Pushfit Wastewater System Testing
Introduction
To ensure there are no leaks or faults in the operation of the wastewater system, all parts of this system must be tested for water pressure using one of three test methods based on the sixteenth topic of national building regulations.
In each section of the wastewater system, a pressure test must be performed with at least a 3-meter water column. In the Poliran Pushfit systems, due to the high quality of the connections and sealing rings, the test has been successfully performed with up to a 7-meter water column.
The Pushfit molding system used by Poliran is manufactured by IFW, the most reputable mold manufacturer in the world, with high precision of up to 0.01 mm. This ensures reliable and stable performance of the Pushfit system and Polyran products.
Important Notes
▪ Wastewater systems must be tested using the water method and not by air testing.
▪ The pressure test should be conducted at the highest point, especially where a branch is connected near the bottom floor, this area should be tested.
▪ It is important to observe the visual inspection at junctions, horizontal-to-vertical connections, and parts of the system.
▪ In the Pushfit system, only water is used for pressure testing. The sealing system retains its watertightness even under test conditions without any lubricants or special materials.
▪ The appropriate profile of the groove and tolerance in the socket play a key role in water-tightness and long-term sealing.
