Suspended Floor Systems
Underfloor heating for suspended floors For suspended timber and composite joists, typically found in new build and renovation projects - Polypipe offers a range of unique pre-insulated and pre-configured systems, as well as more traditional suspended floor underfloor heating options. Giving you a solution for every type of suspended floor installation.
Double Heat Spreader Plates (DHSP) Offering a simple installation system for traditional joists and spacings, Double Heat Spreader Plates can also be used in ‘sprung’ flooring systems such as sports halls. This system uses aluminium Double Heat Spreader Plates to transmit the heat evenly across the finished floor surface.
Optimum performance system 12

Suspended Floor System
Fit From Above with Overlay™ Lite 15 - Suspended floor application For enhanced performance, especially over larger floor areas, use with our new Overlay™ Lite 15 panels for an integrated insulated solution.
Fit From Below (FFB) Double Heat Spreader Plate Suitable for use with traditional or composite joists, this system offers the ability to fit from below, even if the floor above has already been installed. Perfect for cellars or where upper floor coverings are already in place.
Modular Heating Panels For the ultimate quick and easy installation solution, use our pre-configured, insulated panels that include all the system components already integrated. The panels are supplied in sized panels which are simply fitted and connected together on site.
All systems For use with our 15mm pipe systems. All suspended floor systems are fitted within the joists so do not add any build height to the floor.

Existing Floors & Low Profile Systems
Underfloor heating that goes over the floor For existing solid or timber deck floors - Polypipe’s unique Overlay™ underfloor heating range of low profile systems are installed over the existing floor. This makes them ideal for renovation and new build, whole house and single room projects.
Optimum performance system 18
www.polypipe.com
Existing Floors & Low Profile Systems
Overlay™ Overlay™ accommodates all types of project and floor coverings, and the only choice is that of which panel will be most appropriate for the installation. Both Overlay™ and Overlay™ Lite can be used for the majority of projects, however the choice of Overlay™ is determined by floor covering selection. Overlay™ and Overlay™ Lite can be used as appropriate in the same project. The more structural nature of Overlay™, however, makes it ideal for direct tiling or application of floor finishes which need to be fixed or screwed to the panel.
Overlay™ Lite Overlay™ Lite is the ideal solution for laminate and engineered wood floors, which should be laid directly over the system. Overlay™ Lite products are easy to install making it ideal for larger floor areas.
Overlay™ Lite 15 Slightly deeper profile, which can be used on top of a supporting floor or as a low profile alternative to floating floor. The system delivers the same responsive heat but is configured to be more suitable for larger, “whole house” projects.

Manifolds & Water Temperature Controls
Polypipe offers a broad range of manifold and water temperature controls for both traditional and underfloor heating applications, now including the new Stainless Steel Manifold with Secure Fix Bracket. Manifolds are used in all underfloor heating systems above 30m2, irrespective of floor type. Manifolds are supplied complete and fixed with a wall mounting bracket. The manifold comes complete with a drain and air vent assembly, which can be positioned on either end of the manifold, and isolation valves are supplied separately for the supply end of the manifold. We offer a range of 15mm push-fit manifolds for use with 12mm and 15mm pipe systems and compression manifolds for use with our 16mm and 18mm pipe systems. Each Polypipe manifold includes a flow meter on each flow port to provide a visual indicator of the flow through rate of each circuit. Polypipe also offers a range of water temperature control units. These are used to reduce the water temperature for underfloor heating systems, when connected to the same boiler used for radiators or stored hot water, which operate at higher temperatures than underfloor systems.

