�EQW 2814 McCracken Avenue Muskegon, MI 49441 (616) 755-1671 705-GL (15 Gallon) LUxcatchTm Spill Containment Manhole INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS : PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING Before installing Flex Catch, coat all riser pipe threads with a thread sealant that is compatible with the product to be contained. Install Flex Catch by threading onto tank riser pipe until hand-tight.Caution:Do not use upper cast iron ring to fully tighten Flex Catch.Tightening the tank using the upper cast iron ring can cause undue stress to the entire unit. To finish tightening,place a pipe wrench on the round surface of the lower 4"threaded fitting and tighten. If space is limited (ie: Retrofit installation to a sawed out section of concrete) 1) Make sure that the inside riser pipe is removed. 2) Locate the fitting that the inside riser pipe threads into. 3); Coming down through the top of the unit,use a special socket wrench on the octagonal surface of that fitting to finish tightening. Do not disassemble unit. • Top edge of rim must be positioned a minimum of 2" above driveway level to provide an adequate slope for drainage. To raise Flex Catch tank height and hold in'place,use the 11-3/4"x 1-3/4"x 3/4"wood block that is shipped with �• each tank. Insert it underneath the cast lugs located inside the tank on the iron ring, and add shims between that and the adaptor for desired height. (See Figure A) • If Flex Catch needs to be lowered,then add weight to the top of the lid to hold down in place. CAUTION: These adjustments will allow only up to 1-1/2"of movement up or down for final grade adjustment. If more adjustment is needed,then a shorteror longer riserpipe must be used between the underground storage tank and the base of the Flex Catch. • Before pouring cement, place duct tape around the rim, this will keep the cement out of the drainage grooves when the lid is in place. See figure B. After cement has solidified, remove duct tape and any excess cement. Note :Drain valve assembly is 705-311-02(Replacement part). Plate assembly kit is 705-122-01 (to seal off drain). CHECK FOR LEAKS Every unit should.be tested for leaks prior to, and after pouring the concrete. If this model comes with a drain, close it. If not, install 705-120-02 test plug. Fill the unit completely with water. If the test water level drops at all within one hour, then a leak exists. Checkto see that the drain valve is seating properly. If not,then pull the drain valve several times. Replace the valve if it continues to leak. If the unit continues to leak,the entire spill container should be removed from the riser pipe and replaced with another. RE-TEST. • After the concrete has been poured, RE-TEST to make sure that no damage occurred during installation. Drawings on Back 6.1990 EBW,Inc.•7/90•Forrn 7278A
