Is Qmax Watertight?

Where Qmax channels are to be installed with a watertight installation to BS EN 1433:2002 please refer to the following guidelines.

The seal between channel units must be checked for cleanliness and then smeared with a lubricant jelly such as proprietary pipe joining lubricant. Guidance on the preparation should be sought from the lubricant manufacturer.

ACO Qmax channels are tested to confirm compliance with the watertightness requirements of BS EN 1433 when filled with water to the top of the channel bore (below the inlet arches). Installation must be in accordance with ACO’s recommendations and the recommendations of the lubricant manufacturer. It is envisaged that the channel joints would not be subject to movement, but any movement of the joint might compromise the watertightness.
