Rigid Entry Boots REB & RDEB Installation Instructions Body Flat Gasket Clamp Plate Band Clamps Compression Nut Duct Boot (Included with RDEB) Warning Caution Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation, testing and inspection of this product and its associated systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage, environmental contamination and / or system degradation. The part described in this document is one element of a system. All components of this system should be installed according to the manufacturer s specifications so that the system s integrity is not compromised. Test the complete system after installation according to all pertinent local, state and federal laws to ensure its proper operation. Failure to properly verify operation could lead to environmental contamination. Note: When installing pipe into entry boots, piping must be less than 15 degrees from perpendicular to the sump walls or the APT warranty will be voided. Entry angles in excess of 15 degrees from perpendicular can cause excessive stress, which may kink the pipe. Note: Do not install pipe entries into the bottom of any APT sump. Note: Flexible and ducted entry boots are designed to seal to the flat walls of our sumps. Note: During piping installation, ensure that the scuff guard is trimmed back to the outside of the sump wall. The entry boots will not seal correctly to the scuff guard layer and system integrity could be compromised. 1
1. Installation in Poly Sumps Note: See page 6 for round sump installation 1. Mark hole location for the piping entrance. 5. Screw on the Clamp Plate on the fitting from the inside of the sump and tighten it hand-tight. Clamp Plate Sump Interior Figure 1: Mark Location Note: Mark the hole so the bottom edge of the fitting is at least 2" from the bottom of the sump. 2. Drill a 5 hole where the sump is marked. Figure 4: Install Clamp Plate 6. Use a spanner wrench to turn the Clamp Plate an additional ¼ turn. Figure 5: Tighten Clamp Plate ¼ Turn Figure 2: Drill 5" Hole 3. Remove Clamp Plate. Note: Do NOT over-tighten the fitting. Use a chain wrench or spanner wrench as shown. Do NOT use pipe-wrenches or adjustable / slip joint pliers. Gasket Sump Exterior 7. Insert the XP pipe into the fitting. Clamp Plate 2 Figure 3: Insert Fitting 4. Place fitting and flat gasket in opening from the outside. Note: The Double-Tapered Gasket and Keyed Adapter Ring are used only with round sumps, and supplied with REB-R and RDEB-R fittings only. Figure 6: Insert XP Pipe
XP Pipe Cutback Once the pipe run is pulled and each section is cut to length, square off the end of the pipe, de-burr it, and then proceed with the cutback. If you are using Secondary Contained (SC) piping, cut back the scuff guard layer even with or outside of the sump wall and cut back the SC layer 4½" (11.5 cm). 9. After the XP Pipe is inserted, tighten the Compression Nut hand-tight. Compression Nut Pipe Layers 4½" (11.5 cm) Primary Jacket (free of clear mylar layer) *Even with, or outside of, the sump wall Secondary Containment Jacket Scuff Guard (including metallized mylar layer) Figure 8: Turn the Compression Nut Hand-Tight 10. Turn the compression nut an additional ¼ turn using a spanner wrench or chain wrench. * The scuff guard must be cut back to be even with, or outside of, the sump wall ensuring that the entry boot seals on the SC jacket and not on the scuff guard layer. Figure 7: XP Pipe Cut-Back Note: The Pipe Seal should be installed before installing the Entry Boot. 8. From the inside, Loosen the Compression Nut to install the XP Pipe. Figure 9: Tighten Compression Nut ¼ Turn Note: If a leak occurs during the hydrostatic test, add an additional torque of not more than ¼ turn on the fitting. Caution: Do NOT over-tighten the compression nut. Over-tightening of the compression nut will cause it to break. Note: If you have followed these steps and a leak has been discovered between the pipe seal and the outer wall of the secondary layer, remove the compression nut and check for debris between the secondary layer of the XP pipe and the seal. Once this step has been completed, repeat steps 9 & 10. 3
