Guide Specifications 61 Short Fora. 6.2 Long Form .41 M a1M 003/005 1 GENERAL INFORMATION These rubber boots are designed to seal pipe and conduit entries for underground appiications. Flexible entry boots have a composite construction of rubber and metal. A studded compression ring is molded Into a boot which provides a means of fastening the boot to the containment sump wall using a compression ring and nut fastener to Insure a waterproof seal. All entry boots are designed to provide universal flexibility for pipe or conduit providing up and down, side to side, back to front movement as well as angled pipe entries. This flexibility is important. for aligning pipe connections and providing stress relief, The standard boot design allows -for angled pipe entries up to 16 degroes off the canterlina and has no corrodible components .exposed to the soil environment. All materials used are suitable to underground burial and are chemically compatible with all fuels. 1.1 Independent Testing All Environ flexible Brilry boots are listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (ULO)The boots have been successfully tested to UZ:s standard testing procedure for petroleum transport accessories and era listed under file WHI7938 and #MH19391. These tests confirmed the compatibility of the specially formulated Buna-N Rubber compound in typical ground environments as well as exposure to petroleum and alcohol based fuels. 1.2 Positive Seal Flexible envy boots have been tested to withstand a minimum of 6' of liciuld head pressure. These seals provide a studded flange connection to create a rmifive and secure seal where the rubber contacts the sump wall. Tightening a series of stud fasteners with a compression ring provides a very high compression seal compared to screw on type bulkhead seals. OF �447 �= The exterior studded compression ring which provides the seating pressure is encapsulated within rubber to protect it from corrosion. (more than an 1118" of rubber isolates this rnetaJic studded ring from the ground environment) The inside compression ring is made from corrosion resistant steel. All studs are made of 401 stainless steer and are only exposed on the inside of the conta!nrnent sump.
