GROOVED COUPLING ADAPTER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING
INSTALLATION
The following procedures are recommended for proper assembly of the
Grooved Coupling Adapter.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
STEP 1 Inspect the fi ttings and pipe to insure that they are suffi ciently
free from indentations, projections or roll-marks on the gasket seating
areas of the fi tting and pipe. The pipe should be squarely cut. Any loose
scale, paint and/or dirt must be removed from the groove and sealing
surfaces. Use a gasket material suitable for the intended application as
recommended by the coupling manufacturer.
STEP 2 Make sure that the gasket is clean and free of any cracks,
cuts or other defects which may cause leaks. DO NOT allow solvent
cement or primer to contact gasket sealing surface or the gasket, as leaks
may develop. A gasket/joint lubricant is recommended to prevent pinching
the gasket and to assist the seating and alignment processes. Apply a thin
layer of appropriate lubricant to the gasket lips and exterior surface of the
gasket. Caution: Certain lubricants can contain a petroleum base or other
chemicals which may cause damage to the gasket and adapter. It is the
installers responsibility to verify suitability for use of the selected lubricant
with the manufacturer.
