OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOINING GASKETED PIPE
USING V-SHAPED SADDLES:
1. Attach the stationery saddle on one side of the pipe.
2. Position the adjustable saddle approximately 15" (380 mm) from the end of the pipe.
Attach the pipe with chain and tighten screw assembly.
3. Adjust ratchet pawls so both arrows point the same direction as each other and also the same direction of the draw.
4. Draw one pipe end into the other pipe using the ratcheting device.
5. Make sure the pipe is fully seated into the other pipe, then remove the tool.
NOTE: The PPJ can also be used to separate gasketed pipe. To separate gasketed pipe, follow step 1 and 2, then make
sure the ratchet pawl arrows are pointed outward toward the direction of separation. Use the ratcheting device to separate
the pipe.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOINING GASKETED PIPE TO A FITTING:
1. Attach the stationery saddle on one side of the pipe.
2. Position the adjustable saddle approximately 15"
(380 mm) from the end of the pipe.
Attach the pipe with chain and tighten screw
assembly.
3. Loosen the clamp screws in the adjustable
bracket and raise the saddle to the top of its
travel. Snug up the 3/8" bolts just enough
to hold the saddle in the up position.
4. Using the ratchet handle, move the adjustable
saddle back on the pipe far enough to permit the
fitting to be put on. Slip the fitting (without the gasket) on the end of the pipe.
5. Loosen the clamp screws and lower the saddle to the fitting. Tighten the clamp screws, making sure the joiner
channel is parallel to the pipe.
6. Tighten the clamp chain firmly around the fitting. Push the fitting out of the pipe so that gasket lubricant may be
applied. Reverse the ratchet pawl and join together the distance specified by pipe fitting manufacturer.
NOTE: When assembling line pipe, set the adjustable saddle mount to the index marks.
IMPORTANT: Keep PVC straight for the joining
process.
REED PPJ keeps the pipes straight when install-
ing PVC pipe with an interior gasket, which is
located in the bell (end of pipe with the larger
diameter). The spigot end of the pipe is inserted
into the bell. During this process it is vital to keep
both pipes aligned as the spigot is sliding into the bell. If the 2 pipes being joined are not held in alignment, the spigot can hit
the gasket and cause damage which will result in leaks. If the 2 pipes are not properly aligned, the spigot end can dislodge
the gasket and cause gasket failure.
