Creating Single-Line Entries on Your Property

Single-line entries refer to utility lines that run from your house to various locations throughout your property. The demand for such entries is rising, particularly in new construction projects. It is crucial to plan for single-line installations early on to ensure that utility connections for water, electricity, gas, and telecommunications are easily accessible. Properly designed single-line entries not only facilitate efficient utility management but also enhance the overall functionality and accessibility of your property.

Single-line Entries: Applications and Benefits

Single-line entries are vital for various applications, especially when multiple utility lines are required on your property. During the planning of new construction, many homeowners neglect to consider outdoor spaces, often postponing these decisions until after the project is completed. This oversight can lead to complications, as retrofitting wall entries can be both expensive and challenging. It’s highly recommended to incorporate the planning and installation of single-line entries during the construction phase to make the process more economical and provide greater flexibility for future landscaping and utility needs.

Common applications for single-line entries include outdoor lighting solutions, such as those for driveways, garden paths, or pool areas, all of which necessitate a reliable electrical supply. By planning these entries in advance, homeowners can simplify and reduce costs for future installations of garden lighting. Additionally, with the increasing demand for outdoor electrical connections—especially due to the rise of electromobility—having a designated entry allows for easier installation of charging stations, whether on an exterior wall or in a garage.

Furthermore, a robust electrical connection is crucial, and having a pre-installed single-line entry facilitates upgrades in the future. This allows homeowners to quickly and easily add electrical systems as needed. Telecommunications cables are another essential utility that can be routed outside the home. This enables the setup of network connections in locations like garages or outdoor spaces, such as patios. Lastly, single-line entries can also be used to create convenient outdoor water connections, enhancing the usability of your property.

Solutions for Bulding Services Outlets from Hauff-Technik

Hauff-Technik presents the ETGAR builder package, a comprehensive solution designed for integration during the construction phase. This package includes all necessary components for establishing a flexible and multifunctional system for wall entries through the floor slab in buildings without basements.

At the heart of this package is the base unit, which is typically embedded directly in the house connection room, often located near the planned electrical panel. The base unit features four connections for corrugated composite pipes, which function as underground cable conduits leading outside the house.

The composite pipes, sized DN 75, come equipped with a pull-in aid for easier installation. These pipes can be directed in various orientations beneath the floor slab, allowing for flexible routing. Cable sealing is accomplished through a sealing insert in the base unit, combined with individual sealing plugs. These plugs are available for electrical, water, and telecommunications lines in various sizes, ensuring effective sealing regardless of the number, type, or diameter of the utility lines. Since each line is seated individually within its own sealing plug, subsequent installations are straightforward, eliminating the need for resealing the core bore. The completed system, along with the utility lines, is also completely gas and watertight, providing homeowners with reliable protection against any potential leaks.
