Geberit technology with a system.
If everything is right and fits.
Drainage means more than just draining off water – at least as far as
Geberit is concerned. To ensure that drainage technology can keep
pace with reality on the building site as well as with the high standards
in terms of sound insulation and fire protection, Geberit invests a
great deal of know-how in the development of innovative products.
Even things that have proven themselves
a million times over are further optimized
In Europe, Geberit is market leader in the
field of sanitary technology. In particular,
this is also the case in the field of building
drainage. Hardly any other company in
this industry invests as much as Geberit
in the continuous optimization of existing
systems and in the development of new
technologies and products on a year-foryear basis.
High expertise in fire protection and
sound insulation
In addition to laboratories for sanitary
tech­nology and material development,
Geberit also operates a building technology and acoustics laboratory that is unique
throughout the world. Here, not only individual components but entire drainage
systems are tested for their hydraulic,
acoustic and static characteristics. Thus
for example, the sound transmission of
discharge stacks can be tested and optimized over several floors under realistic
conditions. Geberit works closely with
external testing bodies in the field of fire
protection. Both prototypes as well as
series products are tested under realistic
conditions. This development work takes
full account of the varying national fire
protection standards of different countries.

System solutions with high flexibility
For Geberit, waste fittings and traps are the
foremost part of the waste water installation and, together with the Geberit piping
systems, form a homogenous unit with
simple interfaces. Geberit waste fittings
and traps also create perfect connections
to the sanitary appliances. No matter whether
it is a question of maximum demands on
bathroom design, whether barrier-free applications are called for or simply whether
construction should be as space-saving as
possible – Geberit offers the fitting solution.
Good things are those that professionals
enjoy installing
The success of a product or technology
stands and falls with its practical suitability
on the building site and with its economic
efficiency. For this reason, all new or further
development work takes account of all
feedback and suggestions from plumbers
from all over the world. With this in mind,
Geberit also invests its know-how in its
products and systems.

Geberit Silent-db20.
Waste water on a quiet foundation.
→Flexible and versatile:
fittings for almost every
conceivable installation
situation.
With the Geberit Silent-db20 drainage system the sound insulation
is already installed. As a result it impressively fulfils existing sound
insulation requirements. Pipes, fittings, connections, fastenings and
insulation can be processed economically and offer everything needed
for a practical drainage system.
Triple protection against sound
The mineral-filled plastic PE-S2 is used for
the manufacture of the Geberit Silent-db20.
It increases the weight of the pipes and fittings. This reduces natural vibrations and
effectively insulates the sound. Additional
sound insulation ribs in the impact zones
help reduce noise development. System
pipe brackets for wall fastening decouple
the system acoustically from the wall or
ceiling and prevent sound transmission.
Always the right dimension
The branches in the typical discharge stack
dimensions are hydraulically optimized.
This enables a higher load on the discharge
stack and in part permits the use of smaller
discharge stack dimensions. Pipes and
fittings are available from DN 56 to DN 150.
The Geberit ProPlanner software is suitable
for efficient and correct planning.
Two safe connection types
Two different connection types are available
depending on the application. Screwed
clamping connectors can be loosened at
any time and thus enable correction of the
installation. Full tensile strength is achieved
easily and safely using the electrofusion
sleeve coupling, thus offering additional
safety when laying in concrete. Separation
and installation does not involve dangerous
flexing. Processing residue can be re-used
as fitting pieces or disposed of without
problems.
Pipe ventilation BON-AIR™
For installations which do not permit conventional ventilation for space reasons,
Geberit also offers the BON-AIR™ ventilation
valve for dimensions up to DN 100.

The Geberit Silent-PP drainage plug-in system is ideal for quick, eco­
nomic and sound-optimized installation of drainage systems. It can
be combined with Geberit Silent-db20 without any problems.
Easy, safe processing thanks to strong
materials
The Geberit drainage plug-in system
Silent-PP consists of robust, mineral-filled
three-layer pipes. The low expansion of the
material used enables installation of the
entire drainage system without expansion
sockets. The high ring stiffness of the system pipes and the proven EPDM lip seals in
the sleeves keeping the drainage system reliable and permanently leakproof. Thanks
to cold-impact-strength materials, pipes
and fittings can also be processed at low
temperatures. The high UV resistance also
enables short-term outdoor storage during
work. To enable quick and easy alignment of
the entire drainage system, all fittings have
practical markings. The correct insertion
depth is shown by a simple stop position.
System compatibility with
Geberit Silent-db20
In multi-storey residential buildings, the
cost-favorable connection to the discharge
stack with Geberit Silent-PP has proven
itself. Combining with Geberit Silent-db20
for the discharge stack enables a high costbenefit ratio. Adapter sleeves with stainless
steel claws are available for the connection
between the two systems and create leakproof and unremovable connections.

Geberit offers the ProPlanner planning
software for the calculation and dimensioning of the drainage installation.
Economic, load bearing and
hydraulically optimized
Hydraulically optimized fittings reduce the
noise development in the Geberit Silent-PP
drainage system and simultaneously enable
smaller dimensioning. This makes installation more economical and load bearing of a
smaller duct size is possible and thus takes
up less usable space.

