Recommended Integral Bell Pipe Joining Procedures

Step 1 Wipe all dirt and grease from male end. Insure male end is beveled.

Step 2 Apply lubricant to male end (particularly the bevel), using a paint brush. Do not lubricate the gasket or bell.

Step 3 Insert beveled end into bell until reference mark is flush with lip of the bell. Because of close tolerances vertical and horizontal alignment is very important.

Sept 4 If installation requires that the pipe be cut, bevel the cut ends uniformly. A 15o bevel must be made for proper entry into the gasket area.

Step 5 Reference marks—A felt pen or crayon can be used to mark the location of a reference mark after cutting and beveling. To determine proper location of mark, refer to factory marking on pipe of same size.

Note: If needed, a pry bar may be used to assist in joining in the pipe sections. If used, the pipe should be protected by a short board placed between the pipe end and pry bar. If normal force is not sufficient to completely join the pipe, separate the joint and check to make sure there are no obstructions.

Caution: Never allow gaskets to come in contact with diesel fuel or other such petroleum products.
