Guide Specifications <br />6.1 Short Form <br />6.2 Long Form <br />• <br />1 GENERAL INFORMATION <br />These rubber boots are designed to seal pipe and conduit entries for <br />underground applications. Flexible entry boots have a composite <br />construction of rubber and metal. A studded compression ring is <br />molded into a boot which provides a means of fastening the boot to <br />the containment sump wall using a compression ring and nut <br />fastener to insure a waterproof seal. <br />All entry boots are designed to provide universal flexibility for pipe <br />or conduit providing up and down, side to side, back to front <br />movement, as well as angled pipe entries. This flexibility is <br />important for aligning pipe connections and providing stress relief. <br />The standard boot design allows for angled pipe entries up to 15 <br />degrees off the centerline and has no corrodible components <br />exposed to the soil environment. All materials used are suitable for <br />underground burial and are chemically compatible with all fuels. <br />1.1 Independent Testing <br />All Environ flexible entry boots are listed with Underwriters <br />Laboratories, Inc. (UL®). The boots have been successfully tested to <br />UL's standard testing procedure for petroleum transport accessories <br />and are listed under file #MH17938 and #MH19391. These tests <br />confirmed the compatibility of the specially formulated Buna-N <br />Rubber compound in typical ground environments as well as <br />hol based fuels. <br />1.2 Positive Seal <br />Flexible entry boots have been tested to withstand a minimum of 6' <br />of liquid head pressure. These seals provide a studded flange <br />connection to create a positive and secure seal where the <br />rubber contacts the sump wall. Tightening a series of <br />stud fasteners with a compression ring provides a very high <br />compression seal compared to screw on type bulkhead seals. <br />1.3 Corrosion Resistance <br />The exterior studded compression <br />ring which provides the sealing <br />pressure is encapsulated within <br />rubber to protect it from corrosion. <br />(more than an 1/8" of rubber isolates <br />this metallic studded ring from <br />the ground environment) The inside <br />compression ring is made from <br />corrosion resistant steel. All studs <br />are made of 401 stainless steel and <br />are only exposed on the inside of the <br />containment sump. <br />