Note 1: • nominal system flow temperature Tf is the intended maximum flow temperature of a system for a particular application as recommended in codes of practice and other guidance documents • maximum system service temperature Ts is the maximum service temperature that can occur intermittently during normal operation • system malfunction temperature Tm is the maximum temperature likely to be applied to pipes and fittings in the event of control thermostat failure or malfunction Note 2: • c ertain fittings in the PolyPlumb, PolyMax and PolyFit ranges are not suitable for all the Class S service conditions. The limitations are indicated against every applicable fitting in the Trade Price List e.g. “Cold Water Only”.
Connections to other materials Connection to Imperial Copper using PolyPlumb Imperial ¾” copper pipe is of significantly different size to its metric 22mm counterpart and therefore requires a different ‘O’ ring to that supplied in the 22mm fitting. The 22mm ‘O’ ring should be replaced with a ¾” ‘O’ ring (PB9034). Standard 15mm fittings can be connected to Imperial ½” copper pipe, and 28mm fittings can be connected to 1” copper pipe. Connection to Irish copper pipe Irish copper pipe to IS238:1980 can be connected to PolyPlumb fittings which incorporate the ¾” or 1” adaptor set. Using a standard 22mm or 28mm PolyPlumb fitting, remove the nut and socket components and discard. Replace these parts with the relevant adaptor set, ¾” - PB7034 or 1” - PB701. The adaptor sets are distinguishable by the black cap nut. Connections to chrome plated and stainless steel pipework PolyPlumb, PolyFit and PolyMax fittings should not be connected directly to chrome plated copper pipes or stainless steel pipes. To connect to these pipes we recommend the use of a compression coupler. A pipe stiffener should be used when connecting Polypipe Grey and Polypipe White pipe to a compression fitting. Connecting PolySure press-fit fittings to copper PolySure press-fit fittings have been designed specifically to fit to Polypipe grey and Polypipe white polybutylene pipes. To connect to copper pipes we advise the use of a PolySure press-fit x BSP male or female adaptor, with the corresponding adaptor being used on the copper side from the PolyPlumb or PolyFit range. PTFE tape should be used to seal the mating brass components. Connections close to capillary fittings Capillary fittings should preferably be completed prior to the use of Polypipe fittings. Where this is not possible, care should be taken to ensure that flux or solder does not come into contact with plastic pipes or fittings. A damp cloth should be wrapped around the copper pipe close to the nearest plastic pipe or fitting to ensure against damage by conductive heat. Pipework should be flushed to clear flux before active use.

Application Information
Connections to incoming cold water supply There are two options for connecting incoming MDPE mains water service pipe to Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems. Firstly the push-fit x compression adaptors provide a one piece transition fitting covering connections from 20mm, 25mm and 32mm MDPE service pipes to 15mm, 22mm and 28mm polybutylene pipes and most sizes are available in both Polypipe Grey and White versions. Secondly, as there is a requirement for a stopcock on the incoming main there is also a combined stopcock and adaptor which reduces the number of fittings required in a position where there is often limited space e.g. under a kitchen sink. These products allow connections from 20mm or 25mm MDPE pipe via a compression end to 15mm or 22mm polybutylene using a push-fit connection.
Gas, oil, and compressed air Polypipe systems are suitable for domestic plumbing and heating systems. Pipes and fittings must not be used for gas and oil supply pipework or compressed air pipework. In all the above instances metal pipework should be installed.
Continuously operated re-circulating systems (Secondary Hot Water Circulation/Ring main installations) A continuously operated re-circulating system is a water-replenished circulating system which is maintained at a constant high temperature to provide a constant source of hot water. Continuously operated re-circulating systems are used to distribute constant hot water to wards or rooms that may be distant from the heat source or hot water storage vessel. Locations where continuously operated re-circulating systems are used include, but are not limited to, residential care homes, hospitals and hotels. Continuously operated re-circulating systems are very different from conventional hot water supply and central heating systems found in domestic properties, for which our products have been tested to, under either BS 7291 Class S or WRAS approval standards, and for this reason PolyPlumb, PolyMax, PolyFit or PolySure must not be used on any continuously operated re-circulating systems. Some secondary hot water circulation systems are used intermittently, controlled by time and/or temperature thermostats. This application is also unsuitable for products manufactured to BS 7291. Re-cycled rainwater systems Polypipe products can be used in systems conveying re-cycled or harvested rainwater within domestic properties. All pipework used in this type of system should be clearly identifiable and this should be carried out in accordance with WRAS Information and Guidance Note No 9-02-05; Marking and Identification of Pipework for Reclaimed (Greywater) Systems. If self adhesive labels are to be used, these should not be applied directly to the pipe.

