Suspended
Floor Systems
Underfloor heating
for suspended floors
For suspended timber and composite joists, typically
found in new build and renovation projects - Polypipe
offers a range of unique pre-insulated and pre-configured
systems, as well as more traditional suspended floor
underfloor heating options. Giving you a solution for every
type of suspended floor installation.
Double Heat Spreader Plates (DHSP)
Offering a simple installation system for traditional joists
and spacings, Double Heat Spreader Plates can also be
used in ‘sprung’ flooring systems such as sports halls.
This system uses aluminium Double Heat Spreader Plates to
transmit the heat evenly across the finished floor surface.
12
www.polypipe.com
Suspended Floor System
Fit From Above with Overlay™
Lite 15 - Suspended floor application
For enhanced performance, especially over larger floor areas,
use with our new Overlay™ Lite 15 panels for an integrated
insulated solution.
Fit From Below (FFB)
Suitable for use with traditional or composite joists,
this system offers the ability to fit from below,
even if the floor above has already been installed.
Perfect for cellars or where upper floor coverings
are already in place.
Modular Heating Panels
For the ultimate quick and easy installation solution,
use our pre-configured, insulated panels that include all
the system components already integrated. The panels
are supplied in sized panels which are simply fitted and
connected together on site.
All systems
For use with our 15mm pipe systems. All suspended
floor systems are fitted within the joists so do not add
any build height to the floor.

Existing Floors &
Low Profile Systems
Underfloor heating
that goes over the floor
For existing solid or timber deck floors - Polypipe’s
unique Overlay™ underfloor heating range of low profile
systems are installed over the existing floor. This makes
them ideal for renovation and new build, whole house
and single room projects.
18
www.polypipe.com
Existing Floors & Low Profile Systems
Overlay™
Overlay™ accommodates all types of project and floor
coverings, and the only choice is that of which panel will
be most appropriate for the installation. Both Overlay™
and Overlay™ Lite can be used for the majority of projects,
however the choice of Overlay™ is determined by floor
covering selection. Overlay™ and Overlay™ Lite can be
used as appropriate in the same project.
The more structural nature of Overlay™, however, makes
it ideal for direct tiling or application of floor finishes
which need to be fixed or screwed to the panel.
Overlay™ Lite
Overlay™ Lite is the ideal solution for laminate and
engineered wood floors, which should be laid directly
over the system.
Overlay™ Lite products are easy to install making
it ideal for larger floor areas.
Overlay™ Lite 15
Slightly deeper profile, which can be used on top
of a supporting floor or as a low profile alternative
to floating floor. The system delivers the same
responsive heat but is configured to be more
suitable for larger, “whole house” projects.

Manifolds & Water
Temperature Controls
Polypipe offers a broad range of manifold and
water temperature controls for both traditional
and underfloor heating applications, now
including the new Stainless Steel Manifold with
Secure Fix Bracket.
Manifolds are used in all underfloor heating systems above 30m2,
irrespective of floor type. Manifolds are supplied complete and fixed
with a wall mounting bracket. The manifold comes complete with a
drain and air vent assembly, which can be positioned on either end
of the manifold, and isolation valves are supplied separately for the
supply end of the manifold.
We offer a range of 15mm push-fit manifolds for use with 12mm
and 15mm pipe systems and compression manifolds for use with
our 16mm and 18mm pipe systems.
Each Polypipe manifold includes a flow meter on each flow port to
provide a visual indicator of the flow through rate of each circuit.
Polypipe also offers a range of water temperature control units.
These are used to reduce the water temperature for underfloor
heating systems, when connected to the same boiler used for
radiators or stored hot water, which operate at higher temperatures
than underfloor systems.

