The speedpipe indoor from GABO, type 3502, is a pipe system specifically developed for indoor building applications for the installation of fiber bundles, micro- and mini-cables. The system is fully tested according to standard EN 61386-22 in accordance with the EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, ensuring compliance with legal safety requirements, installation and laying regulations, as well as compatibility with fire barriers. The pipes are flame retardant and have been tested for halogen-free properties according to EN 60684-2 and low smoke emission according to EN 61034-2, making them particularly suitable for indoor use.
Applications
The speedpipe indoor is designed for installation in buildings, particularly in ducts, tunnels or other enclosed laying areas. The reinforced wall thickness provides increased mechanical load capacity, making it suitable for areas with higher stress risks. The optimized glide ribs inside the pipes facilitate the blowing-in of cables and fibers, making installation more efficient and less labor-intensive.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The system features a special internal coating with optimized glide ribs that reduce friction during the blowing-in of cables and fibers. This enables clean and damage-free installation, especially over long distances. The flame retardant properties and testing according to EN 61386-22 ensure compliance with legal requirements for electrical equipment. The halogen-free and low smoke emission characteristics contribute to safety in case of fire by minimizing the formation of toxic gases and smoke.
Technology Explained Simply
The speedpipe indoor consists of a robust plastic pipe optimized for indoor use. The reinforced wall thickness increases mechanical stability, which is particularly beneficial when installing in ducts or tunnels. Testing according to EN 61386-22 includes fire tests, ensuring the system meets electrical safety requirements. Halogen-free means that no halogen-containing gases are released in case of fire, reducing risks to people and the environment. Low smoke emission according to EN 61034-2 ensures minimal smoke development during a fire, facilitating evacuation.
Compatibility and Accessories
The speedpipe indoor system is compatible with various accessories that support installation. These include, for example, speedpipe cutters (item 1204), indoor bends (items 1415 and 1414), dust caps (item 1968), single pull seals (items 1324 and 1320), blowing couplings with Gas-Stop (item 1335), double socket couplings (item 1220), marking rings (item 2017), and end plugs (item 1694). These components enable flexible and secure installation in different scenarios.
Installation and Mounting
The speedpipe indoor is delivered on a wooden single-use reel or a plastic reel (cardboard), optimized for transport and installation. The reels facilitate handling and prevent damage during transport. The blowing-in of cables and fibers is enabled by the glide ribs inside the pipe, making installation efficient and damage-free. The use of accessories such as bends, couplings, and seals allows for adaptable and secure installation at various locations.
Operational Advantages
The speedpipe indoor offers high mechanical stability due to the reinforced wall thickness, increasing the system's service life. The flame retardant, halogen-free, and low smoke emission properties enhance safety in case of fire. The optimized glide ribs inside reduce friction during blowing-in, accelerating installation and minimizing cable damage risks. Compatibility with various accessories enables flexible and application-specific installation.