Geberit PE drainage pipes.
The professionals for the rough.
← Fittings and connections for the most
differing areas of use.
Enormous temperature fluctuations, aggressive waste water, pressure,
offsetting and chemical influences: Wherever drainage requires high
resistance capability, you are on the right side with Geberit PE drainage
pipes.
Geberit PE resists temperatures, pressure
and aggressive media
The Geberit PE drainage system is produced
from the robust pipe material high density
polyethylene (PE-HD). It is suitable for a
number of uses such as in industry, commerce or laboratories, for underground
laying, in concrete or bridge buildings as
well as for house drainage. Hot water up
to 80 °C, for short periods and without mechanical load even up to 100 °C, does not
attack the material. It is resistant to roughly
95 percent of all common household alkalis,
acids and chemicals. The pipes and fittings
can also withstand shock, lowering, knocks
or pressure up to 1.5 bar without breakage
or lasting deformation. The plastic used is
environmentally friendly and completely
recyclable. No toxic emissions whatsoever
result during its processing or in the event
of fire.
Geberit PE – long-term stable connections
Geberit PE pipes are available in the dimensions of DN 30 to DN 300 in a broad range of
fittings. Depending on the use, the pipes and
fittings can be connected by butt welding,
electrofusion welding, screw connections
or flanges.
Fits in with Geberit system technology
Geberit PE pipes and fittings are incorporated seamlessly into the Geberit system
with its fire protection, roof drainage and
industry systems and can be combined
with these without any problems. Calculation and dimensioning of the drainage
installation is carried out using the Geberit
ProPlanner planning software.

Geberit Sovent.
Economic and perfected drainage of
high-rise buildings.
The Geberit Sovent fittings for optimized flow enable inexpensive
design of discharge stacks in high buildings. They increase the pipe
capacity many times and render the installation of a parallel ventilation
pipe superfluous.
Tricky challenge for hydraulic technicians
In conventional discharge stacks very special flow laws apply upwards of a certain
length. Quickly changing pressure situations
can result in the floor pipes connected to
the discharge stack being sucked empty
by high negative pressure or being blown
empty by overpressure. Both are extremely undesirable. To avoid such situations,
many high-rise buildings have very generously dimensioned discharge stacks and a
parallel ventilation pipe which is connected
to the discharge stack at regular intervals.
Geberit know-how in pure culture
With the Sovent fitting, Geberit has developed an inexpensive and technically perfected alternative to conventional drainage
systems in high buildings. Geberit Sovent
prevents a hydraulic seal in the discharge
stack, thus increasing the flow capacity
of the discharge stack. At the same time,
Sovent ensures air circulation between
branch discharge pipe and discharge
stack. This makes a parallel ventilation
pipe unnecessary. In addition, a partition
prevents the penetration of foam or spray
water into the branch discharge pipe.
14
Robust and completely system-compatible
Geberit Sovent is available in two different
sizes for discharge stacks with a diameter
of 110 or 160 mm. The fitting is produced
from the resistant plastic PE-HD and can
be welded together with Geberit PE or
Geberit Silent-db20 drainage pipes – absolutely leakproof and pressure resistant.

Geberit Pluvia.
Extract rain instead of allowing it to drain.
Double the discharge amount at half the pipe diameter: Through the
Pluvia negative pressure system, Geberit has, for decades, been
setting standards in roof drainage that gives architects and planners
greater freedom in the construction of halls and roofs.
Economic roof drainage thanks to
negative pressure
The Geberit Pluvia roof water outlets ensure
that the relatively low dimensioned feed
pipes and discharge stacks fill up quickly
whenever it rains. This creates a closed,
quick flowing water column in the pipelines
and thus negative pressure. As a result,
there is no need to take account of a slope
for the horizontal collector pipe. The rain
water is extracted thanks to the negative
pressure. The increased flow speed also
improves the self-cleaning of the pipes and
thus reduces the risk of clogging.
→→ Negative pressure system for considerably
higher drainage capacity
→→ Various dimensions for drainage capacity of
1 to 100 liters/second
→→ Fewer discharge stacks and underground
pipes, fewer channel connections
Planning with Geberit ProPlanner and
Pluvia module
The Geberit ProPlanner software is suitable
for planning a roof drainage system with
Geberit Pluvia. Taking account of currently
applicable standards, the software calculates the entire system, including fire
protection sleeves and sound insulation.
It prepares quotation and materials lists
as well as a hydraulics list. The isometric
graph can be exported to a CAD program
and further processed there.

Geberit also offers the calculation of Pluvia
roof drainage systems as a service.
More freedom of design, less planning
workload
Geberit Pluvia gives architects more freedom of design compared to conventional
roof drainage as a lower number of roof
water outlets, discharge stacks and underground pipes is required. Material costs and
ground work are also reduced.

