The Nueva Terrain PB-1 Technical Manual is an indispensable planning tool which covers all technical aspects of the product range and the correct preparation and installation of PB-1 piping systems using the Nueva Terrain range of PB-1 products.
The Technical Manual is recommended for consultants, specifiers, installers and technical engineering schools. The chapters included in the manual are:
- Plastic materials
- The history of Polybutylene
- Polybutylene characteristics and PB-1 piping systems
- Pressure and temperature resistance of the piping system
- International standards for piping systems
- PB-1 systems and sustainable construction
- Joint systems
- Flow rate and head loss
- Expansion, compensation and clamps
- Installations
- Thermal insulation for pipes
- Quality control
- Annexes
The purpose of this technical manual is to provide an objective and scientific justification of the technical characteristics of the SDP Terrain Polybutylene piping systems for hot and cold water supply, as well as their use in these installations.
The different qualities and advantages of plastic piping compared to metal systems are widely known and accepted. However, the characteristics and in-use benefits of Polybutene Piping Systems are quite different and offer a broad list of expanded capabilities versus other materials. The key objective is to fully and concisely describe both the material, the system, the capabilities, installation recommendations and the applicable legislation and standards.
