L' piping. Clean and even piping cuts are necessaij for the proper installation of the OPW-FCS pipe couplings. 13.4.1 Cutter Positioning Mark the pipe where it is to be cut. Next position the blade of the pipe cutter over the mark. y 13.4.2 Blade Activation Squeeze the handles up and down to activate the movement of the blade. t` Continue until the blade will no longer continue to activate. This procedure will cause the pipe to slightly compress. 13.4.3 Pipe Cutting Rotate the entire pipe cutter 1/4 turn to permit the blade to penetrate the wall of the pipe. Continue to squeeze the handles up and down to complete the entire pipe cut. Inspect the cut to make sure it is even. NOTE: Do not rotate blade more than 1/4" turn. Inspect edge of cut and inside of piping after cutting for any signs of damage. 13.5 Stripping Containment Jacket In order to install the swivel pipe coupling to the end of a double wall pipe section, it is necessary to strip off small sections of the outer stand-off containment jacket. The removal of this section of stand-off jacket permits the installation of the coupling or clamp which fits on the outside surface of the primary pipe section. 13.5.1 Strip Length Setting There are two sets of holes on the body of the jacket cutter for the installation of a "stop pin" used to set the length of the jacket to be cut off. NOTE: The secondary jacket is not removed when using single wall piping or coax couplings. 13.5.2 Pre -stripping Raise and turn the handle to 45 degrees so the blade will be above the surface of the pipe. 13.5.3 Circular Cutting Insert the end of the pipe section completely into the jacket cutter. Make sure the pipe bottoms against the stop pin. Next lower the handle so that it is perpendicular to the body of the jacket cutter. Rotate the cutter around the pipe two or three times to make a complete radial cut on the 12 FleAVVORKS BY DPW FUELING CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS secondary jacket. Note: •- must bottom out .•.inst stop yin to insure proper removed. 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
