domesticDomestic installation

With its fusiotherm-pipe system aquatherm offers you one of the highest quality and highly sophisticated pipe systems for the field of sanitary and domestic technique.

The advantages in the field of domestic installation are obviously in the areas of hygiene, comfort, physiological immunity and flexibility.

domesticA further plus is the compatibility to our various products like aquatherm-SHT and aquatherm-heating systems, which ensures best solutions for your buildings single-source.

fusiotherm® - a pipe system which has many ap-plications because of its special characteristics and its

Potable water pipe networks

  • for cold and warm water installations i.e. in residential buildings, hospitals, hotels, office and school buildings, shipbuilding, sports facilities etc.
  • house connection
  • boiler connection
  • water distribution

Carnival Conquest

After its big success ashore, fusiotherm® increasingly manages to get hold of the sanitary sector in international shipbuilding. Beside of its corrosion resistance and easy processing - also at sea - the vibration stable PP-R pipe system convinces through its safe connection technique. In case of fire, PP-R (80) does not show an increased brand gas toxicity. There is no risk of the development of dioxin, which is especially important with liners. Numerous registrations, certificates and test results confirm: fusiotherm® - the optimum system for the shipbuilding!

  • Simple and rapid processing as well as easy carrying out of repair work, even at sea.
  • The system is salt water resistant.
  • Fusioning the pipe and fitting the plastic melts to a stable homogeneous unit.
  • fusiotherm®-connections can be pressurized or put into operation immediately after fusioning. All that is required is a waiting time of 10 minutes. This also applies for repair works or additionally installed branches.
  • More than 350 connection elements provide a solution for practically any situation which might occur in the field of supply technology. The system offers detachable connections in form of union pieces, couplings and flanges.
  • Compared to woold, cork, wool or other natural materials the fusiotherm®-System made from fusiolen® PP-R (80) has no increased toxicity. No danger of dioxin-output in case of burning.
  • Low loss of heat of warm water pipes as well as high pressure- and heat stability.
  • fusiotherm®-Faser-Composites-Pipes with integrated faser layer can be installed - like copper and steel pipes - absolutely dimensionally stable. The linear expansion is almostidentical with that of metal pipes.
  • fusiotherm® is convincing by reduced noise flow rate in comparison with metallic pipe systems.
  • The fused joint is chargeable direct after the cooling period.
  • Favourable price.

International certificates

certs
The Fusiotherm®-pipe system is in possession of the
11 most important certificates for the international shipbuilding industry.


Arena auf Schalkeaquatherm undersoil pitch heating for sports facilities

The suitability of the fusiotherm®-pipe system for undersoil pitch heating systems is confirmed by the national authorized institute for plastic and environmental technique as well as by the producer of the raw material.

The exceptional high self-insulating value of the fusiotherm-composite pipes used by aquatherm as distribution-pipes , has been determined by the Research Institute for Heat Technique (FIW). The fusiotherm®-pipes and fittings for the manifold connection pipes can be pre-insulated acc. to EnEV, corresponding to the values determined by the FIW, with an additional PUR-insulation in the PE-corrugated pipe.

The worldwide recognized quality standard of our systems is guaranteed by the DIN-ISO 9001 certified aquatherm-QS-system.

aquatherm is well known as supplier of undersoil system in the German Football league (DFB) and listed at the Union des associations europèennes de football (UEFA).

All components not produced by aquatherm, like heat exchanger,  pressure extension tanks, pumps, mixer, stop-valves and control valves are well-adjusted to our system and also to high quality products of well-known producers. In conjunction with our undersoil heating system and the requirements arising from it, the compatibility of the compounds is certified by all producers.

aquatherm is a member of the Sponsoring Group of Landscape and Playing field Research Giessen e.V.

Connection technique

The complete undersoil pitch heating is installed with the fusiotherm®-pipe system by socket welding technique. Therefore no metallic materials, which due to their corrosion characteristics, from inside as well as from outside, can result in early damages in the pipe system.

A unique and unrivalled connection technique with security for a lifetime - not comparable with other plastic connections like agglutination or screwing.

As even most competitors in the field of undersoil heating produce their pipes of plastic, but  the manifold of metal pipes, these two different pipe materials must be connected by metallic transition. The result of the fusiotherm connection by melting pipe and fitting, is an unsolvable material unit of the elements.

The weld-in saddle technique, developed by aquatherm, is applied for the distribution pipes.

The distribution pipes with weld-in saddles are supplied completely installed to the site, so that only the welding of distribution pipe and heating pipe has to be made onsite.

In the field of connection pipes - from the boiler up to the distribution pipes -fusiotherm®-faser-composite pipes can be supplied with a PUR (Polyurethane) foam insulation in the corrugated pipe. The effect is an additional reduction of heat output via the pipe wall, which again means saving of energy costs. These parts of the supply are offered by competitors partially with commercial steel- or plastic pipes - without insulation.