Polypipe offers a range of pre-insulated pipe
systems, which provide flexibility, durability
and availability when required.
These systems meet the growing demand for products that are
suitable for renewable heat sources such as remote boilers and
heat pumps. Installation is fast and easy, requiring just a single
lay of the flow and return pipes, which are both contained in a
single casing. The inner water bearing pipes are PEX barrier pipes,
which are contained in a corrugated HDPE outer casing.
Polypipe pre-insulated pipes are fastened using brass mechanical
clamp fittings, which require no special tools or equipment.

application as recommended in codes of practice and other guidance documents
• maximum system service temperature Ts is the maximum service temperature that can occur intermittently
during normal operation
• system malfunction temperature Tm is the maximum temperature likely to be applied to pipes and fittings
in the event of control thermostat failure or malfunction
Note 2:
• c ertain fittings in the PolyPlumb, PolyMax and PolyFit ranges are not suitable for all the Class S service
conditions. The limitations are indicated against every applicable fitting in the Trade Price List e.g.
“Cold Water Only”.
Connections to other materials
Connection to Imperial Copper using PolyPlumb
Imperial ¾” copper pipe is of significantly different size to its metric 22mm
counterpart and therefore requires a different ‘O’ ring to that supplied in
the 22mm fitting. The 22mm ‘O’ ring should be replaced with a ¾” ‘O’
ring (PB9034). Standard 15mm fittings can be connected to Imperial ½”
copper pipe, and 28mm fittings can be connected to 1” copper pipe.
Connection to Irish copper pipe
Irish copper pipe to IS238:1980 can be connected to PolyPlumb fittings
which incorporate the ¾” or 1” adaptor set. Using a standard 22mm
or 28mm PolyPlumb fitting, remove the nut and socket components and
discard. Replace these parts with the relevant adaptor set, ¾” - PB7034
or 1” - PB701. The adaptor sets are distinguishable by the black cap nut.
Connections to chrome plated and stainless steel pipework
PolyPlumb, PolyFit and PolyMax fittings should not be connected directly
to chrome plated copper pipes or stainless steel pipes. To connect to these
pipes we recommend the use of a compression coupler. A pipe stiffener
should be used when connecting Polypipe Grey and Polypipe White pipe
to a compression fitting.
Connecting PolySure press-fit fittings to copper
PolySure press-fit fittings have been designed specifically to fit to Polypipe
grey and Polypipe white polybutylene pipes. To connect to copper pipes
we advise the use of a PolySure press-fit x BSP male or female adaptor,
with the corresponding adaptor being used on the copper side from the
PolyPlumb or PolyFit range. PTFE tape should be used to seal the mating
brass components.
Connections close to capillary fittings
Capillary fittings should preferably be completed prior to the use of
Polypipe fittings. Where this is not possible, care should be taken to ensure
that flux or solder does not come into contact with plastic pipes or fittings.
A damp cloth should be wrapped around the copper pipe close to the
nearest plastic pipe or fitting to ensure against damage by conductive
heat. Pipework should be flushed to clear flux before active use.
www.polypipe.com
43
Connections to incoming cold water supply
There are two options for connecting incoming MDPE mains water service
pipe to Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems. Firstly the push-fit x
compression adaptors provide a one piece transition fitting covering
connections from 20mm, 25mm and 32mm MDPE service pipes to 15mm,
22mm and 28mm polybutylene pipes and most sizes are available in both
Polypipe Grey and White versions. Secondly, as there is a requirement for
a stopcock on the incoming main there is also a combined stopcock and
adaptor which reduces the number of fittings required in a position where
there is often limited space e.g. under a kitchen sink. These products allow
connections from 20mm or 25mm MDPE pipe via a compression end
to 15mm or 22mm polybutylene using a push-fit connection.
Gas, oil, and compressed air
Polypipe systems are suitable for domestic plumbing and heating systems.
Pipes and fittings must not be used for gas and oil supply pipework
or compressed air pipework. In all the above instances metal pipework
should be installed.
Continuously operated re-circulating
systems (Secondary Hot Water
Circulation/Ring main installations)
A continuously operated re-circulating system is a water-replenished
circulating system which is maintained at a constant high temperature
to provide a constant source of hot water. Continuously operated
re-circulating systems are used to distribute constant hot water to wards
or rooms that may be distant from the heat source or hot water storage
vessel. Locations where continuously operated re-circulating systems are
used include, but are not limited to, residential care homes, hospitals and
hotels. Continuously operated re-circulating systems are very different
from conventional hot water supply and central heating systems found
in domestic properties, for which our products have been tested to,
under either BS 7291 Class S or WRAS approval standards, and for this
reason PolyPlumb, PolyMax, PolyFit or PolySure must not be used on any
continuously operated re-circulating systems. Some secondary hot
water circulation systems are used intermittently, controlled by time
and/or temperature thermostats. This application is also unsuitable for
products manufactured to BS 7291.
Re-cycled rainwater systems
Polypipe products can be used in systems conveying re-cycled
or harvested rainwater within domestic properties. All pipework used
in this type of system should be clearly identifiable and this should be
carried out in accordance with WRAS Information and Guidance Note
No 9-02-05; Marking and Identification of Pipework for Reclaimed
(Greywater) Systems. If self adhesive labels are to be used, these should
not be applied directly to the pipe.
44
www.polypipe.com
Chlorine and other additives
The polybutylene material used in Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems
is WRAS approved. It is resistant to the buildup of scale. Normal levels
of chlorine in UK domestic water supplies will not have an adverse effect
on Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems.
However, Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems are not suitable for
systems in which any further additives are ever added, periodically added,
or regularly dosed into or additional to the normal UK mains water supply,
for example chlorine for swimming pools or those used for bacteria
control or Legionella prevention. Systems must not be flushed through
with anything other than water from the normal UK mains water supply
or a cleaning product at the correct concentration that is specifically
recommended for plastic piping systems.
The use of corrosion inhibitor in central heating systems is acceptable
provided that the inhibitor is specifically designed for plastic piping systems
and guidance on their suitability should be sought from the inhibitor
manufacturer prior to adding to the system.
Electrical Safety / Equipotential Bonding
Where Polypipe pipes break the continuity of existing metal pipe,
which may be used for earthing or bonding, this continuity must be
re-instated by affixing permanent earth clips and a section of earth
cable between the copper ends on either side of the plastic sections.
Both the IEE and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating
Engineers now give guidance on the Earth Bonding requirements of
Plastic Pipe systems. As plastic pipes do not conduct electricity,
installations generally require less equipotential bonding than metal
systems although if in doubt exact guidance should be sought.
Light
Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems should be protected from
UV light. Standard decorating paints form adequate protection.
Pipe insulation forms adequate protection for external use.
Polypipe products are delivered in light protective packaging.
Compatibility with other substances
For details of compatibility with building and cleaning substances,
and treatments (e.g. filler foam and wood worm treatments) please
consult the relevant manufacturers to confirm suitability with polybutylene.
Polypipe Plumbing and Heating Systems pipes and fittings can be painted
using emulsion or undercoat and gloss. Cellulose based paints, strippers
or thinners must not be used.
Vermin
There is no evidence to suggest that Polypipe Plumbing and Heating
Systems attract vermin. Where vermin are present they can cause damage
to other services, building fabric and pipes and fittings, and therefore
a qualified pest controller should be employed to remove vermin from
the affected area.

