Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pipe connector.
- the present invention more particularly relates to a pipe connector to connect two pipes together during construction to ensure a seal is formed between the pipes.
- a MEP system comprises at least one of a mechanical system, electrical system or plumbing system.
- a modular MEP system is formed from a plurality of modular MEP systems that are connected together.
- a MEP system is a riser system with the MEP system modules being stacked vertically on top of one another.
- Modular MEP systems may also be formed from a plurality of MEP system modules that are connected together horizontally. By connecting MEP systems horizontally, services can be supplied horizontally across a storey of a building.
- MEP systems are usually manufactured in standard sizes to accommodate different service provisions. However, some MEP systems are sized according to a specification and are therefore not a standard size. Benefits of modular MEP systems over conventional systems include, but are not limited to, reducing installation time, simplifying the design process, reducing long-term performance risks, reducing material wastage, improving site health and safety, and reducing build programme time.
- a MEP system module is typically pre-installed with a plurality of services into a structural frame representing one storey (circa 3m) of a building.
- the MEP system module typically houses a plurality of modular components, including for example ductwork, pipes, conduits, and cables to provide the services.
- the MEP system modules are then stacked during construction of the building and the services are connected to create a complete service unit that can supply the services to each storey of the building.
- the MEP system modules are usually fabricated off-site and then tested, delivered, and erected within a building riser shaft.
- modular MEP systems are designed to work and perform over the lifetime of the building.
- each MEP system module must be installed very carefully to ensure that the services are continuous along the complete service unit. Problems can occur if there is thermal movement that results in strains on the service pipes.
- Seismic activity and building creep are two further elements to consider when installing a conventional modular MEP system. It is critical to correct for thermal expansion and contraction of each component within the MEP system modules to guarantee that the components stay linked. It is also crucial to consider the pressure of the fluid within the pipes, as well as fluctuations in pressure throughout the modular MEP system, which may cause the fluid pipes to shift and become separated. Accommodating for these factors typically increases the complexity of the installation process for a conventional modular MEP system.
- a secondary task when installing a conventional modular MEP system, once one MEP system module is aligned with an adjacent MEP system module, a secondary task must be performed manually to connect the service pipes of the two MEP system modules to one another with high precision. For example, a secondary task must be performed by a skilled technician to screw connectors on pipes in two MEP system modules together. Secondary tasks of this kind are time consuming and further increase the complexity of the installation process.
- the present invention provides a pipe connector for connecting a first pipe to a second pipe as claimed in claim 1 and a modular MEP system as claimed in claim 15.
- the present invention also provides preferred embodiments as claimed in the dependent claims.
- Some examples of this disclosure ensure that no mechanical fixings are required between the pipes of each MEP system module, removing the need for costly site labour by providing an easier and quicker installation process.
- some examples of the disclosure provide a tolerance between pipes, such that the pipes can be connected to each other even if the pipes are not located in their exact position.
- Some examples of this disclosure remove the need for a manual secondary task to be performed during the installation process. Removing the need for a manual secondary task increases the speed in which MEP systems can be installed and reduces the reliance on skilled labour on site.
- Modular MEP systems of some examples of this disclosure have a reduced environmental impact compared to conventional construction systems. This is achieved by modular MEP systems of some examples of this disclosure reducing the amount of disruption, noise, waste and construction labour compared with conventional systems.

- the tolerance allows the first connector 1110, 1210 to be connected to the second connector 1120, 1220 even if pipes that are coupled to the first and second connectors 1110, 1210, 1120, 1220 are displaced relative to one another, for instance as a result of seismic activity or the pipes expanding or contracting due to fluctuations in temperature.