Geberit Pluvia.
A proven and versatile system.
← React flexibly to all construction situations: Geberit Pluvia
roof water outlet.
Cold and warm roof constructions, inverted roofs or green roofs:
Geberit Pluvia can be used in many construction situations. The three
system components Pluvia roof water outlet, Geberit PE piping system
and Pluvia fastening system create clear installation advantages
compared to conventional roof drainage systems.
Good connections everywhere and at
all times
Pluvia rain water outlets are suitable for
installation in the most varying roof constructions. They can be welded leakproof
to almost all plastic or bituminous roof
foils. The connection to the Geberit PE
drainage pipes is via a fixed welding connection or the Geberit Pluvia connection
pipe that enables even more flexible and
easy installation.
Economic lightweights
The pipe joints for the roof drainage are
designed with Geberit PE drainage pipes.
The individual pipe sections are welded
together so that the tightness required for
the creation of negative pressure is guaranteed. Geberit PE pipes are quick and easy
to process and their low weight facilitates
installation at greater heights. Individual
pipe sections can be pre-assembled in
the workshop.
Warm roof lightweight
construction
Flexible fastening
The flexible Geberit fastening system
makes installation of horizontal pipe sections particularly easy and safe. A square
steel profile running parallel to the pipe
makes it possible to bridge large distances
with just a few fastenings on wall or ceiling.
The fastening system absorbs thermally
related shear forces and tensile loads via
anchor brackets.
Safety in all cases
To be equipped for frequently occurring
heavy rain and resulting static loads on the
roof construction, emergency drainage
must be provided for. This must direct the
water to an area that can be flooded without
causing damage.

With fire protection and sound insulation products that have proven
themselves many times over, Geberit offers solutions backed by a
great deal of know-how and experience. They ensure that you and
your customers can sleep in peace.
Safety in the system
Fire protection and sound insulation of a
drainage system are always only as good as
their weakest component. If elements from
various manufacturers are combined, there
is a risk of compromises at the interfaces.
Compliance with applicable standards
and regulations is likewise more difficult.
Geberit therefore offers you complete
systems with warranty and the evidence
required for your project. This enables you
to offer your customers a demonstrably
high level of safety prior to the spread of a
fire through the drainage pipes. Geberit’s
sound insulation expertise also enables
you to ensure that drainage noise in private
homes, public buildings, hotels and business premises is reduced to a minimum.
Sound insulation from a single source
In addition to the optimized sound insulation
systems Geberit Silent-db20 and Silent-PP,
intelligent fastening and insulation techniques ensure that sound development
from the waste water remains low. The system pipe bracket for Geberit Silent-db20,
the environmentally friendly sound insulation
mat Geberit Isol, the insulation hose and
the self-adhesive insulating tape complete
the sound insulation system.

its sales in its own research and development and registers around 20 new patents
annually every year. The innovation at
Geberit is based on the existing know-how
and the ongoing research activities in specialist areas such as hydraulics, statics,
hygiene, acoustics, product material engineering and fire protection.

Systematic procedure
A customer's need or a brilliant idea is often
the starting point for developing a new
product. Meticulous, systematic work then
follows, because the innovation process at
Geberit does not leave anything to chance.
For example, the required characteristics
of the product material are defined at a
very early stage. If such a product material
does not yet exist, then the material products engineers go to work and develop – in
close cooperation with plastic manufacturers, universities and test institutes – a new
product material themselves. Even though
this involves considerable expense, this
procedure has proven itself, for the development of the sound-absorbing drainage
system Geberit Silent-db20, the Mepla
multilayer pipe or the PushFit piping system
as evidence.
50 years in three months
As soon as the initial prototypes of a new
product are ready, they are tested down to
the last detail. For this purpose, a product
service life of 50 years can be simulated
within three months by applying strict and
tough tests in the sanitary laboratory.
Only the best product solutions in each case
survive this hardness test. Static and
acoustic properties, not only of individual
products but also of entire systems, can
be tested in the Building Technology and
Acoustics Laboratory. Here, such things
like how a particular innovation or improvement behaves in conjunction with other
sanitary technology components is investigated.
New product materials are tested thoroughly.
Once scientists and engineers have given
a new development the green light, then
testing by the application engineers commences. It is only when a product proves
itself on the market in the context of numerous test installations that series production is undertaken.
Noise sources can be precisely determined
with the acoustic camera.

Optimum comfort and minimum
environmental impact – this is
Geberit’s answer to the challenges
of today. As a leading manufacturer of sanitary technology, we
make every effort to use natural
resources carefully, thus making
a contribution towards protecting
the environment.
With cast iron pipes, melting of the iron at
temperatures of over 1000° C and the high
transport weight of the pipes make a decisive contribution to the environmental impact. On the other hand with plastic pipes,
only the raw material is of significance.
Production is very energy efficient and disposal in modern combustion plants causes
only a low environmental impact. This can be
reduced even further through one hundred
percent recycling.
This begins with the development of our
products and extends to their manufacture
and use through to responsible recycling.
Geberit products are durable and reliable
goods that make a significant contribution
to protecting natural resources.
The advantages for you as customer is obvious: you benefit from a sound-optimized
and durable drainage system that can be
installed easily and quickly. At the same
time, you create an added value for the
environment.
