BUTELINE PLUMBING SYSTEM 27 FREEANG CONDITIONS Buteline PB 1 Pipe is the best choice for water reticulation in climates where freezing conditions are possible Buteline PB 1 pipe will absorb the expansion of frozen water within itself and will absorb the additional expansion created by the water freezing inside a rigid fitting and expanding into the pipe Minimise the problem by taking the following precautions Make sure that any metal pipe to PB 1 pipe joints are made in a non freezing area Ensure 150mm between fittings so that ice expansion from a rigid pipe or joints can be absorbed by the PB 1 pipe Bury PB 1 pipe where practical Protect PB 1 pipe from strong winds Avoid placing PB 1 pipework within Polar facing walls where practical S NNNN S O bviously although the reticulation system will suffer no long term detrimental effects should it be subjected to freezing conditions it is not desirable for any reticulated water system to freeze as this will prevent the flow of water Therefore to ensure that the water inside Buteline PB 1 pipes is protected from freezing the following precautions should be taken Insulate PB 1 pipe heavily where freezing conditions may prevail Buteline PB 1 pipe is by it s nature flexible so unlike rigid pipes can absorb the expansion in volume when water freezes without splitting The very small section of the system that are not flexible the fittings are protect
