0 <br />Cutting Pipe To Length <br />When cutting the GeoFlex Piping Into pipe <br />sections, cut the pipe at the measured cut mark <br />using the Pipe Cutter tool. This cutting tool is <br />designed specifically to cut the flexible piping to <br />length. Make sure the cuts are clean and even <br />before installing the couplings. <br />(2) G) <br />Coupling Machines <br />The GeoFlex Piping System requires the use of <br />the Environ Coupling Machine for proper <br />installation of the Pipe Coupling. Coupling <br />Machines are available In both 110 and 220 volt <br />models. Consult your local Environ Distributor for <br />the availability for rental or purchase of these <br />Coupling Machines. <br />The following three step installation procedure for <br />coupling the flexible pipe is only a general <br />installation guide. Detailed coupling procedures <br />and machine operating and maintenance <br />instructions are contained within the Coupling <br />Machine Product Manual. <br />b�2'aaegar <br />b,;mmam <br />Step #1 <br />Unscrew and remove the "tapered swedge' from <br />the threaded drive shaft of the coupling machine. <br />Insert the Pipe Coupling Assembly over the "drive <br />shalt" and push against the 1-1/2" adapter, as <br />illustrated. <br />Stripping Containment Jacket <br />In order to install the Pipe Coupling to the <br />end of the GeoFlex Pipe section it <br />is necessary to strip off a 2' (50mm) <br />section of the outer stand-off <br />containment Jacket. Using the Jacket <br />Cutter tool, open the cutter and insert the <br />flexible pipe until the end meets the "stop <br />lip' at the middle of the cutter. Close the <br />cutter and turn counter -clockwise one <br />complete revolution. This procedure will <br />make a radial cul on the Jacket. Open <br />the Jacket Cutter and remove the pipe. <br />Reinsert It into the opposite end of the <br />cutler, close and pull the cutter off the <br />and of the pipe. This procedure will <br />make the longitudinal cut on the Jacket. <br />Next remove the 2" (50mm) Jacket <br />section. <br />C64,11001exible Pipe <br />19�6s <br />Step #2 <br />Thread the "tapered swedge" onto the drive shaft <br />until it meets the back of the Pipe Coupling <br />Assembly. Lubricate the outside of the swedge <br />using metal lubricating oil. Do not use silicone <br />based lubricants. Be sure that the swivel nut is <br />flush against the 1-1/2" adapter. <br />Important <br />Use only Environ coupling equipment <br />and couplings to couple the ends of the <br />GeoFlex Piping. <br />Caution <br />Make sure the "Vent Screw" is open <br />before operating coupling machine to <br />avoid damaging the pump. Close the <br />"Vent Screw" prior to transporting the <br />machine. <br />so <br />'71 <br />n...N <br />PIN - <br />Step #3 <br />Insert end of the flexible pipe section inside the <br />Pipe Coupling until only 1/18'-1/8' of the primary <br />Pipe is exposed. Be sure that the ferrule is fully <br />engaged on the Pipe Coupling insert. To operate <br />the machine, press the start button and hold until <br />the tapered swedge has passed through the Pipe <br />Coupling Assembly. Reinsert the thread <br />protector into the Pipe Coupling. <br />N <br />
