1. Introduction
1.1 The revolutionary HYPRO PVC-O pipes developed by
Molecor offers the benefits of the most advanced and ecofriendly technology for water transport, and are the best
choice for high pressured fluid transport. HYPRO PVC-O
pipes comply with international standard ISO 16422:2006
and are certified by SIRIM QAS International.
1.2 This guide provides general recommendations with
regards to the installation of HYPRO PVC-O pipes.
Extraordinary conditions not included in this guide should be referred to the Engineer or
field inspectors to provide on-site solutions. Nevertheless, technical advice from Molecor
would always be available. The objective here is to encourage the use of preferred and
recommended methods that lead to proper and professional installation, which
consequently ensures the maximum efficiency and service life of the pipes.
1.3 Ultimately, the Engineer who designs the pipeline will determine how it is to be
installed. It is not our intention that this guide should assume that responsibility unless the
Engineer so directs.
1.4 This guide is based on Molecors experience and on an array of published reports from
other industry resources. Users may also find additional helpful advice in technical
guidelines published by the governing water authorities in each respective jurisdiction.

3.1 Safety first. The contractor or installer bears the responsibility of ensuring that all
regulations have been complied with, and that safety procedures for the protection of
workers and the public have been adhered to.
3.2 The width of the top of the trench is determined by parameters set by the governing
water authority of the installation site and also best practice adhered to by the installer.
Take note that the trench width at the pipe zone should be kept to a practical minimum.
3.3 Although other types of applications are possible, HYPRO PVC-O pipes are particularly
recommended for underground installation. The minimum width of the trench can be
calculated using the following tables:
