IMPORTANT.
The pipe should be stored indoors on a flat surface away from any sources of heat, chemicals or
mechanical damage until required for use. When finished check that there is no damage to the outer
EVOH layer.
Should a pipe be kinked it can be repaired by the following method.
Use a hot air gun or similar to heat the affected area by applying heat over the general area. To
avoid overheating, keep the gun constantly moving for about 3 – 5 minutes when the pipe should
recover.
When necessary to bend the pipe to the minimum radius, use the same method to warm the pipe
before bending.

8.0 How it is installed?
8.1 Before you start installing the pipe
1.
All formwork has to be finished and mesh installed on all parts of
project prior to the laying
Tiemme
pipes.
2.
Fix the header firmly in at the selected position, preferably in the
centre of the system in a cupboard, storage room, laundry room,
linen room or utility room.
3.
Cover the manifold to ensure that it is not damaged by wet
concrete during the pour.
4.
Mark the manifold with the name of each circuit i.e. “lounge,”
“bedroom 2 & 3” etc.
5.
Lay out the polystyrene insulation over site.
6.
Clearly mark the position of all external and internal walls and any
other no go zones. A suggestion is the use of yellow pressure pack
paint.
7.
Check the selected laying pattern being used and the pipe
centres, remembering that with a spiral pattern the spacing
starts at twice the nominated centre distance. Refer to
Page 9.
8.
Plan in which order the circuits are to be laid to avoid
having to cross other pipes or areas where internal walls,
cupboards, vanities, toilets etc. may be installed with the
use of concrete fasteners. Also do not lay pipes under any
open fireplaces or slow combustion heaters and other like
appliances.
