Adhesive Applications Guidelines (cont). Warm weather (between 61°F and 85°F): -Adhesive will harden in approximately 30 minutes. ❑ No supplemental heat required. Hot weather (above 85°F): • Apply adhesive more rapidly (it will harden in 15 minutes). • (Alternate) Cool the adhesive to 60°F to slow down chemical reaction. ❑ Increase allowable application time. When required for FRP coupling: • Recommended method for supplemental heat is a hand held heat gun (maximum output temperature 200°F). Important: Mix unused tubes of catalyst and any unused adhesive to form a solid for safe disposal. Then dispose as a non -hazardous waste in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.) F6. Piping Connections Secondary piping can be connected to the turbine enclosure using the field installed FRP coupling or rubber grommet. (both are available from Owens -Coming as optional fitting kits). FRP coupling • Provides water -tight seal at piping penetration for high groundwater conditions. • See section G3 for detailed installation instructions. Rubber grommet • Provides compression seal to prevent water run-off from entering turbine enclosure at piping penetration. ❑ Not recommended for high groundwater conditions. FRP Coupling Detail FRP Secondary Pipe Installed in Grommet Turbine Enclosure Exterior Taper ti FRP Secondary Containment Pipe .� Turbine 7�d Enclosure Exterior Rubber Grommet • See section G4 for detailed installation instructions. To minimize water infiltration in turbine enclosure, FRP couplings or grommets: • Can be installed anywhere on the turbine enclosure. ❑ Provided they do not interfere with adhesive channel. ❑ Must be aligned radially to turbine enclosure center. 22 F7. Hydrostatic Water Test AWARNING Failure to Properly Test and Seal Joints May Result in Product Loss, Environ- mental Damage, Explosion or Fire. • The gasket is a maintenance item which will have to be replaced periodically or when it shows a leak during a tightness test. • Test both joints of enclosure using a standing water test, described below. HDPE Lid (Non -Sealable) Model To test joint seal between the collar and turbine enclosure: • Fill turbine enclosure with water 3" above joint seal. • Record the liquid level. • Wait 24 hours. • Remeasure and record the liquid level. ❑ A liquid change more than 1/4" indicates a possible leak. To test seal of field mounted fittings: • Fill turbine enclosure with water 3" above fittings. • Record liquid level • Wait 24 hours. • Remeasure and record liquid level. ❑ A liquid change more than 1/4" indicates a possible leak. Sealable Model To test both adhesive joints and lid seal: • Attach a 2" pipe to the 2" lid fitting. ❑ Test before other pipe connections are made through the turbine enclosure. OR ❑ Block off the secondary containment pipes • Fill the enclosure until water is between 1 foot and 5 feet high in the standpipe behind the lid. • Wait 3 hours. • Record the water level in pipe. • Wait 4 hours. • Remeasure and record the water level in the pipe. ❑ A liquid level change of more than 1" indicates a possible leak. If no leak is indicated: • Remove all water. Failure to remove water may result in collar freeze rupture during winter. • Continue normal operation. If a leak is suspected: • Contact Owens -Coming Field Service Office nearest you. Phone numbers are on page 2. F8. Electrical Connections Installing electrical fittings on turbine enclosure: • All wiring connections must conform to local and national electric codes. • Connect electrical conduits to threaded steel couplings. ❑ Four fittings are provided in optional electrical fitting kit to accommodate wiring to submersible pump and optional monitoring sensor (see section G6). • Optional rubber grommets can be used to field -install the electrical fittings on the turbine enclosure (see section G4 for details). ❑ Not recommended for high groundwater conditions.
