Project-specific PE connection solutions for transitions between pipe materials, wall penetrations and secure building interfaces.
Contents
Overview
PE material transitions and building connections are required in many infrastructure projects. FRANK provides project-specific PE connection solutions for a broad range of applications.
The solutions cover transitions between PE systems and other pipe and material types. Wall and floor penetrations can be engineered using several sealing and connection principles, and connections can be adapted to complex geometry, different pipe dimensions and existing structures.
Expert consultation supports complex project-specific connection requirements, drawing on proven FRANK sealing and connection technologies.
Applications
Transition from PE/PKS pipe to steel pipe
Flange connections
Connection of PKS pipe to buildings
Connection of PKS pipe through concrete structures
Connection to existing concrete pipes
Wall penetrations
Floor penetrations
Connection between pipes with different outside diameters
Project-specific sealing of structural penetrations
Key Benefits
Connections Between Different Pipe Materials
PE and PKS systems can be connected to other materials using project-specific transition technology. Typical examples include transitions to steel pipe, where the PE pipe is adapted to the steel pipe geometry.
Flange connections allow integration with adjacent systems, and transitions can accommodate pipes with the same internal diameter but different external diameters. The geometry and connection method are selected according to the existing infrastructure and project requirements.
Wall and Structural Penetrations
PKS pipes can be integrated into concrete walls using a shaft connection socket cast directly into the concrete structure. Steel flange connections at concrete walls provide a secure, pressure-tight interface.
Classic annular-space sealing remains a proven solution for standard wall penetrations. For more demanding applications, pressure-tight and project-specific wall penetrations can be engineered using PE sheet systems or alternative suitable sealing concepts.
The FRANK wall collar is cast directly into concrete and is available for wall or floor mounting. The SchlagPress sealing solution enables fast, secure installation where applicable.
