HDPE Floor Drains

Hard wearing and adaptable chemical-resistant waste floor drains for hospitals, laboratories, chemical plants, commercial kitchens, dairies, food packaging plants and other commercial environments. They can be installed on-site, prefabricated or embedded in concrete.

The drains are designed to be used safely with no mechanical load for temperatures up to 80°C. Temperatures of up to 100°C are also permissible for short periods. When frozen, the pipework adapts elastically, but resumes its normal state once the ice has melted.

Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature and offers excellent impact resistance even at temperatures as low as -40°C. When crushed or bent, it will return to its original state.

Because of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals including radioactive effluents. It is insoluble in all inorganic and organic solutions at 20°C. It is only soluble in aliphatic and aromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at over 90°C. The material is corroded by heavily oxidized media (concentrate HNO3, concentrate H2SO4) over long periods at room temperature.

The system offers a range of jointing methods to suit all applications and installation methods, either on or off-site. Options include butt welding, electroweld coupling, screw thread jointing and ring-seal jointing.
