1.4 Chemical Compatibility All seals are made of specially formulated Buna-N Rubber compound which has been independently tested to insure its compatibility with a wide assortment of chemicals measuring its swell features under exposure as well as degradation characteristics. These tests included measuring the material's retention of properties as well as the physical characteristics of the seal after exposure. WARNING: Keep all fiberglass cleaning solvents away from boots. These types of solvents could cause severe damage. 1.5 Angled Entries Flexible entry boots are flexible enough to permit angled pipe or conduit entries (on two axis) into the sidewall of a containment chamber. This seal is also capable of multi -directional pipe alignment either up and down or side to side. This vital feature also allows accommodation of pipe entry holes which are installed slightly off exact alignment in the chamber wall. This movement will prevent the chamber wall from putting undue stress on the pipe coupiing;fitting joint and the entry boot as well. For flexible piping applications within dispenser sumps, the stresses on pipe fittings below the product dispenser's inlets are minimized by the boot's alignment flexibility. Pipe and conduit entering the containment chambers may not be perpendicular with the wall of the chamber. Angled entries are generally a result of directional plumbing restrictions on the inside of the containment chamber due to space limitations. All flexible entry boots permit angled entries up to a 15 degree angle off the center line in any direction without breaking a seal or putting undue stress on the pipe conduit or entry seal. WARNING: Angles greater than 15 degrees off center could possibly cause the rubber boot to tear due to prolonged stress. 2. ENTRY BOOT APPLICATIONS There are a number of different sizes and types of flexible entry boots designed to meet all GeoFlex` system applications. The following types of flexible entry boots and seals available are described as follows: 2.1 Conduit Entries There are four sizes of conduit entry boots made to accommodate 1/2", 3/4", 1", conduit. These entry boots may be installed in either the sidewall of a dispenser sump or in the bottom of a dispenser pan. 13 2 Part No. Size Application FEB -3050 1/2" Standard use FEB -3075 (4.25" O.D.) 3/4" Standard use I FEB -3075A (3" O.D.) 3/4" Congested areas FEB -3100 1" l Standard use 2.2 Pipe Entries There are eight sizes of pipe entry boots to accommodate various types of piping. These entry boots may be installed in either the sidewall of a dispenser sump or in the bottom of a dispenser pan. Part No. Size Application FEB -3150 1-1/2" Flex and Rigid Pipe FEB -5150 1-1/2" Flex and Rigid Pipe FEB -6150 1-1/2" Pex and Rigid Pipe FEB -6200 2" ' Fiex and Rigid Pipe FEB -6300 3" j Flex and Rigid Pipe FEB -7390 3.9" I Rigid Pace & Containment & Flex FEB -7400 4" Rigid Pipe FEB -8600 6" Rigic Pipe 2.3 Duct Entry Boots There are two sizes of duct entry boots to accommodate both flexible and rigid ducting. Ducting pipe is typically used when removability of the flexible pipe is desired after installation. These entry boots may be installed only in the sidewall of a dispenser sump. These boots typically require the use of split reducer donuts to seal the boot when reducing down from ducting to the primary piping. Part No. Size Application FEB -6350 3" Standard use FEB -7450 4" Standard use 3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS For proper and warranted installation of flexible entry boots, these instructions must be followed. Prior to installing the rubber entry boots, make sure the exact location has been properly calculated. sump access boots may be used to permanently seal any miscalculations.
