Metric Fittings 20mm - 110mm and Imperial Fittings 1/2” - 2”
Insert liner into pipe (metric 20mm-63mm only) and slacken nut until half the thread is visible.
Push pipe into body, through the nut, split ring, and ‘O’ ring.
Tighten nut firmly: Hand tight on pipe 20mm (½”) – 32mm (1”), on pipe 40mm (1 ¼”) and above use a PLASSON wrench.
Note: For diameters 40mm and above, chamfering and lubrication of the pipe will ease insertion (use silicon lubricant). Metric fitting shown for illustrative purposes. Imperial fittings have black nuts.
Metric Fittings - 125mm
Draw the nut, collars, and ‘O’ ring over the end of the pipe to a distance of approx. 250mm (put the white split ring to one side for later use).
Insert the pipe into the body of the fitting until it meets the interior stop. Then draw the ‘O’ ring and collars close to the body of the fitting.
Tighten the nut with a PLASSON wrench until the ‘O’ ring and collars enter the fitting and reach their end position. Unscrew nut from fitting.
Open the white split ring and mount onto pipe with larger side against the collar ensuring that both parts meet the body of the fitting. Screw the nut tightly onto the fitting using a PLASSON wrench.
Metric Fittings - 160mm Undo and take out nuts & bolts. Take the two shell halves apart, remove the exposed sleeve & ‘O’ ring and place over the pipe end. Push the body of the fitting completely home over the pipe end. Place the two shell halves with grip rings over the pipe & fitting body. Insert bolts, washers, and nuts and tighten until the shells are in contact with each other.
Remove nut and grip ring from fitting and mount brown nut onto the pipe and assemble grip ring flush with the pipe end.
Push the barbed end of the adaptor into the pipe until it meets the stop (a mallet may be required). Then push the plain end of the adaptor into the fitting until it meets the stop.
Screw nut tightly towards the body of the fitting using a PLASSON wrench.
PlasSaddle
The two clamps of the saddle wrap around the pipe and snap together. The saddle is now retained on the pipe and the installer is free to keep working.
Saddle body is positioned in place and connected to the clamps by hand tightening of the retaining nut. No small parts (nuts, bolts) that may fall and disapear in the trench are involved.
Use PLASSON mechanical spanner to rotate the nut another 1/2 turn and firmly secure the saddle in place. The outlet is then rotated and secured in the desired direction by tightening the grey nut.
Tapping of either live or unpressurised PE and PVC pipe mains is achieved by operating the integral cutter with a 12mm hex drive.
