CONTAINING FLEXUBLE CONNECrORS Containment elbows and reducers along with short pieces of piping can be combined to encase the 1-1/2" flexible connector to just below the shear valve. The Containment fittings will not seal on the body of the flexible connector. A short galvanized nipple between the end of the connector and the shear valve should be provided for sealing of the reducer. -- BONDING AND TESTING Bonding of primary system can only commence after Containment pipe has been PRIMARY SYSTEM positioned over it and all final adjustments made for clearance or interference problems. Bonding of primary lines in accordance with Ameron Bulletin 7501 can be accomplished by sliding the Containment pipe away from the primary line bonding area. Take care to not disturb the bonds on the primary piping before the C20HT adhesive cures. Primary lines must be tested before installing the Containment fittings to allow visual and/or soap testing of primary lines and fittings. MIXING OF C20HT In cold weather, warming the resin to 70°F (21°C) is required to permit good (3" & 4" Assembly) & mixing and easier application. SC -10 ADHESIVE (For 6" Assembly) To mix the adhesive, first empty all the hardener* into the can of resin. Mix all of the hardener and resin in the supplied proportions, never try to split a kit. Mix the hardener and resin thoroughly with the wooden spatula until all streaks are gone and the adhesive has a smooth uniform color. Take care to scrape and mix all resin from the lid and from under the upper lip of the can. Stirring too vigorously can either cause some hardener to splash out or result in excessive air entrapment. * The hardener contained in the adhesive kits might burn the skin. Inhaling the vapors should be avoided. The label precautions should be read and observed.
