Plidco Split+Sleeve Instrucciones De Instalación página 3


During the Installation procedure, those installing the PLIDCO product must wear, at minimum,
Z87+ safety eyewear and steel toe safety footwear.
The purpose of the Sling Closure Assembly is to offer control of the PLIDCO Split+Sleeve as it closes
around the pipe and to protect the seals during the installation.
1. Review the PLIDCO Split+Sleeve Installation Instructions prior to assembly.
2. Become familiar with the operation of the adjustable ratchet buckle on the nylon sling.
3. Installation of a PLIDCO Split+Sleeve using the Sling Closure Assembly is optional. If the Sling
Closure Assembly is not to be used, the hinge stop(s) must be readjusted such that the sleeve
opening is 10% to 20% greater than the pipe diameter. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the seals. The sleeve opening is typically much greater for use
with the Sling Closure Assembly than for use without the Sling Closure Assembly.
4. Verify the hinge stop setting is correct. The hinge stop(s) and nylon sling lengths are pre-set at the
factory to allow the hinged assembly to open to the proper distance for installation using the Sling
Closure Assembly. Consult the Sling Closure Assembly Test Report for the proper settings if the
sling length or hinge stop has been altered.
5. Thread the 4 sling pins into the nuts welded on the ends of the Split+Sleeve as shown in Figures 2
& 3. It is easier to install the "L" shaped guard brackets after the sling is placed over the pins.
