When the weather is cool (70° F or below), pre -warm the adhesive <br />kits. (Warm to the touch is sufficient.) <br />2. ';Empty the hardener can into the can of adhesive. <br />3.', Mix all the adhesive with all of the hardener during the mixing <br />process. <br />4. Wipe down the sides, bottom and under the rim of the can with the <br />mixing stick. <br />5. i', Mix until the adhesive has a smooth flow off the mixing stick. <br />Joint cleaning. <br />NOTE: Solvent containers may be under pressure. Use caution when <br />removing the inner seals. Eye protection is recommended. <br />1.;', Use sufficient cleaner and clean paper towels. <br />2. j Clean all of the T.A. B." (Threaded and Bonded) ortapered surfaces, <br />both bell and spigot. <br />3. Remove oil, grease, mud, fingerprints, etc. <br />4.I'' Once cleaned, do not touch the bonding surfaces. <br />T.A.B. joint make-up. <br />1.iMeasure the length of the threads in the bell. <br />2. On the spigot, make a mark Y4" longer than the bell thread mea- <br />surement. <br />3. Prewarm the surfaces at temperatures below 70° F. Use a propane <br />?'torch with flame spreader tip, electric heating collar or other handy <br />heat source. Surfaces should be warm to the touch. Do not touch <br />tapered surfaces to check (i.e., touch outside of bell or inside of <br />spigot.) <br />4.! Cover all machined areas on the spigot and at least %z" beyond the <br />last thread in the bell with the adhesive. <br />5. Screw the pipe together by hand ensuring that you do not have the <br />joint cross threaded. With 2" diameter RED TH READ I I pipe you can <br />tighten it with your hands until the mark on the spigot is no longer <br />i' visible. On 3" and 4" RED THREAD 11 pipe use the T.A.B. wrenches <br />to screw the pipe together until the mark on the spigot is no longer <br />visible. Spigots must insert at least Y4" past the threaded portion of <br />the bell. <br />6.1i Check lock-up by moving free end of pipe in an up and down or side <br />to side motion. No movement should be visible in the joint. If any <br />movement exists, continue to tighten until no movement is visible. <br />Connections into fittings are made using the normal bell and spigot <br />methods. (111 C) <br />Organize the crew for maximum efficiency. <br />The man doing the cleaning should stay one joint ahead of the assembly <br />crew and raise the free end of the pipe for good alignment. <br />Organize the crew so that the adhesive is spread on the bonding surface <br />as quickly as possible — particularly in extremely hot weather. <br />Plan adhesive kit usage so that the crew won't have to wait while one <br />man goes to get another kit. <br />Plan ahead so that a sufficient number of bonds are available to use up <br />one whole kit to avoid waste. <br />
