The Multi-Gard PVC System is designed for easy assembly as follows:
1. Distribute Multi-Gard sections along the sides of the trench with male ends
pointing towards starting vault entrance.
2. Remove protective cap and install Multi-Gard terminator on male end.
Install first section into vault opening or enclosure making sure the print
line is on the top stating "INSTALL PRINT LINE UP."
3. Each consecutive 20' section can now be placed by inserting the male end
into the gasketed belled end 1/2" to the gasket depth. Make sure the print
line is upright. (If not, rotate the outer duct until it is.) Now push the
sections together with a firm push by hand until belled end seats against
insertion line. (Apply standard grade cement (VC9962) to male end if
system will be used for jetting).
Terminations
Standard Terminators (Type1) allow Multi-Gard to be terminated into a standard
pre-cast termination for Type C or Type 40 PVC.
1. Remove watertight plugs in order to assure total insertion of the Multi-
Gard innerducts.
2. Install terminators into male end of Multi-Gard to full depth.
3. Replace watertight plugs into the terminator and tighten.
4. Insert prepared male end into the pre-cast terminator with print line facing
upward. Solvent cement into place.
5. Use shim enclosed for terminator requiring a connection of Type C (4.35
O.D.) into a Type 40 (4.50 O.D.) termination.
