IMPORTANT FOR
INSTALLERS & USERS
WATER HAMMER : ASTRAL recommends that all uPVC Plastic piping systems be designed and constructed to
avoid excessive WATER HAMMER. Water hammer can cause damage and failure to pipe, valves and fittings within
the piping system.

THREADED CONNECTIONS : Use a quality grade thread sealant. Do not use substances that could cause stress
cracking to plastic. Major attention must be given while making plastic thread joints. 1 to 2 turns beyond FINGER
TIGHT is generally all that is required to make a sound plastic connection. Unnecessary OVER TIGHTENING will
cause DAMAGE TO BOTH PIPES & FITTINGS. Also give proper attention while selecting the threaded fittings, as
ASTRAL manufacture some fittings with NPT threads & some fittings with BSP threads to give more versatility to
customer NPT threads are not compatible with BSP threads.

SEAL & GASKET LUBRICANTS : Some Lubricants, including vegetable oils are known to cause stress cracking in
thermoplastics materials. A mild soap or commercially available pipe gasket lubricants suitable for uPVC is
recommended where lubrication is required for installation or maintenance service (especially with Flange joints).
Choice of lubricant is at the discretion of the installer.

FLOW VELOCITY : System should not be operated or flushed out at flow velocity greater than 5 feet per second.

 INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
Systems should be installed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with normal industry standards and in
conformance with all local safty, fire and Industrial code requirements. Failure to follow proper installation practices,
procedures or techniques can result in system failure, property damage or personal injury.
Follow manufacturers’ instructions for all related products.

PIPE CUTTING 1
Cut pipe square. As joints are sealed at the base of the fitting socket. An angled cut may result
in joint failur.
Acceptable tools include miter saw, mechanical cut off saw or wheel cutter. Wheel type cutters
must employ a blade designed for plastics.

2 REMOVE BURR AND BEVEL

Remove all burr from inside and outside of pipe with a file, or deburring tool. Chamfer(bevel)
the end of the pipe 10°-15°
CLEAN : Remove surface dirt, grease, or moisture with a clean dry cloth.

DRY FIT 3
With light pressure, pipe should go one third to one half of the way into the fitting socket. Pipes
and fittings that are too tight or too loose should not be used.

4 APPLICATOR

Use an applicator that is one half the pipe diameter.

• Too large an applicator will force excessive cement into the inside of small diameter fittings.
Too small an applicator will not apply sufficient cement to large diameter systems.

CEMENT 5
Apply a full even layer of cement to the outside of a pipe and medium layer of cement to the
inside of a fitting.

6 JOIN PIPE AND FITTINGS

Assemble pipe and fitting socket till it contacts socket bottom. Give pipe a quarter turn. Hold
pipe and fitting together until the pipe does not back out.

• Remove excessive cement from the exterior. A properly made joint will show a continuous
28 bead of cement around the perimeter.

 EXPANSION AND
CONTRACTION
uPVC pipes, like other piping materials, undergo length changes as a result of temperature variations above and below
the installation temperature. They expand and contract 4.5 to 5 times more than steel or iron pipe. The extent of the
expansion - contraction depends upon the coefficient of linear expansion of piping material. The length of pipe between
directional changes, and the temperature differential.
The coefficient of thermal expansion (Y) for uPVC is 3.1 x 10-5 in./in./°F.
The amount of expansion or contraction can be calculated using the following formula :

∆L = Y (T1-T2) x L
∆L = Dimensional change due to thermal
expansion or contraction (in.)
Y = Expansion coefficient (in./in./ºF)
(T -T ) = Temperature differential between the
1 2

installation temperature and the

maximum or minimum system
temperature, whichever provides the
greatest differential (ºF).
L = Length of pipe run between changes
in direction (ft)
There are several ways to compensate for expansion and contraction. The most common methods are :
1. Expansion loops which consist of pipe and 90° elbows
2. Piston type expansion joints*
3. Flexible bends*
4. Bellows and rubber expansion joints*
*The manufacturers of these devices should be contacted to determine the suitability of their products for the specific
application.

Expansion loops are a simple and convenient way to compensate for expansion and contraction when there is sufficient
space for the loop in the piping system. A typical expansion loop design is shown below.
The length of leg "R" can be determined by using the following formula to ensure that it is long enough to absorb the
expansion and contraction movement without damage. The length of leg "A" should be 1/2 the length of leg "R"
R = 1.44 D ∆ L
R = Expansion loop leg length (ft)
D = Nominal outside diameter of pipe (in).
(See table below)
∆L = Dimensional change due to thermal
expansion or contraction (in).
When installing the expansion loop, no rigid or restraining support should be placed within the leg lengths of the loop.
The loop should be installed as closely as possible to the mid-point between anchors. Piping support guides should
restrict lateral movement and direct axial movement into the loop. Lastly, the pipe and fittings should be solvent
cemented together, rather than using threaded connections.
Compensation for expansion and contraction in underground application is normally achieved by snaking the pipe in
the trench. Proper trenching and burial procedures must be followed to protect the piping system.
The table below shows recommended offsets and loop lengths for piping up to 2½” nominal size.
