Inspection, handling Inspection <br /> and storage Upon receipt at the jobsite, and before starting installation,fully inspect the <br /> . pipe for damage. Locate, cut out, repair or replace damaged pipe. Impact <br /> damage is usually recognizable as rounded pale areas just under the surface, <br /> or as deep gouges, scratches or cracks. Remove end protectors to inspect the <br /> taper for damage and then replace protectors. <br /> Handling and storage <br /> Fiberglass pipe is susceptible to damage if not handled correctly. <br /> • Do not transport the pipe without proper protection against impact damage. <br /> • Do not use chains to tie down the pipe on a truck: Use nylon straps or <br /> hemp rope. <br /> • Do not drop the pipe from a truck bed when stringing: Lay the pipe down <br /> by hand. <br /> • All storage and truck pipe racks should be padded(e.g.carpeting, inner <br /> tubes,etc.)to prevent damage to the pipe wall. <br /> • Tie the pipe down during transport to prevent it from bouncing on the racks <br /> and suffering impact damage. <br /> • Pipe loads that are properly separated and supported can be unloaded by <br /> padded forklifts. <br /> Materials requirements Pipe <br /> Pipe furnished from the manufacturer is tallied on the basis of overall length. <br /> Some additional lengths should be ordered to offset cutting losses and <br /> contingencies. <br /> Adhesive <br /> Calculate the number of adhesive bonds required. Refer to the line layout or <br /> blueprint supplied. Include bonds for all fittings, elbows,tees, reducers, <br /> adapters, and collars.A waste factor should be added to determine the total <br /> number of kits to be ordered.The following table shows the average number of <br /> bonds at 75°F.The shorter pot life at higher temperatures may not allow this <br /> many bonds to be made.At higher temperatures, allow for a greater waste <br /> factor. For further information refer to C20HT Adhesive Kit Product Data, FP135. <br /> Tapering equipment, heating blankets, and Chem Cure Paks® (U.S. Patent <br /> No.3,475,239)are available from Ameron. <br /> Bonds per Kit' <br /> Nominal Adhesive Kit Size <br /> Pipe Size (oz) <br /> (in) (mm) 1 6.8 10 <br /> 2 50 2 14 <br /> 3 80 1 9 14 <br /> 4 100 1 7 9 <br /> 6 150 — 3 4 <br /> 'Based on quantity requiredby experienced crew at 75'F(24OC). <br /> Use smallerkit when joining2-inch pipe to avoid wastage. <br /> 3 <br />
