AquaFast Product Notes
In addition to the fitting instructions please also take note of the following
when installing AquaFast Products.
Storage Instructions
Store the product in its original packing. In a clean and dry environment prior to installation.
Ensure AquaFast is clean and free from all debris or contaminants before and during installation.
When used with Protective Layered / Colour Coated Pipe
When used on PE pipe with external protection layers, remove protection layer to
beyond the insertion depth of the fitting, this is to ensure that sealing and gripping
is made directly on to the PE surface and not the protective outer layer.
When used with PE Barrier Pipe for use in Contaminated Ground
AquaFast has not been tested or designed to work with PE barrier pipe, therefore we do not recommend
its use. Seek further advice from the PE barrier pipe manufacture for approved fittings.
When used with Oval and Coiled Pipe
It should be noted that coiled pipe in its restrained form may exhibit a higher degree of ovality;
This can also occur to straight pipes when stacked for prolonged periods. AquaFast is a dedicated
product and does not allow a high degree of ovality in the pipe end. The pipe should be checked
for ovality before use and if necessary should be re rounded by suitable equipment.
For further advice on installation of this product contact Viking Johnson Marketing Department.
