Rehau Edge User Manual

• Anchor points can be used to restrict the
thermal linear expansion into one direction.
• Long pipe runs can be divided into several sections
by adding several anchor points.
• Anchor points can be fixed at tees, elbows or
connectors. Anchor points can be fixed by installing
a pipe bracket directly before each compression
sleeve of the fitting.
• For installation without pipe support channel, install
anchor points at 6 m intervals. Please refer to section
6-6 for more information on pipe support channels.
Pipe brackets shall not be installed on
compression sleeves

Pipe brackets and clips
Use only pipe brackets and clips with the following
properties:
• Suitable for plastic pipes
• Improved acoustic properties through rubber lining
• Correct size (to allow easy gliding of pipe without
pulling the rubber lining out)
• Free of burrs
6.5.3 Spacing between brackets and clips
Choose the correct pipe spacing intervals according to
the guideline values (see Table 6-2) for installation with or
without pipe support channels. AS NZS 3500 guidelines
for bracket and clip spacing are also approved for EDGE
