1. INTRODUCTION
Polyethylene Pipe
Polyethylene has excellent life expectancy far above any other polymer
used for underground pipework. KPS demonstrates this by offering a 30year guarantee on all items manufactured by KPS and a 15 year
guarantee on complete systems. Polyethylene pipes are easy to install
and are more resistant to puncture from sharp objects than any other
polymer pipes. The KPS Petrol Pipe System is designed from 10 bar
primary line classed pipe which means that the pipe is subjected to a
momentary pressure test at 30 bar before being put into service.
1. INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The KPS Petrol Pipe System has been developed to offer users a cost
effective system which will provide reliable performance over many
years. Careful attention has been paid to minimising the environmental
impact during manufacture and during operation.
As a result of this careful development work and stringent control of
the manufacturing processes, KPS is able to guarantee all components
manufactured by KPS for 30 years from the date of despatch and to
guarantee each installation for 15 years from the date of completion.
To ensure that these high standards are maintained and to protect the
environment it is essential that all handling, storage and installation
work be performed strictly in accordance with the requirements
specified in this manual. It is a condition of all guarantees that the
installation be undertaken by a KPS certified installer.

Application
All installations are to be in accordance with the arrangements shown in
the typical examples see section 10, Installation Examples.
KPS Multi-layer lined (KP-E), Multi-layer lined Conductive (KP-EC) or
Secondary Contained lined (KP-SC) can be used in all fuel system
applications. For product descriptions see section 3,
Product Descriptions.
Arrangement of Pipes
Pipes must be installed on a bed of at least 150 mm of pea gravel
(022 mm). Stones or sharp objects must not come into contact with the
pipe.
Pipes must be laid on a gradient of at least 1% falling back to the tank
unless otherwise specified by the inspecting authority. In vapour
recovery lines it is essential to prevent the accumulation of
condensate in pipe dips and to avoid trapping vapour in low
sections or forming vapour locks.
Where two or more pipes run in a trench the minimum
clearance between adjacent pipes is 100 mm.
The minimum clearance between a pipe and the side of a
trench is 200 mm.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Metallic Connectors
Never bury metallic fittings directly in soil without applying proper and
extra corrosion protection.
Pressurised Pipe System
Special attention must be paid to the installation of pressurised systems.
Direct burial with backfill in accordance with this manual is strongly
recommended. The use of an outer chase or duct pipe around the
system is not recommended.
KPS strongly recommends that pressurised systems with secondary
containment be equipped with a leak detection system.
An adequate and cost effective alternative is when the interstitial space is
filled with water (when necessary mixed with anti-freeze agent). When a
manometer is applied (set to 0 bar) a continuous check can be performed
at regular intervals. A change in pressure indicates the systems needs to
be checked for functionality.
The interstitial space of a secondary contained system must always be
sealed using KP T-fittings at both ends and the ends is best accessible in
the chambers at both ends of the system.
The fixation of the piping system is extra important in pressurised
systems. If the piping system is not thoroughly fixed the operating
pressure and hammer effects (of up to 12 Bar) that occur during
operation can damage the system.
The use of KPS flexible hoses under the dispenser is recommended and
steel pipe risers shall not be used. Rigid risers in a flexible system may
damage the shear valve.
For proper design of pressure systems always consult KPS for specific
advice.
2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Certification
After completing the above tests a final inspection is made prior to
backfilling. The KPS certified installer should make a formal inspection
and complete the KPS Installation Checklist.
Registration
The KPS Installation Checklist is the basis of the guarantee. The
customer shall retain these for a period of 30 years from the date of
installation and shall make them available at all times on reasonable
notice for inspection by authorised agents of Kungsrs Plast AB who
shall be entitled to a copy of thereof on request.
Backfill
Backfilling may be undertaken only after satisfactory completion of
pressure testing and after approval by the KPS certified installer. Backfill
is to be performed in accordance with section 8, Backfill.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Improper backfill may damage the pipe!

