Flexible Entry Boots Patents Pending Pipe & Conduit Entry Boots All pipe and conduit entries into the sump wall are made by using the water -tight Flexible Entry Boot. Each size boot consists of a flexible rubber boot which encapsulates a studded flange, a compression ring, fasteners and band clamp. Flexible Entry Boots are available in the following sizes: 1/2", 3/4", 1', and 1-1/4' conduit sizes; 2". 3*, 3.9" and 4" pipe sizes. The following installation procedures should be followed for installation of all Flexible Entry Boot sizes. Step #1 Locate the center entry point in the sump wall and drill a 5/16" hole. Fasten the Entry Boot Templet securely to the wall with a fastener, as shown. Drill out the desired bolt pattern using a 5/16* drill bit. Step #4 Using a standard hand nut driver tighten all of the nuts evenly and firmly. To prevent deforming boots do not over tighten nuts. If a torque wrench is used, the setting should be 60 in. lbs. Step #2 Remove Entry Boot Templet from the sump wall and then drill a hole using the correct size hole saw. 2-1/4"Saw: 1/2". 3/4". V & 1-1/4' 4-1/4" Saw: 2" & 3" 5-1/4"Saw: 3.9" & 4" ®1 IN I Step #5 Insert the appropriate sized pipe or conduit into the flexible boot from outside of the sump. After the pipe or conduit has been positioned, install the band clamp around the boot and tighten to 60 in: lbs. Step #3 Install the rubber boot from outside the sump by inserting the studs through the bolt holes. From the inside of the sump, install the compression ring over the studs and install nuts by hand. Angled Entries The flexible entry boot is flexible enough to permit angled pipe or conduit entries up to 30' angle. Angles greater than 30* could prevent the boot from sealing around the pipe or conduit. 0 3. E
