel.
7. The sleeve is clamped smoothly and continuously, when the grips of the press clamps are moved together. The main thing is not to remove the sleeve from the fitting.

It should be understood that the installation using a press for rechau pipes is performed only once and will not tolerate yet another intervention. During installation, make sure that there is no misalignment of the liner and fitting, because as soon as you can achieve the most sealed connection.
