Environmental declaration No environmental declaration (EPD) has been worked out for the product. Effect on drinking water The system is judged to not release compounds to drinking water in amounts that can cause taste, odour or be dangerous to human health. 6. Special conditions for use and installation Design considerations The PEX-pipes shall be easily accessible for replacement after installation. The outer protection tubes shall be installed so that damaged PEX-pipes can be replaced without damaging any building construction. Leakages shall be easily discovered and shall not damage other installations or building parts. The main goal for the outer protection tube is to drain potential leakages to the floor gully in a wet room. Water leakages shall be directed through the manifold cupboard's draining tube to a visible spot, not into the floor gully directly. Installation LK Universal pipe in tube system shall be installed as described in Building Research Design Sheet 553.117 Røri-rør-systemer for vannforsyning and in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. Components, as described in Table 1, shall be used when installing LK Universal pipe in tube system only. The internal control form, accompanying the manifold cabinet, shall be completed before commissioning. Dimensioning Chosen pipe dimensions shall give enough water to the sanitary equipment. The PEX-pipes shall be easily accessible for replacement after installation also. The following factors are controlling the exchangeability; pipe dimension, pipe length, fixation and number of bends. The exchangeability of the PEX-pipe must be controlled before finishing the building construction if the pipe lengths are more than 10 meters. Table 2 shows suggested water flow capacity for different sanitary equipment with recommended pipe dimensions and maximum pipe length with respect to exchangeability. The water pressure must be at least 5 bars in front of the manifold for Table 2 to be valid.

Outer protection tubes must be fastened to the cabinet by using LK Pipe Inlet together with LK Fixing Plate. The outer protection tubes must be cut above the sill height in the bottom of the cabinet. The drain tube must be cut as close as possible to the cabinet's bottom as described in Fig. 6. Manifold Cabinets for wall installation shall be mounted at a height that ensures the outer protection tubes come straight into the cabinet. Draining of water leakage from the cabinet to the floor gully must be guided through a protection tube with an outside diameter of 25 mm and an LK Leaking Indication Plate. LK Pipe Membrane 25 must be used when the draining penetrates the wall in a wet zone. The drain tube has a capacity 0.25 l/s. The drain tube can not be more than 1.5 meters. When LK Manifold Cabinet UNI is installed in the ceiling, then it must be mounted in a wet room with draining ability to a water tight floor with gully. The front door must be installed level with the ceiling and the water splash protector must be removed. Water shut off valves should not be located inside cabinets in ceilings. If the valve has to be located inside, then it must be easily accessible. LK Pipe Inlet in the cabinet shall be controlled for water tightness before completion of the building construction. The water capacity of the drain tube shall also be controlled before finishing the wall. The water splash protector shall always be placed inside LK Manifold Cabinet UNI with exception of when the cabinet is mounted in a ceiling. It is important that the manifolds are clamped inside the cupboard to avoid bothersome noise from water hammers when closing of taps.

