FITT SEWER PIPE SYSTEM

An Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD®, is a standardised and verified way of quantifying the environmental impacts of a product based on a consistent set of rules known as a PCR (Product Category Rules). Environmental product declarations within the same product category from different programmes may not be comparable. EPD® of construction products may not be comparable if they do not comply with EN 15804. This version of the EPD® has been updated to clarify which pipe dimensions the installation results refer to.

3.1 / FITT SEWER EVO Fitt Sewer EVO is a range of PVC-U pipes in accordance with UNI EN 1401-1:2019 standard for sewage and non-pressure industrial drains. FITT Sewer EVO differs from the FITT Sewer pipes in that they have an integrated and non-removable jointing system which guarantees a perfect watertight seal and protects the surrounding environment from any dispersion of pollutants into the subsoil and groundwater. Instead, FITT Sewer pipes have an accompanying non-integrated EPDM rubber gasket. Sewer networks for the collection and conveyance of waste water are of considerable...

3.3 / THE SEWER LOCK® INTEGRATED GASKET FITT Sewer EVO features a socket based jointing system with integrated gasket, mechanically preinserted during the hot formation of the socket based joint. The Sewer Lock® gasket consists of a sealing element according to UNI EN 681, co-moulded and with stiffening ring made of fibre-reinforced polypropylene. This jointing system makes the gasket absolutely impossible to remove and guarantees high performance because: • of its optimum hydraulic tightness both for negative and positive pressure. Sealing performance is proven by the IIP rests carried out...

3.4 / FITT SEWER EVO SN16, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY By offering the new SN16 FITT Sewer Evo, FITT is one of the first Italian companies capable of incorporating in its products the innovation provided for by the UNI EN 1401-01:2019 standard.

3.5 / FITT SEWER AND FITT SEWER EVO PIPE MANUFACTURING FITT Sewer and FITT Sewer EVO pipes are manufactured primarily from PVC resin along with additives, including: calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, calcium-based stabiliser, lubricants, processing aids and pigments. The PVC resin is the main ingredient in all PVC pressure pipes, and is manufactured in Europe primarily from imported vinyl chloride monomer. Internal PVC pipe scrap from production is fed back into the feed mix and utilised in new pipe. The feed mix is heated and mixed prior to extrusion and then water cooled to form the...

4.1 / LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an analytical tool that captures the overall environmental impacts of a product, process or human activity from raw material acquisition, through production and use, to waste management. NORWAY SWEDEN LATVIA DENMARK UNITED KINGDOM CZECH REPUBLIC SLOVENIA CROATIA BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA LCA studies are structured in 4 phases. The goal and scope definition is implemented to clarify the objective of the study, to determine the main methodological boundaries as well as the life cycle processes to be included in the analysis (also...
