Because the plomyCLICK system is warranted by the manufacturer of all its component parts. If you use plomyCLICK fittings with pipes different from those recommended by the manufacturer, the manufacturer will not be able to warrant the successful performance of the whole system. The combination of products manufactured by different companies in the same installation would invalidate the warranty of the plomyCLICK system. The reason is that in that case you would not be installing the plomyCLICK system as such – instead, you would be installing plomyCLICK fittings with some other pipe.

No, it is not.
Product warranty entails the strict observance of the applicable technical regulations concerning a product’s manufacture. In this case, the manufacturer warrants product performance against any manufacturing fault. System warranty concerns the combined performance of two different products joined for a specific application. This application must be the one explicitly indicated by the manufacturer and the warranty will be valid as long as the installation guidelines provided by the manufacturer have been followed.

Yes, but with the following restrictions:
It is possible to use them with PEX and/or Multilayer pipes (not overlapped), provided that their nominal diamenter (ND) and wall thickness are identical to those of plomyPEX and plomyLAYER pipes respectively.
Unless the pipes indicated above are used, the resulting installation will lack the manufacturer’s system warranty. The only applicable warranty will thus be the plomyCLICK product range warranty.

Warranty time: 25 years.
Warranty value: € 3,000,000 max. per accident in the following categories:
plomyPEX product warranty.
plomyLAYER product warranty.
plomyCLICK product warranty.
plomyCLICK + plomlyPEX system warranty.
plomyCLICK + plomyLAYER system warranty.

In addition, installations comprising the plomyCLICK system (pipes + fittings) are covered by one sole insurance company, which comes to expedite eventual claims.

None of the tools usually needed to install traditional plumbing systems are necessary in the case of the plomyCLICK system.

You will only need a pipe cutter or a pair of shears and a beveler.
You will be able to forget about:
heavy, costly tools;
maintenance services;
a power supply unit or an air source for running the tool.
As it does not require tools, the plomyCLICK system helps the professional installer gain flexibility when it comes to implement his installation projects: he will be able to engage more staff without having to acquire new tools.

Yes, you can perfectly trust threads made of PPSU.
Both types of threads are just as reliable both from the technical and the functional points of view.
As a matter of fact, PPSU threads perform better than metal threads. Here are some examples of it:
PPSU threads can be deformed by force and recover their original shape without damage when the stress is removed, while metal threads do not recover their shape if deformed (just try it!)
The mechanical strength of PPSU threads is 83 MPa while materials such as brass have a mechanical strength of 80 MPa.
Cross-threading can be immediately corrected in the case of PPSU, but not in the case of metal threads.
PPSU-threaded joints allow for the use of teflon tape, teflon thread sealant or any chemical sealant.

All threaded joints have the same limitations no matter if they are made of PPSU or metal:
Hemp cannot be used to seal the joint.
The height of the male thread cannot be greater than the heigth of the female thread.
Conical threads cannot be used together with straight threads.
Male threads must have the same thread pitch as female threads.

As it has already been said, PPSU threads have certain key benefits over metal threads while both share the same limitations.
However, metallic inserts threaded into PPSU pieces or pieces of other plastic materials bring about still more limitations, since all the stress resulting from the union of the two threaded parts lies on the plastic base. This may end up tearing the base of the piece in the medium-to-long run.
A second limitation of metallic inserts which is just as important is the different degree of thermal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal. Their different behaviour in the face of thermal oscillations might result in the dismantling of the joint.
We could even affirm that it is more desirable to use a piece entirely made of metal or one entirely made of PPSU rather than a plastic piece together with a metallic insert.
The decision is up to you. However, if you still prefer to use a metallic thread, we can provide you with female threads for the plomyCLICK system which are entirely made in metal – never a plastic piece with a metallic insert (have a look at our catalogue).

Depending on the classification of the house, the service pipe can have a 25 or a 32 diameter. Connect the service pipe to the inner plumbing installation by using the suitable female or male threaded fitting available in the plomyCLICK range.

