Use protective pads such as split sections of the same size fiberglass pipe or a sheet of 1(e" (3 mm) thick rubber to protect the pipe from clamp or chain damage. • Power or hand tapering tool. • Felt tip marking pen • Pipe cutting equipment: Chop saw, Fine-tooth (32 teeth per inch) hack saw Circular saw with abrasive cutting blade (carbide grit or grit or masonry blade) Sabre saw with a fine-tooth metal or carbide grit blade Jigsaw with carbide grit abrasive blade • Wrap around (for marking pipe) T.A.B. or strap wrenches (see page 8) Shop hammer. 3-6 lbs. (4-9 kg.) and a 2x4 block of wood • Adjustable pipe stands • Power drive adapter (optional) • Electric heating collars • Clean rags • Appropriate tapering tools Equipment for Cold Weather Pipe Assembly: • Heat source for prewarming: - Electric heating collar, - Portable electric heat lamp, or - Hot air blower • A means of maintaining adhesive kits at 70°-80'F (21 •- 27°C). A box with a 25 watt light bulb or keep the adhesive in a heated truck cab or building. • Heat assisted curing source - Retract protective mesh covering on 2" pipe prior to use of heating collars. - Electric Heating Collars - When using electric heating collars, assure an adequate power source is available and the extension cords are property sized. Wattage requirements and extension corn lenghts are shown in Tables 3 and 4. Table 3. Wattage Requirements for Electric Heating Collars Table 4.

Cutting operations for fiberglass pipe can generate dust or cutting chips that are irritating to the skin, upper respiratory tract, and eyes. Because these materials are irritating, proper ventilation for the installation crew should be used to prevent exposure. A nuisance dust breathing filter should be used when working in areas where dust will be present. Operators should wear heavy cotton clothing, including long -sleeve shirts, that protect the skin from dust. Eye protection is required when operating tools •r — _ SOW line z) Tt th Per In h bladr 1 &AAP �j V Chop Saw Tapering Always retract the protective mesh covering on 2" pipe approximately 12" from the end before tapering.
