Details
The rubber boot type connector is a common method of connecting both concrete and other pipe materials to maintenance holes, providing both a flexible and watertight connection. The boot connector ranges in sizes to suit the pipe outside diameter and also the maintenance hole diameter that the pipe is to be installed into.
Contact the MCON engineering department for further details on this connector or other connecting systems that are available.
PIPE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
- Clean pipe and boot to ensure no dirt or foreign materials are present.
- Clamping surface on pipe must be clean and smooth.
- Center pipe in opening and insert pipe until it breaks the inside plane of maintenance hole or, if maintenance hole is benched, to the invert ledge of benching.
- Attach take-up clamp(s) and stagger screw(s) of clamps around the groove of the gasket so that take-up pressure will be equalized. Make sure each clamps is completely in the correct groove.
- Using a torque ratchet or torque wrench, gradually tighten screw(s) of clamp(s) in an alternating pattern to 12 ft-lbs (for 8”-14” holes), 20 ft-lbs (for 16”-20” holes), or 60 ft-lbs (for 22” holes and larger).
- After reaching the recommended torque from Note 5 on the final screw, check all screws again to ensure compression of the clamps.
- Adjust pipe to line and grade.