Of course. You only have to connect a male or female adaptor of the PPR or copper installation to the corresponding female or male fitting available in the plomyCLICK range.

plomyPEX and plomyLAYER pipes are certified by AENOR in Spain and by LNEC in Portugal.
The Portuguese certification body LNEC obliges us to mark every meter of pipe as belonging to Class 2, which corresponds to 70 ºC.

Nevertheless, both plomyPEX and plomyLAYER pipes are also marked as belonging to Class 5, which is the most restrictive one and corresponds to high-temperature heating installations suitable for water temperatures of up to 95 ºC.

For purposes of clarity, this is the classification:
Class 1: Water up to 60 ºC
Class 2: Water up to 70 ºC
Class 4: Radiant in-floor heating or low-temperature radiators.
Class 5: High-temperature heating up to 95 ºC

No, plomyCLICK fittings are not dismountable.
There are many reasons for this:
To avoid defective installation by the installer. If the system were dismountable, nobody could guarantee that it is installed as flawless as it was went it left the manufacturing plant. As fittings are not dismountable, the whole liability as to the setting up and performance of the system lies solely with the manufacturer (always provided that the system has been set up following the manufacturer’s instructions).
The liability of any installation comprising dismountable and/or manipulable fittings ALWAYS lies with the installer. In that case, the manufacturer is released from any liability. plomyCLICK fittings are neither dismountable nor manipulable, which comes to add to the guarantee given to the installer.
Because only non-dismountable fittings can be approved and certified for use in embedded installations. plomyCLICK is this certified.
When using dismountable fittings in an installation, the Installation Regulations require that joints be registered.
plomyCLICK fittings are not dismountable because they have been developed pursuant to gas-tight installation standards, which do not allow for dismountable parts

The parts cannot be re-used because they cannot be dismantled and then set up again, nor can they be manipulated and then re-installed.

Yes, all the elements that make up a plomyCLICK installation are manufactured in the same factory. The factory belongs to the company Ingeniería Plástica del Sur (Grupo PLOMYPLAS) and is located in Granada, Spain. The fact that every element is manufactured in the same place makes it easier to control the production process of the different parts (pipes + fittings) making up the plomyCLICK system.

The only difference is the greater thermal expansion occurring in plomyPEX pipes when subject to heat in relation to the almost unnoticeable expansion of plomyLAYER pipes. However, we must point out that both types of pipes are certified as belonging to Class 5, which is the most restrictive one and allows for temperatures up to 95 ºC.

Yes, the plomyCLICK system is perfectly suitable for highly chlorinated water conduction systems.
All component parts of the system are inert to highly chlorinated waters. In fact, one specific application of the system is the channelling, proportioning and discharging of chemical products. SEE PDF FILE ON CHEMICAL AGENTS.
In addition, this feature of the system makes it an outstanding alternative for industrial plants, canning factories, food processing plants, etc.

Leaks are not a concern with the plomyCLICK system when the system is properly installed. With a life expectancy of more than 100 years, the plomyCLICK system has withstood the most extensive tests in the industry. What is more, all our plomyCLICK fittings and plomyPEX / plomyLAYER pipes are thoroughly inspected before they leave our manufacturing plant.

The temperature and pressure threshold of the plomyCLICK system is the temperature and pressure threshold of the pipe used in the installation, as plomyCLICK fittings withstand higher temperatures and pressure than any of the pipes.
For instance, the maximum temperature resisted by both types of pipes is 95 ºC while the fittings withstand up to 180º.

Two things can happen if the pipe is inserted into the plomyCLICK fitting without previously beveling it:

It will be more difficult to insert the pipe.
The unbevelled end of pipe might scrape off the leak tightness joint.
This is why it is compulsory to bevel the pipe before inserting it.
Please note that not bevelling the pipe automatically invalidates the warranty of the plomyCLICK system. Bevelling the pipe end with the recommended tool by the manufacturer, both inner and outer sides, is always compulsory and not observing this mandatory instruction shall make the warranty policy invalid in case of wrong assembly.

It will all depend on the kind of tool which is used:
If the tool correctly bevels the pipe both inside and outside, the result should be just as satisfactory.
If the tool only bevels the pipe end in the inside, the installer might have some difficulty in inserting the pipe into the fitting, because the tool will slightly flare the pipe. One of the greatest key benefits of the plomyCLICK system, which is the fact that it is easy and quick to install, will thus have been done away with.

The time saved by installing the plomyCLICK system is very relevant for installers because it reduces the budgeted period of execution: In turn, this has the following effects:
In times of increase in the work load, this allows to undertake more installations in the same time with the consequent increase in short-term profitability.
In times of decrease in the work load, this increases competitiveness as opposed to other installers who still use traditional installation systems.

With the same outer diameter, the plomyCLICK system has a smaller inner diameter because polyphenylsulfone allows to manufacture pipe walls thinner than those of metal fittings.

The plomyCLICK system has a smaller roughness length because its component parts are made of plastic.
plomyCLICK fittings offer a lower resistance to the flow at the fluid turning points. The inner curves of tee and elbow joints have been produced by injection, while the shape of the corresponding metallic fittings has been mechanically produced forming right angles.

Any plomyCLICK fitting is compatible with plomyPEX pipes and plomyLAYER pipes, which have different thickness, because its leak tightness joint has been designed pursuant to gas piping system standards.

This guarantees leak tightness even under more severe conditions than those that can be withstood by the pipes themselves.

Yes, always provided that the pipe has the same inner diameter.

Yes, you can use plomyPEX pipes together with plomyLAYER pipes in any plomyCLICK installation.

There is a huge difference between them.
The maximum temperature PSU can withstand is -, while PPSU resists temperatures of 180 ºC.
The mechanical strength taken together with the resistance to high temperatures is much higher in the case of PPSU. For instance, at 95 ºC -. PSU is a - polymer while PPSU is a -

The manufacturer offers installers the possibility of making a practical and technical demo of the plomyCLICK system. Just contact any of our distributors or PLOMYPLAS sales points or make a call to our customer service on the number +34 958 497000 or by e-mail at HYPERLINK "mailto:ips@plomyplas.com" export@plomyplas.com

One of the greatest key benefits of the plomyCLICK system is that it is entirely made of PPSU. Within the plomyCLICK system, every single part will always behave in the same manner as regards thermal expansion and contraction. We must remember that the applicable quality norm requires the system to have a minimum useful life of 50 years. In the case of systems comprising different materials, the differing expansion / contraction rates of each may result in its eventual breakdown
The plomyCLICK system does away with this risk.

Yes, you can. For further details, please, contact manufacturer or representative.

Yes, by screwing the plomyCLICK threaded fittings into the threads in the manifold.

plomyCLICK threaded parts have the most common thread pitch i.e. 19.

If you want to introduce plomyCLICK fittings into an already existing plumbing installation you just have to check that the pipe nominal diameter (ND) and its thickness (either PEX or Multilayer) fits in with the corresponding plomyCLICK fitting.

We talk about profitability because in using the system the installer does save money. Such saving results from a reduction in the cost of materials, labour and tools and their maintenance.

Corrosion.
Galvanic pair (electrolysis effect)
Build-up of Legionnaire’s disease bacteria
Roughness length
Alteration of the organoleptic properties of water
Loudness
Weight
Lime scale
Lowering of the flow in the long term
Long-term tightness effect on water (health-damaging)
PPSU has a lower thermal coefficient

Yes, it is compulsory to make the leak tightness test also with the plomyCLICK system because the norm requires it. Another advantage of the plomyCLICK system is that installation flaws can be detected also under low pressure, and the test can be made immediately following the installation.

Wrap 8-10 layers of teflon tape around the thread leaving the first starter thread bare in order to avoid cross-threading.
