13.5.4 Linear Cutting Raise and turn the handle 90 degrees so the handle will be parallel with the jacket cutter body. Pull the jacket cutter off the end of the pipe to make the linear cut on the secondary jacket. 13.5.5 Jacket Removal Look closely for the linear cut down the pipe, and peel the secondary jacket away at that point from the primary inner pipe. NOTE: To avoid damage to the pipe, do not use tools other than an OPW-FCS jacket cutter to strip the secondary jacket. Inspect outer surface of primary pipe after jacket removal. For complete instructions, please refer to the jacket cutter installation instructions. 13.6 Coupling Flexible Pipe Sections The flexible piping system requires the use of the Flex Coupling Machine for proper installation of the pipe couplings onto the flexible piping sections. Both coax couplings & fittings and metallic couplings and fittings may be coupled with the Flex coupling machine providing the correct face plates and swage is used. IMPORTANT. Using the coupling machine with piping and/or couplings not manufactured by OPW-FCS shall void the coupling machine warranty. Before and after the coupling process the supplied dust cover should be kept on the coupling. This precaution will lessen the possibility of damage. For complete instructions, please refer to the Flex coupling machine installation instructions. 13.6.1 Machine Set-up • Remove cover and install under the base. • Install the correct face plate. • Install the correct threaded shaft. • Install the correct size swage kit. • Open the vent plug. • Plug in machine with extension cord. IMPORTANT. Connect the coupling machine to a properly grounded outlet only. Piping must be held vertically throughout the coupling process. WARNING: OPW-FCS's coupling machine is not intrinsically safe and can not be used in hazardous areas. 13.6.2 Positioning Swivel Pipe Coupling Install the appropriate size faceplate, unscrew and remove 12 Fle-AW Q R KS NY OPIN FURLING CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS the tapered swage from the threaded shaft. Lubricate the inside of the coupling insert with metal assembly paste or white lithium grease. Insert the pipe coupling assembly, including the ferrule over the threaded shaft and seat it onto the face plate. Note: Do not place ferrule on the piping. Ferrule must be inserted over the insert of the coupling. 13.6.3 Installing The Tapered Swage Thread the tapered swage onto the threaded shaft until it meets the back of the pipe coupling assembly. NOTE: Do not use silicone based lubricants. Be sure that the swivel nut of the pipe coupling assembly is flush against the face plate. 13.6.4 Inserting the Pipe Insert the end of a flexible pipe section inside the pipe coupling until it bottoms out. Inspect the entire assembly, prior to switching on the machine for the following: • Swivel nuts are flush against the base plate. • The coupling and pipe are totally vertical. • The ferrule is snug against the insert shoulder. 13.6.5 Swaging To begin the swaging process, turn the switch to the DOWN position. Once the tapered swage passes through the pipe coupling assembly, the motor will turn off. Remove the coupled pipe section. Turn the switch to the UP position to allow the drive shaft to return to the starting position. 13.6.6 Inspection Inspect the installed pipe coupling assembly inside and out to make sure there was no damage to the insert, ferrule or swivel nut during the swaging operation. IMPORTANT: Using this coupling machine with pipe or couplings other than those manufactured by OPW Fueling Containment Systems, shall void the product warranty. Note: Some flexible entry boots require at least partial installation onto the pipe before coupling. When using swivel couplings in direct bury applications, the studded portion of a DEB -6150 and DEB -6200 must be installed onto the pipe prior to coupling the pipe. All direct bury coax couplings require the entry boot or reducer donut to be installed prior to coupling the pipe.