Connections to other equipment
Boilers and appliances:
All boilers and appliances must have safety devices such as thermostatic
controls, cut-outs and pump over-run protection to make sure that
they cannot operate above the Class S working temperature and
pressure limits set out in the table of Class S service conditions above.
Exposure to conditions in excess of those specified could result in failure
of the pipes or fittings with the potential for serious injury.
Gas Boilers:
Pipe should only be connected to gas boilers where the pipe connection
is outside the boiler casing and where the boiler incorporates a high limit
thermostat and pump over-run facility. The pipe connections should be
350mm from the heat source. In all other situations, a section of metal
pipe should be at least 1m in length. In addition for back boilers metal
pipework should be used within the fire opening extending out of the
chimney brickwork.
Combination Boilers:
Where system connections are made to an incoming water supply pipe
from a water meter, or any other device which contains a check valve,
a suitable expansion vessel must be fitted to prevent the expansion
of heated water back down the supply pipe. This is especially important
where a water meter is fitted retrospectively.
Solid Fuel Boilers & Cooking Ranges
Pipes and fittings must not be used for primary or gravity circuits from
solid fuel boilers, cooking ranges or other uncontrolled heat sources.
Solar Panels / Systems
Pipes and fittings must not be used for connection of solar panels
or any part of solar distribution that operates above the Class S working
temperature and pressure limits set out in the table of Class S service
conditions above.

