Abrade t A , 3" B Abrade FIGURE 16-4 FIGURE 16-5 16.2.6. Wipe the abraded surfaces clean with a clean, dry cloth before applying sealant. Do not use oil-based solvents or water to clean surfaces. 16.2.7. Position the containment sump assembly on the collar to verify fit and elevation (in other words, dry fit the sump on the collar). 16.2.8. Remove the containment sump assembly and temporarily store it in a location where the abraded areas are protected from dirt, grease and other contaminants. 16.3. SEALING AND ASSEMBLY OF CONTAINMENT SUMP Read and follow all safety and application instructions for preparation and cure times. Failure to do so may cause water -seal failure and/or result in minor or moderate injury. 16.3.1. GENERAL 16.3.1.1. The sealant must be stored at a minimum of 60 degrees F and used within 6 months of receiving the material. 16.3.1.2. The sealant must be applied at a temperature above 40 degrees F. 23 16.3.1.3. Apply the sealant and test the containment sump (See SECTION 16.4.) before backfilling to grade. 16.3.1.4. Before applying the sealant, check to see that the surfaces to be sealed are dry and free of contamination or frost. 16.3.1.5. Before applying the sealant, consult the Typical Properties Table for Bostik and factor that information into the sealing process. (See TABLE 16-1.) Typical Properties Property Time Working time 70 minutes Tack -free time 90 minutes Cure time @ 77° F 1.5 - 3 days TABLE 16-1 CAUTION Each sealant step must be allowed to set sufficiently before attempting any further assembly work or testing. Do not bump or move the containment sump assembly and do not work on piping connections before the sealant has set sufficiently. Any movement of the sump body before sealant sets may cause seal failure. 16.3.1.6. Allow the sealant to set (typically four to five hours) before performing the water test to the containment sump assembly. I Do not stand on any portion of the installed cover. This may result in damage that would prevent proper sealing. 16.3.2. SEALING COLLAR TO CONTAINMENT SUMP BODY 16.3.2.1. The sealant is applied using a standard caulking gun (not supplied by Xerxes). When ready to apply the sealant, cut the tip off the end of the sealant cartridge at the 1/4 -inch mark. 16.3.2.2. The first application of the sealant is to place a row of 1/4 -inch -diameter beads around the top of the collar radius, where the incline section meets the vertical edge. (See FIGURE 16-6, A.) 16.3.2.3. The second application of the sealant is to place a row of 1/4 -inch -diameter beads around the bottom surface of the vertical edge of the collar. (See FIGURE 16-6, B.) FIGURE 16-6 16.3.2.4. Now, set the containment sump section on the collar and seat it firmly in place. (See FIGURE 16-6.)
