Aquatherm ti-socket

aquatherm ti-socket CSC-X & aquatherm ti-socket PLA

Product specification

The aquatherm ti-socket is a cross-linked heat shrinkable casing system for half-shell joint protection of pre-insulated pipes. This socket is full length shrinkable and is mainly applied in combination with PUR-half-shell technology. The aquatherm ti-socket consists of the following articles which are supplied in a set as one packing unit:

  • 1 pc    shrink sleeve
  • 1 pc casing shrink film
  • 1 pc casing shrink film
  • 2 pcs PUR –rigid foam insulation element type 1
  • 2 pcs PUR – rigid foam insulation element type 2
  • 1 pc PP-R welding  socket (for medium-pipes of dimension 32-125 mm only)
  • 2 pcs tension tape
  • (only for casing pipes of the dimension 300 mmand more

The aquatherm ti-socket PLA consists of the following articles, which are supplied as a set in one packing unit:

  • 1 Pc    shrink sleeve
  • 2 Pcs    PUR ridgid foam insulation element type 1
  • 2 Pcs PUR ridgid foam insulation element type 2
  • 1 Pc PP-R-welding socket (only for medium pipes of dimension 32 – 125 mm)

All components must be protected from impurities and humidity before and during the processing.

Storage and safety

To ensure maximum performance, store aquatherm  ISO socket in a dry, ventilated area. Keep products sealed in original cartons and avoid exposure to direct sunlight, rain, snow, dust or other adverse environmental  conditions. Avoid storage at temperatures above 80° C or below – 20 °C. Product installation should be made in accordance with local health and safety regulations.

  • triangular scraper, concave rasp
  • Temperature measuring device with contact sensor
  • Wooden wedges
  • Assembly carrier truck

Shrink sleeve system

Backfilling trench

Correct conditions of the trench must be checked before starting the installation of the district pipeline. The digging of the excavation works must be placed in a way that the installation is not obstructed.
For a professional installation of the aquatherm ti-sockets in the trench, ensure that there is adequate work space area around the pipe in the backfilling trench. The trenchbottem must be free from water and sludge. The pipe laying must meet the requirements.

Flame intensity

Adjust the flame according to the outside conditions.

Use weak yellow flame for thin-walled casing pipe and shrink products, at still air, high outside temperatures and less space in the trench (A)
Use moderate blue flame for thick-walled casing pipes and shrink products for high wind and low temperatures (B)
Always aim the torch perpendicular to the casing shrink film and shrink sleeve. Move in circumferential direction quickly around the jacket pipe. Do not overheat the casing pipe because there is a risk of burning the PE-casing pipe
