ALWAYS USE A GRUVLOK LUBRICANT FOR PROPER COUPLING ASSEMBLY.
Thorough lubrication of the gasket is essential to assist the gasket into the proper sealing position.
1
Pipe preparation—
Cut the
appropriate size hole in the pipe and
remove any burrs. Be sure to remove the slug
from inside the pipe. Clean the gasket sealing
surface within
5
/
8
" of the hole and visually
inspect the sealing surface for defects that may
prevent proper sealing of the gasket.
2
Check & lubricate gasket—
Check the gasket to be sure it is compatible
for the intended service. Apply a thin layer of
Gruvlok lubricant to the back surface of the
gasket. Be careful that foreign particles do not
adhere to the lubricated surfaces. Insert the
gasket back into the outlet housing making
sure the tabs in the gasket line up with the tab
recesses in the housing.
3
Gasket Installation—
Lubricate
the exposed surface of the gasket. Align the
outlet housing over the pipe hole making sure
that the locating collar is in the pipe hole.
4
Alignment—
Align the strap around
the pipe, insert the bolts and tighten the
nuts fnger tight. Some sizes use a U-bolt design.
5
Tighten nuts—
Alternately and
evenly tighten the nuts to the specifed bolt
torque.

FIGS. 7045 & 7046—SPECIFIED BOLT TORQUE
Specifed bolt torque is for the oval neck track bolts and U-bolts
used on the Gruvlok®Clamp-T’s. The
nuts must be tightened alternately and evenly until fully tightened. Caution: Use of an impact wrench is
not recommended because the torque output can vary signifcantly due to many variables including air
pressure, battery strength and operational variations.
CAUTION:
Proper torquing of the bolts or U-bolts is required to obtain the specifed performance.
Overtorquing the bolts or U-bolts may result in damage to the bolt, U-bolt and/or casting which could
result in lower pressure retention capabilities, lower bend load capabilities, pipe joint leakage and pipe
joint separation.