Introduction
All components in the KPS Petrol Pipe System are of the highest
quality, resilient and are easy to handle. However care must always be
taken to avoid damage to the pipe surfaces during transport, handling and
storage.
Transportation
Pipes and ancillary fittings for the KPS Systems are delivered in
protective packaging to avoid any damage during transportation.
Deliveries should be made on a flat bed vehicle, free from any sharp
objects.
When loading pipes, racks or coils onto the truck, make sure that the
racks and coils are stacked in a proper way.
Pipes/Coils should not protrude from the surface on which they are
loaded.
Pipe/Coils should be set down horizontally onto the truck bed, use
ropes or similar equipment to harness the load.
12
4. HANDLING
A rack or coil is best lifted with a fork truck. Where forklifts are used
to off load coils, the forks should be protected to avoid damage to the
coil outer surfaces.
When lifting pipe bundles by crane, wide slings must be used. Do not
use chains or hooks.
When pipes, racks and coils are loaded and unloaded with a forklifttruck or cranes, make sure to pick up the load at their centre-points.
Make sure that the load doesnt scrape along the edge of the truck
bed or against any other sharp object.
Pipe and coils should be set down gently and horizontally onto the
ground.
Make sure to take any necessary step to prevent pipe damage during
loading and unloading.
Releasing Coils
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Releasing coils is hazardous. When pipes are coiled energy is stored in
the coil and incorrect release can cause injury. To avoid this, use two
people to secure the pipe end and coil. Remove the restraining bands
carefully and with a rope slipknot.
13
Straight lengths are packed in wooden racks. Always keep the pipes
in the racks until required for installation. Alternatively, stack them
in a pyramid, not more than three metres high, with the bottom layer
fully restrained by wedges. If possible, the bottom layer of pipes
should be laid on timbers, at approximately one metre centres, to
protect the pipes from sharp objects etc.
Always store pipes, coils on firm, level ground, able to withstand the
weight of the pipes and lifting gear and devoid of sharp objects.
Never store KPS Pipes without end caps and in direct exposure to
sunlight.
4. HANDLING
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Exposure to UV rays from the sun may damage the lining.
Trucks or heavy plant equipment running over pipes can cause internal
damage. Deep scratches, more than 10% of the wall thickness, or marks
on the outside will weaken the pipe and are grounds for invalidating the
guarantee.
Small ancillary fittings and sockets are delivered in plastic bags, within
boxes. Upon arrival at site, all boxes and materials should be checked
for signs of damage. All fittings and sockets should be kept in the plastic
bags until ready for use. The plastic bag protects the fittings and sockets
from contamination and oxidation.
Coiled pipe should be unrolled and straightened the day before use for
relaxation and easier handling.
During cold conditions coiled pipe should be pre-heated to room
temperature for easier handling.
14
4. HANDLING
Store pipes on flat, firm ground, able to withstand the weight of the
materials and lifting gear.
Keep pipes and fittings well away from sharp objects and intense
heat.
Keep protective packaging intact until materials are required for use.

Introduction
To ensure that the KPS Petrol Pipe System can be assembled correctly
it is important that the cutting of the pipes and fittings are to the required
length and that preparation is carried out in accordance with KPS
procedures. To ensure a high quality joint, it is important that the pipes
are cut square. Only then can the cut end be properly joined to other
parts in the KPS Petrol Pipe System.
Cutting is best achieved by the use of a KPS pipe cutters. These tools
give a clean and square cut without burrs.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Do not cut the pipe with a saw-edged blade.
The following cutting instructions explain the type of cutting tools that
can be used, how to use them, restrictions and important measurements
when cutting KPS components.
It is important to note that formed products in the KPS System must not
be cut too close to the curved section, as this will prevent them from
fitting correctly into the welding fitting.
In the Secondary Containment System, the inner pipe has to protrude a
specified distance beyond the outer pipe to suit both welding areas in the
KP- 2 SC and KP-T SC welding sockets. Further details are given below
in Cutting Secondary Containment Pipes.

5. CUTTING
Cutting Tools
Cutting Scissors
The KPS cutting scissors can cut KP pipes up to 63 mm diameter. They
are fast and reliable and ensure a clean and square cut.
(Spare blades are available from your KPS Petrol Pipe System
distributor.)
Rotating Pipe Cutters
The KPS rotating pipe cutter is for pipe diameters 48 mm to 125 mm.
These pipe cutters are the most reliable tools for ensuring a clean, square
cut without deformation of the roundness of the pipe.
(Spares are available from your KPS distributor.)
Scissors:
When cutting, position the scissors with one blade on top of the pipe and
move them forward until they make contact with the pipe. Check that the
handles are square to the pipe and that the blades line up square. Then
proceed with the cutting.

