Suspended rail system
5.2.4
The Geberit Pluvia rail system was developed for the
suspended installation of horizontal pipework.
The system includes a metal rail that absorbs all the
forces generated when the pipe tries to expand.
Geberit guarantees this system to control all forces and
only dead weight fixings are required to the ceiling.
Advantages of the rail system:
•
Quick installation.
•
Fewer ceiling fastening points.
•
Controls thermal movement.
•
No expansion because of rigid installation.
•
No expansion sockets in the horizontal pipes.
•
Simple prefabrication is possible.
•
One fastening for anchor and support brackets.

Geberit Drainage Systems
If they can not meet these dimensional requirements,
additional struts will be required to provide sufficient
rigidity to resist the forces generated by the system
due to thermal expansion. The third party supplier
must provide the necessary calculations to prove their
product is fit for purpose.