2. Attaching Ducting Note: Refer to Ducting System Installation Instructions (document 771-206-00) for detailed duct installation. 1. Start by installing the duct bushing into the end of the duct. 4. Install a band clamp on the duct boot to secure it to the fitting. Note: The two outside band clamps can be placed on the boot loosely and tightened after the duct is installed. Duct Bushing Figure 10: Duct Bushing Installed 2. Install the duct seal onto the first valley behind the bushing. Figure 13: Install Band Clamp 5. Install the prepared duct end into the duct boot. Figure 11: Duct Seal Installed 3. Install the duct boot on the fitting. Note that the ends of the Duct Boot are different and the larger size goes on the entry boot. Figure 14: Place Duct Into Boot 6. Install 2 band clamps on the outside of the duct boot to secure the duct. Figure 12: Install Duct Boot Note: If ducting will be installed, it is easier to install the Duct Boot before installing the fitting in the sump. 4 Figure 15: Installing Boot Band Clamps Tighten the band clamps to 20 inch-pounds of torque. Note: Do NOT over-tighten band clamps
3. Installing XP Pipe with Swage Fittings into the Rigid Entry Boot Installing 2" pipe with Swage Fittings 2 inch XP Pipe with swage fittings can be installed following the procedure shown in section 1 with the following modifications. 1. Remove the Compression Nut and Pipe Seal. 2. Insert the piping through the fitting. 3. Pull Pipe Seal over swage fitting and pipe, and reinstall it on the Rigid Entry Fitting. Installing 1½" and 1¾" pipe with Swage Fittings For 1½" and 1¾" pipe size, the pipe must be inserted through the fitting components before installing the swage fitting. 1. Remove the Compression Nut, Pipe Seal, Compression Nut Insert and Snap Fitting from the Rigid Entry Boot body. 2. Install the Rigid Entry Boot and insert the XP pipe. 3. Slide the Snap Fitting, Pipe Seal, Compression Nut Insert and Compression Nut on to the pipe. Pipe Seal Snap Fitting Compression Nut Insert Figure 16: Install Pipe Seal 4. Install the Compression Nut. Figure 18: Fitting Components: 1½" and 1¾ pipe size 4. Install the swage fitting. 5. Slide the pipe back through the body the required amount. 6. Reassemble the Rigid Entry Boot components. 7. Install the compression nut and tighten it handtight. 8. Use the spanner wrench to tighten it an additional ¼ turn. Compression Nut Figure 17: Swage Fitting Installed Note: When using 2" pipe, the Snap Fitting and Compression Nut Insert are not used. 5
4. Installing the Fitting in a Round Fiberglass Sump Sump Exterior Tab on Gasket The REB-R and RDEB-R fitting can be installed on rounded sumps with a diameter of 42 (1066.8 cm) or greater. The process is the same as shown earlier with one important difference: the assembly requires (1) doubletapered seal (Sump Exterior) and (1) Keyed Adapter Ring (Sump Interior) instead of the one seal used for flat surfaces. 1. After the 5" hole is drilled in the fiberglass sump, use 80 grit sandpaper to smooth the inside and outside surface for 2" around the opening. Note: Mark the hole so the bottom edge of the fitting is at least 2" from the bottom of the sump. Sump Interior Figure 21: Gasket Installed, Sump Exterior 4. From the inside of the sump, install the Keyed Adapter Ring on the fitting. "Sump This Side" note Sump Exterior Figure 19: Sand Around Hole Interior Key Figure 22: Keyed Adapter Ring 5. Position this ring such that the sump note is towards the sump wall and the key engages the keyway on the fitting (Figure 23). This results in the wide thicknesses of the ring being on top and bottom. Sump Interior Keyway Faces Up Figure 20: Sand Around Hole Exterior 2. Clean the sanded area with acetone. 3. From the outside, install the double-tapered gasket between the fitting and the sump. Position the seal such that the wide thicknesses are to the sides. (The tab on the gasket will face up. See figure 21). Figure 23: Keyway Location on Fitting 6
8. Complete the rest of the installation as shown on page 2, starting at Figure 4. If a leak occurs during the hydrostatic test, add an additional torque of not more than ¼ turn on the fitting. Figure 24: Locking Ring, Hand-Tight 6. Install the Locking Ring on the fitting and tighten it hand-tight (Figure 24). Make a mark on the fitting and sump wall as shown. 90º Figure 25: Tighten Locking Ring using a Spanner Wrench 7. Use a spanner wrench or chain wrench to tighten the locking ring 90º from the hand-tightened position (Figure 25). 7
