L' and can be folded. Use soapy water if needed. Step 9. Prior to installing the Coax coupling to the fitting, place the compression ring of the boot over the coupling end of the pipe and complete the installation of the Access Pipe entry boot. Tighten all compression rings in a clockwise pattern not exceeding 60 in/lbs. If sealant is used on the outside portion of the entry boot, it should be applied during this step. Step 9. Fully insert the Access Pipe and black stiffener into the Access Pipe Entry Boot and install all band clamps. Do not exceed 30 in/lbs on band clamp assemblies. Step 10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 on the other end of the pipe. You may need to compress the Access Pipe in an accordion fashion when installing the Access Pipe at the end of the procedure. Air test Access Pipe if desired. 14.0 PIPING CONNECTIONS After all containment sumps have been interconnected with all of the flexible pipe sections, all riser pipe assemblies and test boots (if required) have been installed, then all piping connections may proceed. There is a different installation procedure for each type of piping connection. Comply with the following connection procedures for each type. 14.1 Coaxial Coupling Connections Coax couplings do not require the use of any tools for tightening. The following connection procedure needs to be followed for proper installation: 14.1.1 Coupling Inspection Prior to connection, inspect coupling to make sure all rubber 0 -rings are properly in place and seated inside the O-ring grooves. Look for any dirt or damage to the 0 -rings which may have occurred during the coupling procedure. Coax nut must be fully seated for proper connection. 14.1.2 Fitting Inspection Remove the plastic protective cap from the fitting or adapter Inspect the fitting or adapter to be sure that it is free of sand or debris in the core area and on the threads. 14.1.3 Tightening Coax Nut Push the pipe coupling onto the core of the fitting or adapter and hand tighten the coax swivel nut onto the threads of the fitting. Be sure that the piping does not twist while hand tightening, and verify that upon tightening, no threads are visible. NOTE: Tighten by hand only until coupling bottoms out into fitting. Do not continue to tighten the nut once the coupling has stopped. 15 n F14e,xW00 RKS By O®W FUELING CONT.1...UT StlBTE.S 14.2 Swivel Couplings Connections Swivel couplings require the use of a small swivel wrench for tightening the coupling swivel nut. The following connection procedures need to be followed for proper installation. NOTE: If standard test boots are to be used, be sure to slide the boots onto the pipe prior to connecting to the fitting. 14.2.1 Coupling Inspection Remove the protective cap from the swivel pipe coupling and verify that the flat ring gasket is seated in the back of the swivel nut and free of dirt and debris. If test boots are to be installed, make sure that they have been properly installed, as described in section 15.2 Installing Test Boots. 14.2.2 Fitting Inspection Remove the plastic protective cap from the metallic fitting or adapter. Inspect the metallic fitting or adapter to be sure that it is free of sand or debris and there is no damage to the sealing face. 14.2.3 Hand Tightening of Swivel Nut When installing swivel couplings, hand tighten the coupling onto the OPW-FCS fittings until it is snug. With an OPW- FCS swivel wrench, tighten the coupling nut %turn more or to 200 in/lbs. Do not allow the pipe to rotate while tightening. The Y4 turn procedure will prevent over tightening of the coupling past the maximum 200 in/lbs. NOTE: Failure to follow this procedure may result in damage to the coupling gasket. 15.0 TEST BOOTS Test boots are installed only onto double wall piping that is coupled and fitted with either swivel couplings & fittings. These rubber boots must be installed onto the end of double wall pipe section prior to connecting the piping section to the fitting. Standard test boots are used with swivel couplings. 15.1 Test Boot Applications _Test Boots_.must be installed, for double wall piping applications, having swivel couplings & fittings installed and require a means for air pressure testing or continuous monitoring of the pipe's interstitial space. 5.1.1 Tank Sumps Test boots installed in these sumps should be connected to the 36" (914mm) long test tubes. The fitting on the end will accept the test gauge used for air pressure testing. 15.1.2 Junction Dispenser Sumps Test boots installed in these sumps should be inter- connected with the approximate size connector tubes.
