Mechanical Joint Fittings

Installation Instructions

1. Identify the pipe. The 2000PV is for use with PVC and HDPE pipe. The 4 inch through 12 inch size may
be used on C900, and IPS PVC pipe as well as C906 HDPE pipe. Check to see if the spacers under
the screws are in place. If the pipe is C900 or is ductile iron O.D., proceed with spacers in place. If the
pipe is IPS O.D., remove the spacers. Since 3 inch and 14 inch through 24 inch restraints are only
used with one pipe diameter, no spacers are used. Assemble the push-on joint per the pipe manufac­turer’s instructions.

2. Clean the socket and the plain end. Lubrication and additional cleaning should be provided by brushing
both the gasket and plain end with soapy water or an approved pipe lubricate meeting the requirements
of ANSI/ AWWA C111/A21.11 just prior to slipping the gasket onto the plain end for joint assembly.
Place the gland on the plain end with the lip extension toward the plain end; follow by the gasket with
the narrow edge of the gasket toward the plain end [The gasket provided may be the EBAA-Seal™
Improved Mechanical Joint Gasket for C900 PVC Pipe. This gasket is bi-directional having no front or
back. For ASTM 2241 PVC Pipe Sizes (IPS O.D.) a Transition Gasket must be used. The use of a pipe

wall sti󰀨ening insert is required on High Density Polyethylene pipe.

NOTE: In cold weather it is preferable to warm the gasket to facilitate assembly of the joint.

3. Insert the pipe into the socket and press the gasket rm and evenly into the gasket recess. Keep the
joint straight during assembly.

4. Push the gland toward the socket and center it around the pipe with the gland lip against the gasket.

Insert bolts and hand-tighten nuts. Make deection after joint assembly but before tightening bolts.

5. Tighten the bolts to the normal range of bolt torque [45-60 ft-lbs for 3 inch, 75-90 ft-lbs for 4 inch
through 24 inch, 100-120 ft-lbs for 30 inch and 36 inch, and 120-150 ft-lbs for 42 inch and 48 inch.]
while at all times maintaining approximately the same distance between the gland and the face of the

ange at all points around the socket. This can be accomplished by partially tightening the bottom bolt
rst, then the top bolt, next the bolts at either side, nally the remaining bolts. Repeat the process until
all bolts are within the appropriate range of torque. In large sizes (30-48 inch), ve or more repetitions

may be required. The use of a torque-indicating wrench will facilitate the procedure.

6. Tighten the torque limiting twist-o󰀨 nuts in a clockwise direction (direction indicated by arrow on top

of nut) until all wedges are in rm contact with the pipe surface. Continue tightening in an alternating
manner until all of the nuts have been twisted o󰀨.

7. If removal is necessary, utilize the ⅝ inch hex heads provided. If reassembly is required, assemble the
joint in the same manner as above; tighten the screws to 60 to 80 ft-lbs. If the Series 2000PV restraint
is removed from the pipe, be sure that all of the screws, spacers (if required), and wedges are in place
before the restraint is reassembled.

NOTE: Steps 2-5 are requirements of AWWA C600.
