How to Install Vulcathene Mechanical Fittings

Creating a secure mechanical joint with Vulcathene fittings involves a precise and methodical process to ensure optimal joint integrity and system performance. Follow these steps for installation:

  1. Cutting the Pipe:
    • Use a rotary plastic pipe cutter for a clean, burr-free cut. Clamp the pipe to avoid distortion.
    • Ensure the cut is square. If a hacksaw is used, remove all burrs and loose material.
    • Groove the pipe using the appropriate grooving tool for the tongued olive to fit in.
  2. Grooving:
    • Insert the pipe fully into the grooving tool.
    • Adjust the blade depth to about half and rotate the tool anti-clockwise around the pipe.
    • Increase the blade to full depth, continue rotating, then remove the tool and clear any swarf.
  3. Assembling the Joint:
    • Slide the nut onto the pipe, with the threaded side facing the groove.
    • Insert the olive (widest end first) into the groove. Use Vulcathene lubricant for ease, especially with larger sizes.
    • Ensure the olive is correctly seated and the fitting thread is clean. Apply lubricant to the fitting threads.
    • Loosely assemble the joint and hand-tighten the nut using two Vulcathene spanners, then tighten fully to ensure a secure fit.

Note:

  • Tighten nuts progressively during installation, not all at once at the end.
  • Use the Vulcathene grooving tool and spanners to guarantee the joint's integrity.

For detailed instructions, it's crucial to refer to the Vulcathene Installation Guide.
