Multi-Gard®PVC – Assembly/Field Cuts

Assembly

Field Cuts

1.

Distribute Multi-gard sections along
the sides of the trench with male ends
pointing towards starting vault entrance.

2.

Remove protective cap and
install Multi-Gard terminator on
male end. Install first section
into vault opening or enclosure
making sure the print line is on
the top stating “INSTALL PRINT
LINE UP.” (See next page for
terminations.)

2. A spare spacer may be

installed to align the innerducts
if they seem loose.

2. Align innerducts on Multi-Gard section “A” with

couplings on section “B”. Solvent cement each coupling

for air tight seal and push until both ends are flush.
Apply solvent cement to both ends of Multi-Gard and
slide sleeve until it is centered on both sections.

3.

Each consecutive 20' section can now be
placed by inserting the male end into the gas­keted belled end 1/2

" to the gasket depth. Make
sure the print line is upright. (If not, rotate the
outer duct until it is.) Now push the sections
together with a firm push until belled end seats
against insertion line.

3. Raise both ends and align the innerducts

on the male end into the coupling body on
the female end. Lower both ends and the
innerducts will automatically return to their
original position as the joints are forced
together.

Joining Male and Female Ends

Joining Two Male Ends

1. Lay the Multi-Gard sections side by

side and mark the male end at the
base of the bell on the female end.
Make a straight cut using
a standard carpenter saw.

1. Flush cut Multi-Gard sections “A” + “B” as shown in figure 1. Slide

outerduct sleeve over Multi-Gard section “B” as shown in figure # 2.

Insert end spacer into Multi-Gard plain end (chamfer side in) as
shown in figure #2. Press couplings onto innerducts of Multi-Gard

section “B” as shown in figure #3.

Multi-Gard®PVC – Terminations

Standard Terminators (Type 1) allow
Multi-Gard to be terminated into a
standard pre-cast termination.

1. Remove watertight plugs in order to
assure total insertion of the Multi-Gard
innerducts.

2. Install terminators into male end of
Multi-Gard to full depth.

3. Replace watertight plugs into the
terminator and tighten.

4. Insert prepared male end into the
pre-cast terminator with print line facing
upward. Solvent cement into place.

5. Use shim enclosed for terminator
requiring a connection of Type C
(4.35 O.D.) into a Type 40 (4.50 O.D.)
termination.

Use a Type 6 Enclosure Terminator at
entrances into metal or non-metallic
enclosures above ground.

1. Remove watertight plugs in order to
assure total insertion of the Multi-Gard
innerducts.

2. Install terminators into male end of
Multi-Gard to full depth.

3. Replace watertight plugs into the
terminator and tighten.

4. Install threaded adapter over end of
Multi-Gard using solvent cement. Insert
adapter through enclosure hole and
provide 4" locking ring.

5. Use shim enclosed for terminator
requiring a connection of type C (4.35
O.D.) termination.

The pass-through terminator is designed to
allow for continuous ducts through the vault
or hand hole for cable pulling.

1. Install terminator into vault following steps
1 through 5 for standard Type 1 terminator.

2. Cut innerduct of pass through kit 10" longer
than the width of the manhole. Add spacers
as needed.

3. Upon completion, remove the watertight
plugs and install innerducts to traverse
manhole/handhole by cutting to length
inserting into one side of handhole and
raising or bowing center of innerduct span
to insert into the pass-through terminator
on the opposite side. (See pass-through kits
on page 276.)

Use a Type 1 Standard Terminator also at an
entrance where a pre-cast terminator is not
available or a knockout is used:

1. Insert the male end section of Multi-Gard
4 inches past the inside wall of the vault
with print line facing upward.

2. Remove the protective cap from the male
end of the Multi-Gard.

3. Remove the watertight plugs and insert
the terminator to full depth.

4. Install bell fitting over the end of
Multi-Gard using solvent cement, and
replace plugs.

5. Slide Multi-Gard section until bell fitting is
flush with inside, and then seal entrance as
required by job specifications.

Use the jet terminator for jetting operations.

1. Remove watertight plugs in order to assure
to total insertion.

2. Apply standard grade solvent cement
(VC9962) to male end of Multi-Gard. Install
jet terminator to insertion line.

3. Replace watertight plugs into terminator
and tighten.

4. Apply standard grade solvent cement to
terminator male end and insert into pre-cast
bell end. (Install PVC bell fitting in kit if pre­cast bell end is not available).

5. Use shim enclosed for terminator requiring
a connection of Type C (4.35" O.D.) into a
Type 40 (4.50" O.D.) termination.

6. Measure between ends of terminators on
opposite ends of vault, and cut innerduct to
length.

7. Solvent cement each coupling into place or
use mechanical coupling rated for use with
high speed air blowing systems.

Use split plugs for sealing Multi-Gard cells
where cable has been installed.
