AquaFast Flange Adaptor
The AquaFast flange adaptor is supplied pre-assembled and should not be
dismantled prior to installation.

1) The AquaFast flange adaptor is suitable for use on the following pipe materials:
• Metric PVC pipe
• MDPE (PE80), HPPE/HDPE (PE100) Polyethelene pipe – SDR17/17.6 & SDR11
Support liners should not be used with AquaFast for any installation.
2) Check that the pipe material, diameter and wall thickness
(if used on PE pipe) are suitable for the AquaFast flange adaptor.
Ensure that the pipe surface is clean and does not have any score marks that
may provide a leak path under the gasket and that the cut end is square.
Installation of AquaFast Flange Adaptor on Plain Ended Pipe:
3a) Slide the AquaFast flange adaptor fully onto the existing PE / PVC pipe. (See Fig 1)
3b) Ensure the setting gap between the AquaFast flange and the pipe is between
maximum and minimum values as recommended in the Setting Gap table.
3c) Working round the AquaFast flange adaptor, evenly tighten the bolts giving
each nut one or two turns at a time to draw up the end ring evenly.
Continue tightening until "Positive Stop" is achieved. (See Fig 2)
3d) "Positive Stop" Feature of AquaFast flange adaptor
The metal to metal "Positive Stop" feature of the AquaFast flange adaptor means
that installation is completed when the end ring, intermediate ring and flange
adaptor body are all in contact with each other. The resister between the end ring
and the intermediate ring does not need to be fully compressed. (See Fig 3)
Connecting Plain Ended Pipe to a Mating Flange.
4a) Slide the AquaFast flange adaptor fully onto the PE/PVC pipe.
4b) Align the pipe, the AquaFast flange and the mating flange such that the bolt holes
of the AquaFast flange and the mating flanges line up. Ensure the setting gap
between the pipe end and the AquaFast Flange face is between the maximum
and minimum values as defined in the Setting Gap Table below.
4c) Fit flange gasket (Viking Johnson recommend the use of an Inside Bolt Circle –
IBC - gasket) and ensure it is concentric with the flange connecting bolts.
Slide the AquaFast flange adaptor towards the mating flange and bolt them
using standard bolting procedures.
4d) Working round the AquaFast flange adaptor, evenly tighten the AquaFast bolts giving each nut one or two turns
at a time to draw up the end ring evenly. For flange adaptors having over 2 bolts, tighten diametrically opposed
bolts giving the nuts one or two turns at a time drawing up the end ring evenly. Continue tightening until "Positive
Stop" is achieved. The resister between the end ring and the intermediate ring need not be fully compressed.