Application Information
Chlorine and other additives The polybutylene material used in Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems is WRAS approved. It is resistant to the buildup of scale. Normal levels of chlorine in UK domestic water supplies will not have an adverse effect on Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems. However, Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems are not suitable for systems in which any further additives are ever added, periodically added, or regularly dosed into or additional to the normal UK mains water supply, for example chlorine for swimming pools or those used for bacteria control or Legionella prevention. Systems must not be flushed through with anything other than water from the normal UK mains water supply or a cleaning product at the correct concentration that is specifically recommended for plastic piping systems. The use of corrosion inhibitor in central heating systems is acceptable provided that the inhibitor is specifically designed for plastic piping systems and guidance on their suitability should be sought from the inhibitor manufacturer prior to adding to the system. Electrical Safety / Equipotential Bonding Where Polypipe pipes break the continuity of existing metal pipe, which may be used for earthing or bonding, this continuity must be re-instated by affixing permanent earth clips and a section of earth cable between the copper ends on either side of the plastic sections. Both the IEE and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineers now give guidance on the Earth Bonding requirements of Plastic Pipe systems. As plastic pipes do not conduct electricity, installations generally require less equipotential bonding than metal systems although if in doubt exact guidance should be sought. Light Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems should be protected from UV light. Standard decorating paints form adequate protection. Pipe insulation forms adequate protection for external use. Polypipe products are delivered in light protective packaging. Compatibility with other substances For details of compatibility with building and cleaning substances, and treatments (e.g. filler foam and wood worm treatments) please consult the relevant manufacturers to confirm suitability with polybutylene. Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems pipes and fittings can be painted using emulsion or undercoat and gloss. Cellulose based paints, strippers or thinners must not be used. Vermin There is no evidence to suggest that Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems attract vermin. Where vermin are present they can cause damage to other services, building fabric and pipes and fittings, and therefore a qualified pest controller should be employed to remove vermin from the affected area.

Application Information
Connections to other equipment Boilers and appliances: All boilers and appliances must have safety devices such as thermostatic controls, cut-outs and pump over-run protection to make sure that they cannot operate above the Class S working temperature and pressure limits set out in the table of Class S service conditions above. Exposure to conditions in excess of those specified could result in failure of the pipes or fittings with the potential for serious injury. Gas Boilers: Pipe should only be connected to gas boilers where the pipe connection is outside the boiler casing and where the boiler incorporates a high limit thermostat and pump over-run facility. The pipe connections should be 350mm from the heat source. In all other situations, a section of metal pipe should be at least 1m in length. In addition for back boilers metal pipework should be used within the fire opening extending out of the chimney brickwork. Combination Boilers: Where system connections are made to an incoming water supply pipe from a water meter, or any other device which contains a check valve, a suitable expansion vessel must be fitted to prevent the expansion of heated water back down the supply pipe. This is especially important where a water meter is fitted retrospectively. Solid Fuel Boilers & Cooking Ranges Pipes and fittings must not be used for primary or gravity circuits from solid fuel boilers, cooking ranges or other uncontrolled heat sources. Solar Panels / Systems Pipes and fittings must not be used for connection of solar panels or any part of solar distribution that operates above the Class S working temperature and pressure limits set out in the table of Class S service conditions above.

