The removal of this section of adapter/frtting to the next. If swivel couplings and fittings are used, stand-off jacket remits the installation of the coupling or clamp which subtract 1"to allow for the length of the two pipe couplings and cut the fits on the outside surface of the primary pipe section. piping to that length. If barbed fittings are used,add 3-1/1"for 1-1/2" piping,4-1/2'for 2"piping and 6"for 3"piping.For coax application,no modification to the measurement is necessary. 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.The set of holes (A)are used to strip off a shorter section 1A1 181 for use with swivel couplings&fittings and the second set of holes(B)are used to strip off a longer section for use with barbed fittings. 13.4 GeoFlex® Pipe Cutting 13.5.2 Pre-stripping When cutting the GeoFlex piping into pipe sections,cut the pipe at Raise and turn the handle to 45 degrees so the blade will be above the measured cut mark using the pipe cutter tool.This cutting tool the surface of the pipe. • is designed to make clean and even cuts in the GeoFlex and GeoVent-piping. Clean and even piping cuts are necessary for the proper installation of the GeoFlex pipe couplings. !� Note: A conventional fine toothed hand saw may be used instead of the pipe cutter as Tong as the saw cut is straight across the pipe and all pipe edges are cleaned with either a knife or sandpaper. 13.5.3 Circular Cutting Insert the end of the pipe section 13.4.1 Cutter Positioning comoletely into the jacket cutter. Make Mark the Pipe where it is to be cut. sure the pipe bottoms against the stop Next position the blade of the pipe pin. Next lower the handle so that it is cutter over the mark. perpendicular to the body of the jacket cutter.Rotate the cutter around the pipe two times to make a complete radial cut on the secondary jacket. Note: Pipe must bottom out against stop pin to insure proper length of jacket is removed. 13.4.2 Blade Activation 13.5.4 Linear Cutting Squeeze the handles up and down to Raise and turn the handle 90 degrees 'G,`` activate the movement of the blade. so the handle will be parallel with the Continue until the blade will no longer jacket cutter body.

Continue to squeeze the handles pipe,and peel the secondary jacket away up and down to complete the entire pipe at that point from the primary inner pipe. cut. Inspect the cut to make sure it is even.
