F5. Mounting Turbine Enclosure To Collar (con't) To adjust for the burial depth.. ;rim {— the top of the ( — Turbine Enclosure turbine enclosure. ------------ Sand and clean all Il joint areas prior to applying adhesive. —Collar Step #1- Sand and Clean Mating Surfaces • Wipe the mating surfaces clean. • Sand bottom 3" of the turbine enclosure interior surface using supplied sandpaper • Sand outside surface of the adhesive channel on the sec- ondary containment collar. ❑ All surfaces must be sanded until they appear "white" in color. Step #2 - Position Turbine Enclosure on Collar • Use a rubber mallet, if necessary, to seal turbine enclo- sure on collar. • Confirm that surfaces inside adhesive channel are dry and clean before mixing or applying the adhesive. • As an option, you may apply tape to the exterior of the joint to minimize adhesive run on the exterior of the turbine enclosure. Step 03 -Mix and Apply the Adhesive Always wear protective goggles and AWARNING gloves when mixing and applying adhe- sive. The adhesive materials are flam- mable. Keep adhesive materials away from sparks and ignition sources • See Adhesive Applications Guidelines. ❑ Adhesive shelf life is six months. • Thoroughly mix two part adhesive in accordance with the detailed mixing instructions contained in the adhe- sive kit (Kit AD). Cl Properly mixed adhesive will turn dark red • Apply with supplied putty knife • Fill the channel from inside turbine enclosure. ❑ Can be applied either before or after backfilling around the turbine enclosure. Step 94 - Curing • Allow adhesive to cure 24 hours minimum. ❑ Mating parts must not be moved before adhesive is fully cured. • Apply supplemental heat to initiate adhesive curing pro- cess. (For outside ambient temperatures below 600F). • See Adhesive Application Guidelines. O Sand these surfaces first, place turbine HDPE Top enclosure onto collar, then apply adhesive into the adhesive channel. r Turbine Enclosure Adhesive (D,p t Turbine Adhesive Enclosure Channel Collar Colla Step #5 -Testing • See Section F7, Hydrostatic Water Test for details Adhesive Application Guidelines: AWARNING The adhesive materials and vapors are flammable. To prevent fire or explosion hazard, if a heat gun (or other ignition source) is used for supplemental heat, first evacuate flammable vapors which may accumulate in the turbine enclosure. Use the following guidelines, which are based on outside ambient temperature, to mix and apply adhesive. (Adhe- sive shelf life is six months. Check production date on box). When required for turbine enclosure adhesive: • Recommended method for supplemental heat is to trans- fer warm air to the turbine enclosure while keeping ignition sources away. Heat sources: • Salamander heater. • Radiant heater. • Heat gun (maximum output temperature 200°F) ❑Can be used for turbine enclosure adhesive if out side temperature is at least 45°F. For cold and cool weather (less than 600F): - Preheat the adhesive to 65-757. • Mix adhesive. • Add supplemental heat inside the assembled turbine en- closure to raise temperature of collar and enclosure to 60°F minimum, 150°F maximum. • Apply adhesive. • Continue to apply supplemental heat to adhesive until it hardens (30 minutes minimum). Warm Weather (between 61°F and 85°F): • Adhesive will harden in approximately 30 minutes. ONO supplemental heat required. 11 Continued to next page. l' 21
