BELL$AND$SPIGOT$INSTALLATION
Remove(the(protective(wrap(from(the(gasket(on(the(spigot(end(of(the(pipe.(It(is(imperative(that(both(the(bell(and(the(
spigot(ends(of(the(pipe(connection(are(clean(and(free(of(any(dirt(or(foreign(material.
The(gasket(and(bell(must(be(thoroughly(lubricated(with(pipe(lubricant(available(from(Prinsco.(Generously(apply(pipe(
lube(to(the(gasket(area(of(the(spigot(end(of(the(connection(as(well(as(the(inside(surface(of(the(bell.
Spigots(must(always(be(pushed(into(bells!(While(smaller(diameter(pipe(may(be(assembled(by(hand,(most(large(
diameter(applications(will(require(mechanical(means(to(make(the(connection.((When(mechanical(means(are(applied,(
a(push(block(or(scrap(stub(of(pipe(shall(be(used(to(apply(the(force(to(ensure(the(installed(pipe(is(not(damaged.((
During(joint(insertion,(attention(should(be(placed(on(the(depth(of(the(bell(to(ensure(the(spigot(is(properly(homed(
without(applying(excessive(force(and(without(excessive(internal(joint(gap.(
If(problems(are(encountered(with(gasket(seating,(it(is(usually(due(to(lack(of(adequate(gasket(and(coupler(lu-bri-ca-
tion(or(improper(insertion(technique.(The(gasket(may(pull(out(of(position(if(the(assembly(is(not(properly(lubricated,(
resulting(in(compromised(joint(performance.
GASKET$AND$SNAP$COUPLER$INSTALLATION
Prinsco(Snap(Couplers(and(Gaskets(are(de(signed(to(be(used(exclusively(with(Prinsco(GOLDFLO/ECOFLO(WT(and(
Goldline(Pipe.(The(cou(plers(may(be(used(with(or(without(the(gaskets.(When(using(the(gasketed(application,(two(
gaskets(are(required:(one(for(each(end(of(the(pipe(inserted(into(the(coupler.
Gaskets(must(be(lubricated(with(biodegradable,(non(pet(roleum-based(pipe(joint(lubricant(before(installation(on(the(
pipe.(It(is(important(to(make(sure(that(both(the(gasket(and(coupler(are(com(pletely(lu(bri(cated.(The(gaskets(are(placed(
so(that(they(stand(in(the(valley(between(the(first(and(second(pipe(rib(from(the(end(to(be(coupled.
Snap(couplers(may(be(shipped(separated(from(the(pipe(and(should(be(fitted(to(one(pipe(end(before(it(is(installed(
in(the(trench.(Extra(care(must(be(taken(to(keep(the(gasket(and(coupler(clean(and(free(from(dirt(in(order(to(assure(a(
good(seal.(The(corrugations(will(drag(trench(material(into(the(coupler(bell(unless(care(is(taken.(It(is(recommended(
that(a(clean(plastic(or(plywood(sheet(be(placed(under(the(joint(while(assembling(the(coupling.(The(couplers(are(
designed(so(that(four(pipe(corrugation(ribs(enter(the(coupler(when(the(coupler(and(pipe(are(fully(engaged.(Care(
must(be(taken(to(fully(engage(both(pipe(ends(into(the(coupler.
If(problems(are(encountered(with(gasket(seating,(it(is(usually(due(to(lack(of(adequate(gasket(and(coupler((
lu(bri(ca(tion.(The(gasket(may(pull(out(of(position(if(the(assembly(is(not(properly(lubricated.