Introduction
This is a general instruction for welding KPS pipe designs and welding
fittings. Due to the hazardous area where the welding procedure takes
place, please note:
WARNING
Do not weld where there is risk of flammable liquids or vapours.
Always ensure that petrol or petrol vapours have been completely
removed before welding.
6. WELDING
6. WELDING
The welding fitting should be removed from its packing and checked that
it is clean. It should not be touched, abraded or come into contact with
contaminated material such as silicones, lanoline from human skin or
other greasy substances. Use a cloth moistened with acetone to wipe
clean the prepared pipe, fitting and the bore of the welding fitting.
For detailed information on how to use the welding machine,
see section 9, Pipe Welding Machine.
The Process
Polyethylene pipes and fittings in the KPS system are joined by
electrofusion welding. The method is suitable for use on an installation
site, because it is not sensitive to weather conditions. However, all joints
must be kept dry and clean during the welding process.
The ambient temperature when welding can be between -15C and +45C
(-5F and +110F). The lower temperatures are applicable only under
calm, protected conditions.
The principle of electrofusion welding is that a resistance wire just below
the inner surface of the welding fitting is heated to a temperature
sufficient to melt the PE (polyethylene) material on the outside of the
pipe and on the inside of the fitting. The temperature reaches about
200C. Heat transfer in the polyethylene is slow and only the material in
the vicinity of the wire is melted. The polyethylene expands during
heating and the pressure in the fusion area increases as the surrounding
cold material prevents the melt from expanding. Thus, a homogenous
and strong fusion weld is created.
The power, energy and welding times are automatically calculated and
applied when KPS welding machines are used. Other welding machines
must not be used.
22
6. WELDING
Arrange the pipes so that they are approximately in line and push them
until they meet. Place the welding fitting alongside where the two pipes
meet. Mark each pipe where the fitting ends and renew the mark if it
fades or is erased during the subsequent stages.
Thoroughly clean the outer surface of each pipe by roughing from the
mark back to the pipe end. Use emery cloth, about 120-180 grit. Do not
use sandpaper.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Make sure the surfaces are kept clean and dry. Protect with plastic
sheeting whenever necessary.
23
6. WELDING
Clean the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting with a clean
cloth moistened with acetone.
Connect the fitting onto the pipe and push it firmly to the bottom of the
socket.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Always ensure that the pipe/pipes are pushed to the bottom of the
fitting.
Push the pipe ends into the bottom of the welding socket. Mark on both
pipes the outer ends of the fitting. After welding both of these marks
must still be close to the socket ends.
Clamp both pipes into the welding fixture, so that they cannot move
during the welding process.
Connect the welding machine to the welding fitting with the appropriate
welding cable.
24
6. WELDING
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Only cables supplied by KPS can be used with KPS welding machines.
Ensure that the dimensions of the cable connector and the pin size of
the welding socket conform.
After welding, remove the cables with care to avoid damage on the
connectors.
Start the welding process and follow the procedures for the welding
machines as appropriate.
When the welding has been completed, check that the welding machine
indicates a correct weld.
Sign or mark the fitting to indicate that it has been welded and checked.
Wait at least 20 minutes or until the socket has cooled off to body
temperature before removing the clamping fixture. Normally after 2
hours the weld has reached its full strength.
Testing of the welded joints should take place after the whole installation
has been completed.
25
6. WELDING
With the KPT integrated transition fitting the inner and outer pipes are
fixed relative to each other.
After cutting back the outer pipe to fit the entry boot, roughen the fusion
area surfaces on both the inner and outer pipes with emery cloth (the
entire area must be abraded) over the following lengths:
Cleaning length:
125/110SC
outer pipe
inner pipe
75/63SC
outer pipe
inner pipe
60 mm
70 mm
30 mm
40 mm
Clean the roughened area and the inside of the fitting using a clean cloth
moistened with acetone.
Weld the KP T- SC fitting to the pipes. (Note that the illustration to the
right shows the installation of a KP T75/63SC.)

