Hansen HDPE Fittings Nylon 6 Series: The Superior Choice for Potable Water Systems in Malaysia

Hansen HDPE Fittings, made from advanced Nylon 6 Engineering Plastic, are recognized for their exceptional performance in potable water systems. Approved by the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 1989 and the Water Regulations Advisory Committee (WRAS) in the UK, these fittings meet stringent international standards for safety and quality. They comply with British Standard BS 5114:1975 (1981)(AMD.2 – 1987) and ISO 22391-3, ensuring their reliability in both residential and commercial applications.

Mechanical Properties of Hansen HDPE Fittings

Hansen HDPE Fittings, when paired with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipes or Polyethylene-Raised Temperature (PE-RT) Pipes, create an unbeatable potable water system. These fittings are designed to be sleek and compact, allowing them to be easily concealed within walls while providing the strength to withstand high pressures. Key mechanical properties include:

• Cyclic Pressure Shock Test: Hansen HDPE Fittings are the only plastic fittings in Malaysia that have undergone the rigorous cyclic pressure shock test. They are tested at 23°C ± 2°C for 10,000 cycles, with an alternating internal positive pressure of 1 Bar ± 0.5 Bar, at a frequency of at least 30 pressure cycles per minute. This test ensures that the fittings can endure continuous stress without compromising performance.
• Resistance to Pull-Out: The fittings are designed to resist pull-out under tension. When subjected to a maximum internal test pressure of 37.5 Bar, the jointed assembly remains secure and leak-free even after being under constant tension for 1 hour.
• Hydrostatic Requirements: Hansen HDPE Fittings excel under bending stress. When the assembly is bent to a radius of 20 times the diameter of the pipe, it withstands an internal positive pressure of 37.5 Bar for 1 hour without any leakage.
• External Pressure Requirement: The fittings can withstand external pressure as well. They endure 0.80 Bar above atmospheric pressure for 1 hour without any signs of leakage.
• Effect on Water Quality: Complying with BS 6920: Part 1 and Part 2, Hansen HDPE Fittings ensure that they do not negatively impact water quality, making them safe for potable water systems.
• Opacity: The fittings are designed with a high level of opacity, ensuring that the wall of the fittings transmits less than 0.2% of visible light, which helps in maintaining water quality.

Special Features and Advantages of Hansen HDPE Fittings

Hansen HDPE Fittings are not just about strength and durability; they also offer a range of special features and advantages that make them the preferred choice for potable water systems in Malaysia:

• Compact Size: The sleek design of Hansen HDPE Fittings makes them ideal for use in confined areas or locations susceptible to ground movement. Their compact size allows for easy concealment within walls, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space.
• Time-Efficient Installation: These fittings are designed for fast and simple installation, significantly reducing labor time and costs. The installation process does not require any “O” rings, crimping, solvent cement, or compression rings, and there is no need for specialist equipment or skilled labor.
• Cost-Effective: Hansen HDPE Fittings are economically priced, offering significant savings in terms of tools, labor, and time. Despite their affordability, they do not compromise on quality or performance.
• Durability: Designed for long-term service, these fittings offer a leak-free experience throughout their lifespan. The Nylon 6 Engineering Plastic material used in their construction is known for its ability to withstand high stress and heat, making these fittings highly durable.
• Superior Hydraulic Flow: Hansen HDPE Fittings are engineered to provide excellent hydraulic flow characteristics, ensuring that water flows smoothly through the system without any bottlenecks.
• Corrosion and Rust Resistance: Unlike metal fittings, Hansen HDPE Fittings do not corrode or rust, making them ideal for long-term use in potable water systems.
• SIRIM, IKRAM, and SPAN Tested: Hansen HDPE Fittings have been rigorously tested by reputable testing bodies such as SIRIM, IKRAM, and SPAN. These certifications confirm that the fittings meet or exceed industry standards, providing peace of mind to users.

Hansen HDPE Fittings Nylon 6 Series represents the future of potable water systems in Malaysia. Their combination of superior mechanical properties, ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and durability makes them the top choice for engineers, contractors, and homeowners alike. Whether you’re installing a new water system or upgrading an existing one, Hansen HDPE Fittings provide the reliability and performance you need.
