For connecting hydrants in pipe intersections, an X‑cross for hydrants can be used. The hydrant connection can be selected flexibly among flange, BAIO® and spigot connections. Moreover, all variants are available alternatively with REINOGRIP push-fit couplers for even faster laying of the piping system.
The fittings to be offered must be manufactured from material in compliance with the PE100+ Association and according to DIN EN 12201 with respect to dimensions, tolerances and quality requirements.
Proof must be provided that they were manufactured on the basis of a quality assurance system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001.
For all fittings a certificate in accordance with DIN EN 10204 must be submitted by the manufacturer.
The body of the fitting must be manufactured in the injection moulding process or alternatively, in the case of more complex structures, from a piece of homogeneous semi-finished material so as to ensure the required reinforcement and therefore high stability of the fitting.
Semi-finished materials manufactured from wound rods or the subsequent application of other forms of reinforcing are not permitted.
The spigots must have a long shape to enable both HE butt welding and HW welding.
The PE100 special flanges with an EPDM O-ring must be welded on according to the HE butt welding procedure: the inner bead must be removed.
The backing flange must be manufactured from plastic-coated steel.
