An alternate method of pipe end preparation is sanding with 40-60 grit sandpaper to remove all surface gloss. Belt sanders or a coarse cut flat file may be used. The sanded length must be a minimum of 33/4". Pipe Assembly The containment pipe must be positioned over the product pipe prior to bonding of the product pipe. After testing of the product pipe, the containment fittings should be installed and the containment system tested. Typically, the length of the containment system is determined from: L = (CAL of Product Piping) – (B) NOTE: When terminating with a concentric reducer, use the C dimension instead of the B dimension in the table below. (See Figure 2) 7 L Product L OAL Pipe Containment Pipe Example: If 2" product pipe is 20 ft., 6 in. long, cut containment pipe 20 ft., 3 in. long. It is helpful to lay out We system, cut, taper and dry fit all product lines. Where possible, place containment fitting halves under the product fittings. (See Figure 3) Q Lay out system with all dry joints. Figure 3 C. Fittings Assembly All containment fittings consist of two halves with flanged tabs as shown in Figure 3. Fittings are assembled with 1/4" — 20 NC hex head bolts along with Smith Fiberglass Products adhesive. (NOTE: Fittings are supplied by Smith Fiberglass Products without hardware.) The fitting bonding surfaces are pre -sanded in the factory. Two-piece secondary containment fittings must be bonded with a greater amount of adhesive than is normally used with the bell and spigot joints of product piping. (See Figure 4) Adhesive — Apply to both halves and to pipe 1116" minimum thickness. ® Figure 2 TABLE I Product I 2 1 Pipe Size B C 2" 3" 6" 3" 31/2" 61/2" 4" 31/2" 71/2" Example: If 2" product pipe is 20 ft., 6 in. long, cut containment pipe 20 ft., 3 in. long.

Thoroughly mix all of the adhesive base with all of the adhe- sive hardener. Do not attempt to split a kit. The adhesive should have a uniform consistency and flow smoothly off the mixing stick. Filler must be added to thicken the adhesive. The filler is packaged in premeasured quantities for use with DS -7014 or DS -7069 adhesive kits and is available from your local Smith Fiberglass Products distributor. Filler should be added in three steps, thoroughly mixing between additions. All of the filler in the bag should be used. NOTE: Adhesive and hardener must be thoroughly mixed before adding the filler.
