5. ASSEMBLY CONSIDERATIONS

Fitting Size
Prior to assembly, verify that the fitting and sleeve are the proper size
to be connected with the pipe. The size (i.e. 1/2 or 1 1/4 in.) is
marked on each fitting and each sleeve.
Fitting and Sleeve Inspection
Carefully inspect all fittings and sleeves for damage prior to assembly.
Do not use fittings or sleeves if there is any doubt about their
integrity.
Sleeve Direction
The sleeve is omnidirectional and can be slid on the pipe in either
direction.
Pipe Cutting
When cutting the pipe to length, the cut must be clean and at a right
angle (90º) to the pipe wall. Ensure there are no burrs or debris
inside the pipe.
Expansion of Pipe
- Verify that the RAUPEX pipe is placed completely onto the properly
sized expander head. The pipe should be fully inserted to the first
step of the expander head.
- Ensure the compression sleeve is a minimum of two times the
length of the sleeve from the end of the pipe. Do not expand the
sleeve and the pipe together.
- Expand the RAUPEX pipe twice, ensuring the expander head is
rotated 1/2 of one expander head segment between expansions.
This ensures that the fitting can be properly inserted.
