Field Cuts
Joining a Male/Female Connection
1.
The pipes should be laid side by side and the
male end marked at the base of the bell on the
female end.
2.
Make a straight through cut on the male end
using a standard carpenter’s saw. Deburr the
ends of the cut pipe.
3.
Apply Carlon Quick Set Cement in a thin uniform coating to the inside surface of the sockets and raise both ends and align the ducts on
the male ends to the bells on the female end.
4.
Once the ducts are aligned with their sockets,
lower both of the pipes. The ducts will be automatically returned to their original position as
the joints are forced together.
Field Cuts
Repairing Damaged Intra-Gard That Is Vacant
1.
Cut out damaged section making a flush cut on
both sides and deburr all pipes.
2.
Measure damaged section and new section
wIth a socket and measure from base of socket
and cut flush. Intra-Gard couplings are installed
onto the individual ducts of the section in the
ground.
3.
Install new section in trench by first applying
Carlon Quick Set Cement and pushing sockets
onto either spigot ends.
4.
Line up ducts with couplings and raise or bow
center of duct span, apply cement and slip
ducts into couplings.
Repairing Intra-Gard
®
Once Installed
Joining Two Male Ends
1.
The pipes should be laid side by side, marked and flush cut
to butt up against each other. Deburr the ends of the cut
pipe and install a spare spacer if needed, and use standard
couplings.
2.
Place each individual coupling onto ducts using Carlon
Quick Set Cement.
3.
Lift sections to align each coupling with other ducts.
4.
Lower both sections to a level position.
Repair sections may use a standard 20' length of
lntra-Gard with sockets and cut to length.
Repairing Intra-Gard Housing a Cable
1.
Carefully cut out the damaged section of the Intra-Gard.
2.
Where cable is installed, slide the split couplings onto
each individual duct, fitting the cable into the grooved
coupling passage. Repeat the process on the other side.
3.
Carefully insert the cable into the split duct. Push the
split duct into the split coupling at both ends. Wrap all
slit areas with sealing tape or shrink wrap, etc. as recommended by specifier to seal out water.
4.
Install stop coupling onto other vacant ducts with
Carlon Quick Set Cement and install the ducts into the
other openings of the couplings with cement.
5.
Ensure the duct system is straight and even before
encasing in soil.