Application Information
Oil Fired Boilers Open Vented Central Heating Systems: The use of plastic pipe and fittings is acceptable when used in oil fired installations where the boiler is connected to an open vented system, however the first metre of primary pipework from the boiler connections must be installed using metal pipe. The boiler must be suitable for this type of application and all relevant safety features as supplied and fitted to the boiler must be checked for correct operation. The system must also be commissioned in accordance with the boiler manufacturers instructions. Plastic pipe and fittings can also be used in the hot and cold water and underfloor central heating systems with the exception of continuously operated re-circulating systems (see page 50) where plastic pipe and fittings should not be used. For further information regarding the suitable applications for our plastic pipe and fittings please refer to the Class S Service Conditions table as shown on page 48 of this publication. Sealed Central Heating Systems: Where a sealed system oil fired boiler is to be used, all primary boiler pipework to and from the hot water cylinder (if fitted) and any radiator or towel rail circuits must be installed using metal pipe and fittings. Plastic pipes can be used on underfloor central heating systems where the plastic pipes are fitted after the UFCH control unit and manifold arrangement which must contain a correctly operating thermostatic mixing valve. Plastic pipe and fittings can also be used in the hot and cold water system with the exception of continuously operated re-circulating systems (see page 50), where plastic pipe and fittings should not be used. All relevant safety features as supplied and fitted to the boiler, such as the boiler temperature control thermostat, high limit thermostat, pump overrun facility and the pressure and temperature relief valve, must be checked for correct operation at both installation stage and at any subsequent boiler service intervals. The system must also be commissioned in accordance with the boiler manufacturers instructions. For further information regarding the suitable applications for our plastic pipe and fittings please refer to the Class S Service Conditions table as shown on page 48 of this publication.

Application Information
Use of aluminium tape To comply with the NHBC guidelines regarding detection of pipes in wall cavities Polypipe recommends the use of aluminium tape. This tape should be applied directly to the wall sub-structure and pipes should be clipped on top of the tape. The tape must not be applied directly to the pipes.
“Dot and dab” walling Dry lined or “dot and dab” walls are commonly used to speed up the build process and Polypipe systems are compatible with these types of constructions. Board adhesive or plaster should not be applied to Polypipe pipe and fittings, especially around the area where the pipes pass through the wall to feed radiators and appliances. Pipes and fittings must remain accessible should future maintenance be required.
Handling and storage of products The packaging of both pipes and fittings is designed to protect from ultraviolet light and environmental contamination. Pipes and fittings should therefore be retained in their packaging as long as possible, and should be stored in a cool dry area. When on site, fittings should be stored to prevent dust and debris from entering the fitting and sticking to the pre-lubricated ‘O’ ring. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the pipe surface during the handling, storage and installation processes.
Insulation of pipework If pipe and fittings are installed in an environment that is not heated or alternatively outside, they should be protected from potential frost damage in accordance with BS6700 and BS5422.
System testing Pressure testing of the pipe system is essential however a successful pressure test using the following steps is not a guarantee of complete and correct installation and only ensures that pipes have been inserted into fittings passed both the ‘O’ ring and the grab ring. If pipes have been scored or scratched during the installation process a high pressure test as below may not highlight these issues. 1st fix Installations Step 1: Pipe and fittings only should be tested. The system should be filled completely using water not more than 20°C at a test pressure of 18 bar which should be applied for not less than 15 minutes and no longer than 1 hour. Joint security can be checked visually and by tugging at joints. 2nd fix Installations Step 2: Complete installations including appliances should be tested with water to the maximum pressure allowed by the manufacturers of the appliances and fittings. Please note, due to Health and Safety reasons pipework installations must not be air tested.

Application Information
Pressure testing in sub zero temperatures Special precautions are necessary if the pressure testing is to take place in sub-zero temperatures. This applies particularly in underfloor central heating systems using the screeded floor system where most of the pipe is encased in concrete. Due to the contact between pipe and floor panel on screeded installations, where the screed does not completely surround the pipe, there may be points where strain is created on the pipe in freezing conditions which is not normally present. Therefore it is advisable to drain the underfloor central heating system once testing and screeding has been completed. Precautions should also be taken where installations contain large quantities of fittings which due to the rigidity of their construction may put undue pressure on the pipe.
