INSERT FITTING INSTALLATION

Pipe is cut to length with handsaw or knife. When installing flexible lines, (a) snake line one foot or more per 100 lineal feet, (b) cold water
should be run through lines prior to backfilling to permit pipe to contract, (c) care should be taken to prevent large and sharp-edged rocks from
being in position to crush pipe. Insert fittings are used to join lengths of flexible pipe. Stainless steel clamps are first slipped over ends of pipe,
fitting is inserted and steel clamps are tightened securely over barbs on fittings. DO NOT use oil or detergent on any fittings. Use plain water or
soapy water as lubricant on fitting. For attachment to previously installed metallic systems or threaded fixtures, the insert adapter is utilized.
Apply thread sealant to the threaded end of adapter and tighten into female connection. Steel clamp is then slipped over pipe end and pipe
slipped over serrated end of insert adapter. Steel clamp is then positioned over serrations on insert adapter and securely tightened with a
screwdriver.

TWIST LOCK INSERT INSTALLATION

Twist Lock Fittings with built in lock ring are installed the same as regular Insert Fittings, but do not require steel clamps. Check that lock ring
component is fully threaded onto fitting. Slip pipe over serrated end of insert adapter. Twist lock ring back over pipe and barb to seal.

SPIRAL BARB FITTING INSTALLATION

Spiral Barb fittings are designed for use with 1/2" (.490) polyethylene irrigation hose and do not require steel clamps. Install with a twisting
motion to fully engage barbs.
