General safety measures
• Keep your workplace tidy and free of obstructions.
• Ensure there is always sufficient light.
• Keep children, pets and unauthorised persons away
from tools and installation areas. This is especially
important when carrying out refurbishment/repair
work in occupied areas.
• Only use the corresponding components in the
piping system that have been generally approved by
REHAU. Using components which are not part of
the system or tools which do not originate from the
respective REHAU installation system can lead to
accidents or other hazards.
Fire protection
Pay particular attention to the applicable fire protection
regulations and the correspondingly valid building regulations/
regional building regulations/ building codes, especially when:
• penetrating through ceilings and walls
• working in areas with specific requirements of preventative
fire protection measures (observe national regulations)
Trades qualifications
• Only authorised and trained persons are allowed to install
REHAU systems.
Work clothing
• Wear eye protection, adequate work clothing, protective
shoes, and a hairnet if you have long hair.
• Do not wear lose clothing or jewellery as these can be
caught by moving parts.
• A safety helmet must be worn especially when carrying out
installation work at face level or overhead.
Follow the installation instructions
• Read carefully and observe at all times the Operating
Manual for the REHAU installation tool which is being used.
• Incorrect handling of tools can cause cuts, crush or sever
limbs.
• Incorrect handling of tools can damage jointing components
and cause leaks.
• The REHAU pipe cutters have a sharp blade. Store and
handle them in such a way that the REHAU pipe cutters will
not create any risk of injury.
• When cutting the pipe to the desired length, keep a safe
distance between the holding hand and the tool (pipe
cutter).
• When cutting, do not reach into the cutting zone of the tool
or near its moving parts.
• Keep your hands away from movable parts or the tools
pressing area during jointing.
• Before the joint is completed, the fitting may fall out of the
pipe. This is an injury hazard.
Operating parameters
• If the operating parameters are exceeded, the pipes and
joints may become overstrained. Not adhering to the
operating parameters is thus not allowable.
• Keeping within the operating parameters must be ensured
by safety control equipment (e.g. pressure reducers, safety
valves, etc.)
