Secondary Containment Installation Instructions SECTION 5 Termination Terminating with the Termination Fitting A. Termination Procedure (Straight) Termination Fitting(Straight) - -The termination fitting(straight) consists of two pieces: a special Termination Coupling coupling with a ring bonded to the O.D. (the"termination cou- ecial short con- snort pIin g ) and a special Containment 0 tainment coupling(see Figs. 1 Coupling and 9). The O.D.of the ring is . the same as the scarf diameter of CTermination Coupling the secondary pipe.
