How to connect water and sewage and leakage indication?  

Hot and cold water is connected in the floor drain junction box via PEX hose in 25 mm conduit via type-tested cabinet penetrations.The manhole penetrations are tested for empty pipes from LK-Systems, Uponor and Thermotech. The PEX hoses are connected via half couplings to external G15 threads inside the watertight junction box.  

Drains are connected to a 75 mm horizontal drain spigot on the long side of the floor drain.  

The connection of the splash pipe is done via 25 mm (outside diam.) studs for leakage indication. 

The rattle pipe connection is used either in the traditional way (approved according to existing building regulations for leakage indication, or for the installation of a wired moisture sensor in the floor drain's junction box - for the placement of leakage alarms or water safety switches in the junction box for water entering the floor drain (allowed according to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's building regulations from July 1, 2025). Read more below.  

Boverket's new statute 'Hygiene, health and environment' - contains requirements on how leakage indication for domestic water pipes is allowed to take place - and is planned to enter into force on July 1, 2025. The new leakage indication requirement moves away from the previous mandatory requirement of "visible water" in case of leakage, to be technologically neutral through the wording "Joints on water pipes shall be positioned so that leaking water can be easily detected and remedied.", which allows leakage indication in the traditional way via visible water, or via, for example, functionally safe sensor-based systems. RISE is now working on formulating requirements for functionally safe sensor-based leakage alarms and water safety switches. 

In conclusion, the Enduce floor drain enables leakage indication according to both existing and future water safety and leakage indication regulations.

More from the knowledge bank

The installation of the Enduce energy recovery floor drain leads to a significant reduction of energy consumption during the operational phase (EPD module B1).
Calcareous water does not have a problematic impact on the floor drain either on the gray water side (used shower water) or the tap water side. 
A hot water-based cleaning system heats, melts and flushes greasy deposits out of the heat recovery system's heat exchanger.
