Advantages of Multi-Utility Installations

Multi-utility installations offer a significant advantage over single-utility setups by allowing multiple types of utility lines to be routed outdoors through a specialized system. In contrast, single-utility systems are limited to accommodating only one type of line. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for retrofitting existing buildings, making it easier to integrate new services as needed. Furthermore, the underground installation method enhances the protection of utility lines from potential damage and unauthorized access. By utilizing dedicated pipe penetrations, these systems ensure that utilities are securely buried, reducing the risk of external factors compromising their integrity.

Hauff-Technik Building Packages – Complete Sets for Multi-Utility Installations

Hauff-Technik offers a variety of building packages designed for multi-utility installations, specifically tailored for integration during the construction phase. The ETGAR building package is intended for homes without basements, allowing the system to be directly embedded into the building's foundation slab.

The core component of this system is the base unit, which is cast into the foundation within the house. This base unit features outlets for the various utility lines, which are introduced through a sealing plug. These plugs accommodate different types of utility lines, enabling the introduction of electrical and telecommunications cables with diameters ranging from 5 to 40 mm

Sealing is achieved through the sealing plug, which first secures the base unit and then seals each utility line directly at the entry point. This ensures that the entire system is gas and water-tight from the inside of the house, preventing any radon from the ground from infiltrating the interior.

The base unit connects to PE corrugated pipes, each equipped with four 75 mm diameter outlets. These pipes are not only gas and water-tight up to 0.5 bar, but they are also resistant to rot and UV exposure. The PE corrugated pipes can extend up to 30 meters in length, and with the ETGAR extension set, they can be further elongated. This modular design allows for customizable lengths of supply lines leading into the exterior.

With four multi-utility lines, it becomes possible to reach various points on the property, whether it be the garden behind the house, the area in front, or any other designated location. At the desired endpoint, the 2LINE G-BOX from the ETGAR series is installed in the ground, connecting the underground corrugated pipes to deliver the utility lines precisely where they are needed. Additionally, these corrugated pipes can also serve as empty conduits, enabling future installations of power or network cables to the exterior without requiring extensive construction or earthworks. This flexibility not only simplifies the installation process but also enhances the overall functionality of the utility system in your home.

Expanding Multi-Utility Installations

Hauff-Technik provides expansion sets for its multi-utility system, enabling homeowners to establish additional connection points throughout their gardens. These sets include extra 2-LINE G-BOXes and PE corrugated pipes, which allow for the creation of more distribution and endpoint connections on your property without the need to install new electrical cables from the house. The 2-LINE G-BOXes serve as distribution centers, delivering power to specific locations with minimal effort.

As modern technology evolves, new application scenarios continue to emerge. This includes the installation of heat pumps and the integration of charging stations for smart lawn mowers. Setting up a Wi-Fi antenna on the terrace is also made simple. By planning for a multi-utility installation during the construction phase, homeowners can seamlessly implement such projects later, all at very reasonable costs.