40 mm
Connect the welding fitting onto the fixed pipe and ensure that the outer
pipe is pushed to the bottom of the fitting. Because the inner and outer
pipes are now integrated, the inner pipe will also be pushed to the bottom
of the fitting.
Prepare the opposite SC-pipe to be inserted into the fitting by marking
the inner and outer pipe lengths that shall be inserted into the fitting (see
drawing). Roughen the surface and clean as described previously in
Welding Single Wall Pipes. Note the restrictions valid for KP 3- SC and
KP 4- SC bends in section 5, Cutting.
Marking lengths on inner pipe (a):
KP 2-125/110SC
120mm

28
6. WELDING
Fit the opposite pipe into the fitting. Start with the inner pipe and push it
fully into the bottom of the socket so that the marking matches the edge
of the fitting (illustration).
Continue with the outer pipe and push it fully into the bottom of the
socket so that the marking matches the edge of the fitting
(see illustration).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
When certain that the pipes are fully inserted, clamp the pipes into the
clamping fixture to ensure that the pipes will not move out of the
welding fitting. Attach the welding cables and weld in accordance with
the instructions in Welding above.

7. PRESSURE TESTING
Introduction.............................................................................................. 30
Single Wall Systems ................................................................................ 30
Secondary Containment Systems.......................................................... 31
Introduction
Pressure testing of the system is vital to ensure the system performance.
The purpose of the pressure test is twofold: To test the strength of the
piping system and to detect potential leakage.
All pressure testing must be undertaken by and in the presence of a KPS
certified installer.
Pressure tests are undertaken after completion of all assembly and
welding but before any backfilling takes place.
WARNING
When using air to pressure test the system make sure to take all
necessary actions to avoid air blowouts. All personnel must keep a
secure distance from the system when pressure is applied. Highpressure air contained in a pipe creates a substantial force that could
cause an air blow-out in case of failure.

8. BACKFILL
8. BACKFILL
Backfill ....................................................................................................... 32
Backfill
Backfilling may be undertaken only after satisfactory completion of
pressure testing and after approval by the KPS certified installer.
Proper backfill supports the pipe system and protects it from mechanical
damage and handles the effects of heavy traffic or other loading imposed
on the pipe system.
The depth of the top depends on the top paving. With pavement of
reinforced concrete it is possible to reduce the top layer to 150 mm but
with other pavement such as asphalt, the top layer must be at least 300
mm.
The space within 150 mm of the pipe shall be filled with pea gravel 022
mm. Do not compact material immediately on top of the pipe,
compacting should be done in 150200 mm layers on both sides.
On top of the gravel, it is usually possible to fill with the previously dug
up material, but with heavy stones removed. See drawings below.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Improper backfill may damage the pipe!
Never install the KPS flexible piping in a contaminated soil.

General Information
KPS welding sockets are welded using a constant current. The energy
input is controlled by the voltage applied to the socket and the welding
time. Before welding is started, the resistance in the socket wire is
measured and, using the measured value, the welding machine
automatically calculates and applies the required energy for proper
welding.
The machine also takes into account the ambient temperature and
automatically adjusts the amount of energy required. Therefore the
machine should always be placed close to the welding socket to attain
the same temperature. If the machine is moved from one place to another
with a large difference in temperature, the machine should be given at
least 30 minutes to adjust to the correct working conditions. The
temperature sensor is attached to the rear (bottom left) of the machine, in
contact with the steel frame.
For further information and details regarding the KPS welding machines
refer to the product manuals delivered with the product.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
KPS recommends that the maximum allowed surface resistance in one
(1) circuit (KP-EC pipe) is 10 M when using 1000 V.
When the test result in a circuit is between 0,01 10 M this is adequate
to ground the circuit (KP-EC pipe) to earth. This is necessary to avoid
risks of problems related to static electricity.
At occasions when the resistance is higher than 10M, for example in
very long fill or suction lines, it is necessary to ground the circuit to earth
more frequently. For grounding details please refer to BS 7430.
