These metallic adapters have a male pipe thread on one end and a custom male thread to accept the swivel pipe coupling. 3.2.4 Swivel Female Adapters Female pipe adapters are designed to connect one end of a flexible pipe section fitted with a swivel pipe coupling to a threaded male coupling, fitting, or threaded pipe nipple, These metallic adapters have a female pipe thread on one end and a custom male thread to accept the swivel pipe coupling. 3.2.5 Swivel Pipe Connectors These connectors are designed to connect two flexible pipe sections fitted with swivel pipe coupling, These connectors cannot be directly buried and are required to be installed inside a containment sump, When used with double wall piping, it is recommended that test boots with connector tubes be used. 3.2.6 Swivel Junction Tees These tee fittings are used in pros -sure type piping systems whereby the piping is routed in series. These tee fittings connect two flexible pipe sections fitted with swivel pipe couplings at the horizontal openings to a riser pipe at the vertical opening. When used with double wall piping, test boots with connector tubes are recommended, 3.2.7 Swivel Terminating Elbows These elbow fittings can be used In both pressure and suction type piping systems when the piping is routed in series or direct, These elbow fittings! connect one flexible pipe section fitted with a swivel pipe coupling at the horizontal opening and connect to a riser pipe at the vertical opening. When used with double wall piping, test boots with connector tubes are recommended. 3.2.8 Swivel Y Fitting This adapter is designed to accommodate two flexible piping fines exiting a tank Sump, This adapter has a 2" NPT female threaded opening at the top end and two downward facing openings which provide 1-1/2" NPT male threads, PAGE 14/90 I% 1'ORKS " DPW VZMLVAD LOHT"I"' ft VITNTUFAW 4,0 FLEXWORKS PIPE ACCESSORIES There are a variety of accessory components which may be used with OPW-ECS's flexible piping systems. 4.1 Standard Test Boots and Reducer Test Boots When OPW-FCS's double wall flexible piping is fitted with swivel couplings, you can incorporate the use of rubber test boots and small diameter plastic tubing to provide access to the interstitial space of the double wall piping. One end of the rubber test boot clamps down onto the outside of the secondary jacket and the other end of the boot is clamped onto the outside of the ferrule of the swivel pipe coupling, The test boot includes a rubber boot and two band clamps, NOTE: The test boots are not used with coax fittings & couplings, 4.2 Test Tubes These 36" long plastic tube assemblies are designed to provide access to the beginning and end of the interstitial space of double wall pipe for initial and periodic air pressure testing. There are two types of test tubes available for use. One type is used with test boots and fitted with a barbed elbow and stainless steel band damp on the lower end for insertion and damping into the test boot port. The other type, the coax test tube is used with the coax pipe adapter and fitted with a 1/4" NPT male nylon threaded fitting for connection to the threaded test port, 4.3 Connector Tubes These short plastic tube assemblies are designed to reroute the interstitial space of one double wall flexible pipe section around a metallic junction tee fitting to the next double wall flexible pipe section, They come fitted on each end with a barbed air w stem coupling elbow and stainless steel band clamp for insertion and clamping into the test boot port NOTE: The connector tubes are not used with coax fittings and couplings. 4.4 Crossover Supports These two piece supports are used to separate flexible piping runs at all crossover intersections, providing sufFlclent support to prevent the upper pipe from r' deforming the lower pipe. 5.0 INSTALLER TOOLS OPW-FCS offers a variety of Installer tools for Installing OPW-FCS's flexible piping system, NOTE: To insure proper Installation and product warranty coverage, only �-- OPW-FCS pipe coupling equipment and pipe fabricating tools must be used.
