F5. Mounting Turbine Enclosure to Collar (cont). To adjust for the ------------- burial depth, trim {— the top of the ( turbine enclosure. —Turbine Enclosure Sand and clean all joint areas prior to 1j 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 secondary 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 enclosure 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 #3 - Mix and Apply the Adhesive Always Wear Protective Goggles and AWARNING Gloves When Mixing and Applying Adhesive. The Adhesive Materials are Flammable. 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 adhesive kit. ❑ 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 #4 — 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 process. (For outside ambient temperatures below 60°F). • See Adhesive Application Guidelines. O Sand these surfaces first, place turbine HDPE Top enclosure onto collar, then apply adhesive into the adhesive channel. Turbine Enclosure A dhesive Enclosure Channel Collar Adhesive Coll 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 Bottom of the Turbine Enclosure. Use the following guidelines, which are based on outside ambient temperature, to mix and apply adhesive. (Adhesive shelf life is six months. Check production date on box). When required for turbine enclosure adhesive: • Recommended method for supplemental heat is to transfer 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 outside temperature is at least 45°F. For cold and cool weather (less than 60°F): • Preheat the adhesive to 650 - 75°F. • Mix adhesive. • Add supplemental heat inside the assembled turbine enclosure 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).