Oil Fired Boilers
Open Vented Central Heating Systems:
The use of plastic pipe and fittings is acceptable when used in oil fired
installations where the boiler is connected to an open vented system,
however the first metre of primary pipework from the boiler connections
must be installed using metal pipe. The boiler must be suitable for this
type of application and all relevant safety features as supplied and fitted
to the boiler must be checked for correct operation. The system must also
be commissioned in accordance with the boiler manufacturers instructions.
Plastic pipe and fittings can also be used in the hot and cold water and
underfloor central heating systems with the exception of continuously
operated re-circulating systems (see page 50) where plastic pipe and
fittings should not be used.
For further information regarding the suitable applications for our plastic
pipe and fittings please refer to the Class S Service Conditions table
as shown on page 48 of this publication.
Sealed Central Heating Systems:
Where a sealed system oil fired boiler is to be used, all primary boiler
pipework to and from the hot water cylinder (if fitted) and any radiator
or towel rail circuits must be installed using metal pipe and fittings.
Plastic pipes can be used on underfloor central heating systems where
the plastic pipes are fitted after the UFCH control unit and manifold
arrangement which must contain a correctly operating thermostatic
mixing valve.
Plastic pipe and fittings can also be used in the hot and cold water system
with the exception of continuously operated re-circulating systems
(see page 50), where plastic pipe and fittings should not be used.
All relevant safety features as supplied and fitted to the boiler, such
as the boiler temperature control thermostat, high limit thermostat,
pump overrun facility and the pressure and temperature relief valve, must
be checked for correct operation at both installation stage and at any
subsequent boiler service intervals. The system must also be commissioned
in accordance with the boiler manufacturers instructions.
For further information regarding the suitable applications for our plastic
pipe and fittings please refer to the Class S Service Conditions table as
shown on page 48 of this publication.

Use of aluminium tape
To comply with the NHBC guidelines regarding detection of pipes in wall
cavities Polypipe recommends the use of aluminium tape. This tape should
be applied directly to the wall sub-structure and pipes should be clipped
on top of the tape. The tape must not be applied directly to the pipes.
“Dot and dab” walling
Dry lined or “dot and dab” walls are commonly used to speed up the
build process and Polypipe systems are compatible with these types of
constructions. Board adhesive or plaster should not be applied to Polypipe
pipe and fittings, especially around the area where the pipes pass through
the wall to feed radiators and appliances. Pipes and fittings must remain
accessible should future maintenance be required.
Handling and storage of products
The packaging of both pipes and fittings is designed to protect from
ultraviolet light and environmental contamination. Pipes and fittings
should therefore be retained in their packaging as long as possible,
and should be stored in a cool dry area.
When on site, fittings should be stored to prevent dust and debris from
entering the fitting and sticking to the pre-lubricated ‘O’ ring. Care should
be taken to avoid scratching the pipe surface during the handling,
storage and installation processes.
Insulation of pipework
If pipe and fittings are installed in an environment that is not heated
or alternatively outside, they should be protected from potential frost
damage in accordance with BS6700 and BS5422.
System testing
Pressure testing of the pipe system is essential however a successful
pressure test using the following steps is not a guarantee of complete
and correct installation and only ensures that pipes have been inserted
into fittings passed both the ‘O’ ring and the grab ring. If pipes have been
scored or scratched during the installation process a high pressure test
as below may not highlight these issues.
1st fix Installations
Step 1:
Pipe and fittings only should be tested. The system should be filled
completely using water not more than 20°C at a test pressure of 18 bar
which should be applied for not less than 15 minutes and no longer than
1 hour. Joint security can be checked visually and by tugging at joints.
2nd fix Installations
Step 2:
Complete installations including appliances should be tested with water
to the maximum pressure allowed by the manufacturers of the appliances
and fittings. Please note, due to Health and Safety reasons pipework
installations must not be air tested.

Pressure testing in sub zero temperatures
Special precautions are necessary if the pressure testing
is to take place in sub-zero temperatures.
This applies particularly in underfloor central heating systems using the
screeded floor system where most of the pipe is encased in concrete.
Due to the contact between pipe and floor panel on screeded
installations, where the screed does not completely surround the pipe,
there may be points where strain is created on the pipe in freezing
conditions which is not normally present.
Therefore it is advisable to drain the underfloor central heating system
once testing and screeding has been completed.
Precautions should also be taken where installations contain large
quantities of fittings which due to the rigidity of their construction
may put undue pressure on the pipe.
