+44 (0) 203 409 1779 Website

Application

Suitable for use within aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems in both standard and harsh environments.

Description

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) pipes and fittings suitable for use within aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems.

The complete system includes all of the components necessary to install and test the system. This includes: pipework, a comprehensive range of fittings, capillary tube, a variety of sampling point configurations and sampling point labels.

Features and benefits:

  • Versatile and robust.
  • Ensures easy, professional installation.
  • Enhances impact strength and toughness at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C, and gives exceptional resistance to accidental damage.
  • Unaffected by corrosive attack from a wide range of acids, alkaline and other aggressive chemicals.
  • Easy material to joint using ABS solvent cement.
  • Lightweight and easy to handle in high and difficult locations where systems are often installed.
  • The standard VESDA pipes and fittings are supplied in red to identify its service as fire. They are also available in other colours (e.g. white & Grey) to accommodate for aesthetic reasons.

Specification data - Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) pipe

Classification data

Standard

To BS 5391-1 and BS EN 61386-1.

Pressure rating

7 bar.

Pipe size

25 mm OD.

Guidance for specification option:

21 mm internal diameter (ID).

Colour

Red.

Jointing

PIP-012 - ABS solvent cement.

Guidance for specification option:

ABS Solvent cement is used to bond pipes. It may also be used to bond pipe accessories such as couplings, socket unions, bends, elbows, tees and end caps to the pipe.

End cap

PIP-007.

Manufacturer guidance

End caps are used to seal the end of pipe networks, effectively terminating airflow and ensuring the integrity of the system.

Bends

PIP-005 - 90° bend.
PIP-006 - 45° elbow.

Manufacturer guidance

Bends and elbows are used to change the direction of the pipe; bends having a wider radius are preferred, though elbows, that are used to divert pipework around obstructions, are also acceptable.

Pipe sockets

PIP-002 - socket.
PIP-003 - socket union.
PIP-019 - inline expansion socket, 100 mm.

Manufacturer guidance

Sockets are the standard method to connect two pipes, while Socket Unions are preferred in situations where pipes may need to be periodically dismantled for maintenance. Expansion Joints are designed for use in environments where temperature variations may cause pipes to expand or contract, such as in refrigerated warehouses.

Connections

PIP-021 - 1 m connector.
PIP-026 - 30 cm connector.

Manufacturer guidance

Flexible Pipe Connectors reinforced internally with a steel wire for extra strength, are installed in situations where bends or elbows are not suitable.

Adaptors

PIP-004 - 27 x 25 mm socket adaptor.
PIP-008 - equal tee.
PIP-016 - 25/10 mm capillary tee adaptor.
PIP-022 - air line tee adaptor.
PIP-034 - 25/10 mm compression adaptor.

Manufacturer guidance

Tees are used for branching a sampling pipe or for attaching capillaries and drop pipes to the air sampling pipe. As for the pipe adaptors, they are used to connect imperial size pipes to the detectors pipe inlet manifold.

Other requirements

PIP-015 - Flush sample point head.
PIP-018 - Air sampling test point.
PIP-027 - Air sampling test point with cap (for 10 mm pipe).
PIP-044 - Flush sampling point kit.
PIP-033 - Sight glass with condensation drain.

Manufacturer guidance

Sampling/ test points.

Valve

PIP-023 - Two-way ball valve.
PIP-024 - Large check valve.
PIP-025 - 12" condensation valve trap with ball valve.
PIP-038 - Quick release kit air line.

Manufacturer guidance

VESDA pipework may incorporate various types of valves, all designed to manage airflow within VESDA smoke detection systems. They play a crucial role in ensuring the system’s efficiency and reliability.

Mounting

PIP-009 - pipe clip.

Manufacturer guidance

Pipe Clips are specifically designed to secure air sampling pipe with a quick clamp mechanism, eliminating the need for additional fixings. These clips are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, offering excellent resistance to UV exposure, oil and petrol.

Operating temperature

-40 to +80°C.
