Hot waste pipes !!!

[townfanjon]

Guys your thoughts please

I look after a dentists surgery , they have a steraliser ( looks like a mega dishwasher ) that emptys into some 40 mm solvent weld waste , which is simply not up to the job because is can not take the heat ( we think about 90 degrees )
.After speaking to a couple of manufacturers who quoted me the British Standard . No plastic waste pipe will take anywhere near this heat on a prolonged discharge .

Anybody any come up against this before or got any ideas around it .
Thanks in advance

I had something like this with a piece of machinery in an old folks home it might also have been A steriliser. I spoke to LBC and they suggested a waste pipe which is specifically designed for high temperatures mupvc so that's what I used. All seems fine

What`s that Black stuff called ? Be warned though it is a sod to work with as all joints are rubber O ring and you need a tool to cut a groove in the pipe for the O ring to locate in, pretty sure it takes high temps and all sorts of chemicals. Only ever worked with it the once many years ago.

use copper

Use copper?

use copper

That's what I was going to say. They used it in the past and it can withstand the temperatures so ideal really.

You have a three of options

Steel pipe (press fit or threaded)

Copper (soldered or press fit )

Lab plastic will get a link when I get in from work

That`s the stuff, only solvent weld wasn`t an option I was given so spent 3 days cutting grooves by hand and assembling the pipe runs in 3 labs.

I would just use copper

 

[jonnyswamp]

I've done 4 refurbs in dentists and all specced M UPVC for anything bar general sink waste pipe work
Couldn't say with certainty that they all had sterilisers, but would have thought so

Don`t throw the tools away at the end and yes think it was expensive mind you I had miles of pipe and sacks of fittings.
