System Design and Installation

5.2.3 Connection of Pipes and Fittings

1. VESBO INCOLA Pipes and fittings are connected easily by the
help of elastomeric gasket without any necessity of using oil or
liquid soap.
2. Installing the pipes with removing the gasket is not recommended,
especially in narrow places where the installation is difficult.
3. Dry, unclean or cracked gaskets should not be used in an
installation and should be replaced with new ones.
4. It is important to ensure that the ends of pipes and fittings are entirely safe and clean from
dirt and oil before an installation.
5. Pipes must be connected through their belled ends.
6. During installation, it is advisable not to insert connection points into one another
completely, but to leave a 10mm allowance for pipes to expand under heat (No need for
fittings).
7. Procedures that will make notches, cuts or marks on the pipes should be avoided. The
clamps to be used must completely surround the pipe and have rounded corners, with flat
and smooth inner surfaces.

8. Pipes which will be under the screed must be tested for leakage before screed is poured. As
a result of the test if there is any leakage, pipes should be removed and the test should be
repeated.

5.3 Installations in Vertical Lines

Using the right clamps plays a crucial role in soundproofing. In
vertical lines it is recommended to use specially designed and
patented VESBO Acoustic Clamp System together with VESBO
INCOLA pipes and fittings for the best sound insulation results.

VESBO Acoustic Clamp System consists of a double clamping system comprising a
fastening clamp and a support clamp. Specially designed air channeled rubber gasket located
on the fastening clamp creates an insulation layer against vibrations and prevents the
transmission of sound to the wall. Pipes are fixed onto the installation wall by using the support
clamps.

1. In a vertical installation, a fastening clamp surrounding the pipe should be fixed to the pipe
right under the connection point.
2. A support clamp should be placed right under the fastening clamp and it should be fixed
to the wall. The rubber part of the support clamp is designed not to come in contact with the
pipe. Thanks to this feature, the transmission of sound to the wall is prevented.
