Rohrdurchführungen

Rohrdurchführungen are components used to guide pipes or conduits through walls, ceilings, or floors. Their primary function is to provide a sealed and protected passage for pipes, preventing leakage, damage, and the ingress of unwanted substances. They are essential in various construction and industrial applications, including plumbing, electrical installations, and HVAC systems.

The design of a Rohrdurchführung varies depending on the specific requirements of the application. Common types include simple sleeves, sealed glands, and fire-rated penetrations. Sleeves are typically made of metal or plastic and provide a simple protective sleeve for the pipe. Sealed glands employ gaskets or O-rings to create a watertight or airtight seal, crucial for preventing moisture or gas escape. Fire-rated Rohrdurchführungen incorporate materials that can withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire and smoke through the penetration.

Materials used for Rohrdurchführungen include stainless steel, galvanized steel, cast iron, and various plastics like PVC and polyethylene. The choice of material depends on factors such as the pipe material, the environment, and the required durability and resistance to corrosion or chemical attack. Proper installation is critical to ensure the effectiveness of the Rohrdurchführung, particularly for sealed and fire-rated types. This often involves precise fitting and sealing techniques to maintain the integrity of the barrier.
