Grooved Coupling Adapters

The.following.procedures.are.recommended.for.

proper.assembly.of.the.Grooed.Coupling.Adapter..

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

1. Inspect.the.fittings.and.pipe.to.insure.that.

they.are.sufficiently.free.from.indentations,.projections.or.roll-marks.on.the.gasket.seating.

areas.of.the.fitting.and.pipe..The.pipe.should.

be.squarely.cut.with.any.loose.scale,.paint,.

and/or.dirt.remoed.from.the.grooe..

and.seating.surface..Use a standard grade

E*, EPDM compound that is suitable for wet fire

sprinkler service. A flexible coupling shall

be used with grooved coupling adapters.

Caution: Use of rigid style couplings may

damage the grooved coupling adapter.

Consult the coupling manufacturer forproper selection.

. *See.manufacturer.for.temperature.ratings

2. Make.sure.the.gasket.is.clean.and.free.of.any.

cracks,.cuts.or.other.defects..which.may.cause.

leaks..Lubricate.the.gasket.with.a.egetable.

soap-based.gasket.lubricant..Caution: Use of

petroleum based lubricants will damage the

gasket and adapter resulting in stress failure of

the CPVC adapter. A gasket/joint lubricant isrecommended to prevent pinching the gasket

and to assist in seating the gasket during the

alignment process. Apply the appropriate

lubricant to the gasket lips and exterior surface

of the gasket.

3. Place.the.gasket.oer.the.metal.pipe.ends,.

being.sure.gasket.lip.does.not.oerhang.the.

pipe.end..Insert.the.CPvC.grooed.coupling.

adapter.into.the.gasket..Make.sure.that.the.

gasket.is.centered.between.the.two.grooes..No.portion.of.the.gasket.should.extend.into.the.

grooes..Caution: Make sure the gasket is not

pinched between the pipe and the fitting.

4. Place.the.metal.housing.oer.the.gasket,.

making.sure.the.metal.housing.key.is.into.the.

grooes.on.the.metal.pipe.and.the.CPvC.

coupling.adapter..Insert.the.bolts.and.hand..

tighten..Tighten.the.bolts.alternately.and.

equally.until.the.bolt.pads.are.touching.metal-

to-metal..In.completing.a.proper.joint,.the.

gasket.is.also.slightly.compressed,.adding.

to.the.strength.of.the.seal.from.the..
