VALSIR® WASTE SYSTEMS

TRIPLUS
The product
The Valsir Triplus® system is suitable for the construction
of high and low temperature waste systems, for the
ventilation of waste systems and for rainwater drainage
inside civil and industrial buildings, hospitals, hotels,
etc.

Thanks to its mechanical resistance the system is also

suitable for use in central dust collection systems.
The pipes are composed of three layers of material,
which, when put together, give the pipes high
mechanical characteristics at low temperatures and an
excellent soundproofing performance.

Characteristics
• Excellent sound insulation performance; the system reduces noise to just 12 dB(A) with a flow of 2 l/s.
• Absolute guarantee of watertight joints, thanks to the elastomeric seal (factory fitted), that do not require the use
of any special tools, glues or solvents.
• Extremely fast and easy to install thanks to the light weight of the products.
• Wide range of diameters from OD 32 mm to OD 250 mm and the availability of transition accessories for
connection to existing waste systems in different materials such as cast iron, PE, PVC, etc.
• Excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures thanks to the triple-layer structure.
• High resistance to a wide range of chemical compounds also at high temperatures; not affected by stray
currents.
• An high abrasion resistance and extremely smooth internal surfaces guarantee minimal pressure losses and no
deposit formation.
• Pipes are available in various lengths (from 150 mm to 3 m) and by using the dual socketed pipes and fittings
(sliding double socket) material wastage is avoided.

Push-fit socket with lip seal
The push-fit socket with lip seal guarantees water tightness and
allows movement of the pipe due to thermal expansion.
The geometric characteristics of the socket ensure installation
Intermediate layer speed and simplicity.
Obtained with a mix of polypropylene and mineral fillers
that guarantees elevated mechanical resistance and

system testing at 20°C.
(3) For greater detail refer to chapter 2 “Noise in waste systems”.
(4) Provided protected from direct sunlight, for example, using a special protective paint.
Application field
The Valsir Triplus® pipes and fittings meet the requirements of the EN 1451 Standard and can be used inside
buildings for residential and industrial use and in particular for the following applications:
a) Waste systems for transporting domestic waste waters (low and high temperature).
b) Ventilation pipes connected to the waste systems previously indicated.
c) Rain water systems inside the structure of the building.

Followings in the European Standard EN 1451 the Valsir Triplus® pipes are suitable for applications identified with
the “B” marking that identifies pipes and fittings for use inside the building or outside, anchored to a wall.

Dimensions
The diameters, the wall thickness and the relative tolerances of the Valsir Triplus® pipes are indicated in the
following table.

Acoustic performance: the test methods
The reference standards used for the tests are UNI EN 14366:2004 and DIN 4109:1989 (together with DIN
52219:1993) that specify the measurement methods and the evaluation of the results. The test building is made
up of a completely insulated room with thick walls made of a sound absorbing material of high quality.
It is a real buildings with four floors (with an internal height of 3050 mm), two of which, indicated in the figure as
EG and UG, are the reference floors for noise detection divided by a wall made of concrete with a weight of 220
kg/m2 (250 kg/m2 for the European Standard UNI EN 14366) to which a waste stack is anchored.
The measurement floors are each divided into two rooms: the front room is where the pipe is installed, the back
room contains no installation and picks up the noise vibrations transferred to the partition wall; the back rooms
have a volume of 70.4 m3 (surface area of about 23 m2) while the front rooms are 52.6 m3 (surface area of about
17 m2).

The waste flow (continuous) is ensured by means of a pumping station that guarantees a precision of 5% and
which supplies different levels of flow in relation to the internal diameter of the pipe as can be seen in Table 2.7
The acoustic pressure levels are measured in third octaves with frequencies from 100 Hz to 5000 Hz.

The acoustic results
The testing campaign involved numerous tests being carried out in 1997, 1998, 2004, 2006 and 2014 and the
excellent results obtained following the development of the Valsir® waste systems are indicated in the diagrams
and tables which follow. The tests were carried out both with 2 clips per floor and with 1 clip per floor as the latter
represents the typical installation configuration in residential buildings. Consider that the values obtained were
rounded up to whole numbers as requested by the reference standards.
