Polypropylene threaded extensions: a versatile product from our tech HIDRAULICO®️ system
BUCCHI s.r.l. is pleased to present to you a pipe extension system with G1 ISO 71 threaded male ends, the result of years of experience that offers numerous advantages over traditional galvanised steel or PVC systems, belonging to the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system. The tech HIDRAULICO®️ system undergoes stringent quality controls at all stages of the production process, from incoming materials to finished products. Our laboratories are equipped with modern equipment and highly qualified personnel, guaranteeing a consistently high degree of quality. The material of the threaded extensions of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system is polypropylene PP, a strong, light and inert plastic material. Polypropylene has excellent mechanical and thermal properties, and is immune to corrosion, scaling, pressure drops and electrochemical phenomena. In addition, polypropylene is suitable for food contact and absolutely non-toxic, and the diverse range of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system allows for easy assembly as required. The colour of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system hoses is brown similar to RAL 8002, which harmonises with the environments in which they are installed and ensures an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The threaded joint makes it easy to assemble our product, and the lightweight and easy handling of the hoses allows for quick and cost-saving installations. The durability of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system, based on the temperature-dependent pressure variation for water or fluids, is a feature that adds value to this product. The guaranteed operating conditions over 50 years are 20°-10 bar. The threaded extensions of the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system comply with the conical GAS connection standards according to DIN 2999-ISO 7/1 and are certified according to the current RINA regulations for plastic pipes in the nautical environment. In order to achieve maximum performance, it is important to follow certain warnings and guidelines for installation, especially when it comes to outdoor installations. Outdoor installations are subject to thermal expansion, which can cause the pipes to warp and deform if proper precautions are not taken. For this reason, fixed points and sliding points are necessary to control and limit the movement of the pipes. Fixed points are supports that lock the pipe in a certain position, preventing it from sliding. Fixed points should be positioned at a pipe junction with a sleeve or fitting, and are useful for protecting delicate sections of line and equipment. Rigid brackets or anchors are recommended at changes of direction, reductions, and near valves, taps, meters, etc. Sliding points are supports that allow the pipe to slide freely in a longitudinal direction, following length variations. Sliding points are positioned at a free pipe section, either vertically or horizontally, and serve to align the system. The clamping intervals for sliding points depend on the operating conditions, the average wall temperature of the pipe, the density of the transported liquid, and the diameter and thickness of the pipe.For fixed and sliding points, rubber-coated metal brackets or collars are used, firmly anchored to the masonry, which wrap around the pipe. To ensure a good seal, we recommend using loctite 55 multi-fibre nylon sealant, which can be found in our catalogue under code 0800922. By following these simple instructions, you will be able to install the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system safely and effectively, and enjoy its benefits for many years. If you would like to know more about threaded extensions or the tech HIDRAULICO®️ system, our experts will be able to provide you with the technical information you require. For further information or assistance, please call 0545/901001 or write to info@bucchi.it

Nautical fittings: changes due to the new ISO 9093-2020 standard
Nautical fittings: changes due to the new ISO 9093-2020 standard
In operation since December 2020, the new ISO 9093 standard dedicated to nautical fittings presents different and essential updates compared to the previous ISO 9090 standard.The standard specifies the requirements for through-hull fittings, hull valves, connections for hoses, their fittings and their installation in small units having a hull of up to 24m in length. All parts and components of small vessels (from embarkation lines and water discharge, to drainage water outlets) must respond to specific requirements, in respect of the characteristics of the materials, resistance, test and use of same. Specifically: Material RequirementsThe materials used for the fittings (valves, through-hulls, hose adaptor and fittings used below the waterline) must be resistant to corrosion regardless of the fluid conveyed. Combination of materialsMetal materials, which combined (for example when using metal clamps) can lead to galvanic corrosion, must be isolated. The use of non-metallic materials must bear in mind correct seizure. Resistance to mechanical stressNon-metallic valves, through-hulls and hose connectors must meet the prescribed strength test. Operating temperaturesThe operating temperature range is defined from 0 ° C to 60 ° C. The standard moves exactly in the direction brought forward by BUCCHI S.r.l, in the successful choice of using technopolymer products for the nautical sector, more advantageous and efficient than traditional metal fittings: all BUCCHI products for use on pleasure boats with a length of less than 24 meters are subject to the inspection provided for in ISO 9093 and are certified BUREAU VERITAS and respond effectively to the resistance tests and to the range of operating temperatures required by the standard.

Polymers VS Metals in the nautical sector – The winning choice by BUCCHI
Polymers VS Metals in the nautical sector – The winning choice by BUCCHI
Applications intended for the nautical sector are among those subject to the most intense mechanical, thermal and environmental stress: in addition to stress deriving from the use itself, the effects of water, weathering and solar radiation also need to be considered.The nautical sector is also among those that are heading towards greater innovation: the plumbing systems of boats are increasingly sophisticated and the electrical systems and electronic systems are technologically more advanced and delicate.For this reason, the choice of accessories for the nautical sector must be careful, and based on a good knowledge of products and materials. BUCCHI is among the pioneers in Europe as regards the introduction of techno-polymer products for the nautical sector.The advantages of these raw materials, compared to bronze and brass, traditionally used in the nautical sector, are multiple: absence of oxidation, electrical insulation without galvanic corrosion, reduced condensation, high elasticity, low weight, greater versatility, high tensile resistance, maximum lightness and excellent resistance to high temperatures. Traditional metallic materials can cause serious damage to boats, from corrosion of the pipes to blockage of handles and valves, with consequent (and costly) repair work. The winning choice is the purchase of techno-polymer products, which guarantee excellent results and high levels of performance, for any application in conditioning and cooling systems or water distribution.BUCCHI products and accessories are also constantly checked and controlled, and the production process is internal to the company, with constant study and continuous development.