SINTEF Technical Approval - No. 20312 Page 4 of 6 Clamping of protection tubes Fixations in accordance with Table 1 that fixes the protection tubes well to the building construction shall be used. Clamping of protection tubes is especially important before and after a bend, in the middle of a bend, and also where tubes pass through a building part and in conjunction with wall boxes and manifold cabinets. Protection tubes should be clamped in conjunction with wall boxes and manifold cabinets with a distance of 150-300 mm. The clamp space on straight pipes should not exceed 0.6 m. LK Pipe Holding Nail should be used for clamping of protection tubes when the building construction is made of concrete. Installation of wall boxes LK Wall Box UNI shall be installed as described in installation instruction NO.29.C.14.1410 and LK SmartBox shall be installed as described in installation instruction NO.29.C.30.170109. Fig. 6 Correct installation of LK Manifold Cabinet UNI in wet rooms Manifold Cabinets without any chance of draining water leakages to a floor gully must be installed with a leakage detector as described in Fig. 7. LK VannStopp with SINTEF Technical Approval no. 20598 should be used. This solution can be relevant if the cabinet must be installed in rooms like offices, toilet room or kitchens without floor gullies. Installation of wall boxes in wet zones Wall boxes and belonging sleeve/collar shall always be used in wet zones made of liquid membrane or watertight boards to ensure a water tight connection to the construction. The sleeve/collar must be installed as described in the installation instruction from LK Systems AB. The tightening procedure of LK wall boxes in wet zones with bathroom panels shall follow the description as given in the technical approval of the panels. Water leakages protection in kitchen and toilet room Kitchen unit and toilet rooms are considered dry zones, i.e. rooms without gully and water tight floor. It is not required to use wall boxes in dry zones, but it is highly recommended. The wall box ensures a watertight connection between box and protection tube, and a good fixation to avoid trouble with expansion forces. Floors in toilet rooms or the bottom floor inside the kitchen sink unit should have a watertight covering and a leakage detector to avoid damages from potential water leakages, see Fig. 8. Fig. 7 Manifold cabinet without draining must be installed with a leakage detector which shuts off the water supply immediately if leakages occur Manifolds Manifolds should preferably be installed inside a manifold cabinet, but manifolds can be installed visibly in a wet room with a watertight floor membrane and gully. It is important to fix the manifolds well to the building construction.

SINTEF Technical Approval - No. 20312 Page 5 of 6 Cold and hot water insulation Insulation of pipes must be considered if it is necessary in systems where it is needed for cold and hot water or for instance when the pipes are cast in concrete. Protection against frost When pipes are installed in an external wall/floor/roof, then the pipes must be placed on the warmest side of the construction to avoid pipe freezing. Penetration of fire walls Penetrating fire classified building walls or floors must not weaken the building construction's fire resistance. If plastic pipes with external diameter less than 32 mm penetrates: bricked or casted building constructions with fire resistance up to class EI 90 A"-s,d0, or isolated non-loadbearing wall with fire resistance up to class EI 60 A2-s1,d0, then it must be used a sealant which is classified for the purpose. The sealant must have the same fire resistance as the construction. Penetration of fire walls shall be carried out as described in Building Research Design Sheet 520.342. Fig. 8 Main principles for water leakage protection in dry zones Special tools Special tools for installation of the system from LK Systems AB shall be used if required. Expansion forces Expansion forces shall not cause damage to the pipe in tube system, taps or building constructions it is fastened to. The pipe expansion with regard to temperature must be considered when installing the system. PEX- pipes has 0.18 mm/(m C) length expansion, i.e. 90 mm per 10 m and 50 C temperature difference. If the pipes are installed with small curves, much of the expansion will be picked up between the space of the PEX- pipe and the protection tube. Water hammer Water hammer can cause noise from the pipe in tube system due to movement (strokes) between PEX-pipes and protection tubes. This movement can be avoided if the pipes are installed with small curves with clamp spacing 0.6 meter as described in Building Research Design Sheet 553.117 and 553.185. It is also recommended to use special taps that have a water hammer reducing device closing mechanism installed. Pipe protection LK Nail Protection Plate should be installed in stud partitions where there is a risk of penetrating the pipes with nails, etc. Protection tubes can be destroyed by expansion forces and water hammers when they go through steel partitions, but this can be avoided by protecting the tubes. PEX-pipes must not be exposed to solvents, and tape can not be used on the outside of the pipes. PEX-pipes must not be exposed to sunlight (UV- radiation) for a long period of time. Pressure testing of the system The pipe in tube system shall be pressure tested in accordance with LK installation instruction NO.29.C.14.1410 before handing it over to the owner of the building. Marking of water circuits The water circuit should be marked somewhere inside the manifold cabinet with exact length and where it delivers water. A circuit form, accompanying the cabinet, should be used. Protection against Legionellosis Cold and hot water pipes should not be in contact with each other to avoid heat transmission when installed. Cold water pipes should not be laid in areas with high temperature, f. ex. in timber work with floor heating. Unused pipe circuits should be emptied of water and plugged or closed at the manifold. 7.
