Q-FLEX TECHNICAL DATA
WATER SYSTEM DESIGN: POINTS TO CONSIDER
APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATIONS
The complete range of Veltanium Plus pipes and fittings comply with all relevant Australian and New Zealand standards. Veltanium Plus PE-X pipes comply with AS/NZS 2492:2007 for crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) pipe for pressure application, and are certified under WaterMark Licence Num- ber WM74521. Veltanium Plus brass fittings comply with AS/NZS 2537.2:2011 and are certified unde-r Wa terMark Licence Number WM74518 for: ■ Mechanical jointing fittings used with crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) for pressure applications ■ Plastic piping systems for hot and cold water installations.
REQUIREMENTS OF DRINKING WATER
Refer to Australian Drinking Water Guideline 2011 Note that in locations with highly corrosive water composition, e.g. in installations using bore/well water etc., the suitability of Veltanium Plus piping systems must be checked with Veltanium Plus Sales O ice. In some cases, the available water quality may void the Veltanium Plus warranty unless appropriate water treatment is provided.
PIPE SIZING
Required flow rates, loading units, etc. are detailed in AS/NZS 3500. To avoid unnecessary large pipe sizes, Veltanium Plus recommends carrying out pipe sizing based on the method described in AS/NZS 3500 and the Veltanium Plus pressure lo-ss ta bles (available in Appendix A and B) rather than sizing the system in copper and apply- ing the equivalent pipe size table. Please note that the final performance will strongly depend on the available mains pressure, the location (e.g. on top of a hill) and overall size of the building including how many bathrooms and outlets the pipe system has to supply.
