Check & Lubricate Gasket Check gasket to be sure it is compatible for the intended service. Apply a thin coating of Gruvlok lubricant to outside and sealing lips of the gasket. Be careful that foreign particles do not adhere to lubricated surfaces. 2. Gasket Installation Slip the gasket over the pipe end making sure the gasket lip does not overhang the pipe end.On couplings 10″ and larger it may be easier to turn the gasket inside out then lubricate and slide the gasket over the pipe end as shown. 3. AlignmentAfter aligning the two pipe ends, pull the gasket into position centering it between the grooves on each pipe. Gasket should not extend into the groove on either pipe. On couplings 10″ and larger, flip or roll the gasket into centered position. 4. Housings Place the coupling housing halves over the gasket making sure the housing keys engage the grooves. Insert bolts and turn nuts finger tight. 5. Tighten Nuts Tighten the nuts alternately and equally to the specified bolt torque.* The housing bolt pads must make metal- to-metal contact. CAUTION: Uneven tightening may cause the gasket to pinch. 6. Assembly is complete Visually inspect the pipe joint to assure the coupling keys are fully engaged in the pipe grooves and the bolt pads are in firm even metal- to-metal contact on both sides of the coupling. CAUTION: Proper torquing of coupling bolts is required to obtain specified performance. Over torquing the bolts may result in damage to the bolt and/or casting which could result in pipe joint separation. Under torquing the bolts may result in lower pressure retention capabilities, lower bend load capabilities, joint leakage and pipe joint separation. Pipe joint separation may result in significant property damage and serious injury. CAUTION: Use of an impact wrench is not recommended because the torque output can vary significantly due to many variables including air pressure supply, battery strength and operational variations. * Refer to page 26 with bolt torque table APFH-4.12

Apply a thin coating of Gruvlok lubricant to outside and sealing lips of the gasket. Some applications require lubrication of the entire gasket surface. Be careful that foreign particles do not adhere to lubricated surfaces. 2. Gasket Installation Slip the gasket over the pipe end making sure the gasket lip does not overhang the pipe end.On couplings 10″ and larger it may be easier to turn the gasket inside out then lubricate and slide the gasket over the pipe end as shown. 3. AlignmentAfter aligning the two pipe ends, pull the gasket into position centering it between the grooves on each pipe. Gasket should not extend into the groove on either pipe. On couplings 10″ and larger, flip or roll the gasket into centered position. 4. Housings Remove one nut and bolt and loosen the other nut. Place one housing over the gasket, making sure the housing keys fit into the pipe grooves. Swing the other housing over the gasket and into the grooves on both pipes, making sure the tongue and recess of each housing is properly mated. Reinsert the bolt and run-up both nuts finger tight. 5. Tighten Nuts Securely tighten nuts alternately and equally to the specified bolt torque*, keeping the gaps at the bolt pads evenly spaced. CAUTION: Uneven tightening may cause the gasket to pinch. Gasket should not be visible between segments after bolts are tightened. 6. Assembly is complete Visually inspect the pipe joint to assure the coupling keys are fully engaged in the pipe grooves. The bolt pads are to have equal gaps on each side of the coupling. CAUTION: Proper torquing of coupling bolts is required to obtain specified performance. Over torquing the bolts may result in damage to the bolt and/or casting which could result in pipe joint separation. Under torquing the bolts may result in lower pressure retention capabilities, lower bend load capabilities, joint leakage and pipe joint separation. Pipe joint separation may result in significant property damage and serious injury. CAUTION: Use of an impact wrench is not recommended because the torque output can vary significantly due to many variables including air pressure supply, battery strength and operational variations. * Refer to page 26 with bolt torque table. NOTE: Sizes 16″ and larger are cast in multiple segments. To install the larger sizes align the tongue and pocket of the couplings appropriately and tighten the nuts alternately to the specified bolt torque. When properly assembled there will be a small equal gap between the adjacent bolt pads. APFH-4.12

ANVIL® PIPE FITTERS HANDBOOK 8GRUVLOK® INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY Figure 7011 Standard Coupling 1 Inspect the pipe ends making sure the criteria, in the Gruvlok Large Diameter Pipe Roll and Cut Groove Specifications, are met. 2 Turn the gasket inside out and slide the gasket completely over one of the pipe ends. Turning the gasket inside out will reduce the stretching necess ary to put the gasket into po sition. Ideally, approximately 75% of the pipe’s gasket-sealing surface, (Dimension A) should be visible when the gasket is in proper position. This will aid in step 4. 3 Lubricate the gasket sealing lips. The use of Gruvlok lubricants ensures compatibility between the lubricant and the gasket. 4 Pull the two pipes into contact aligning the pipe ends.CAUTION: Be careful not to pinch fingers during this step. Working your way around the circumference of the pipe, flip the gasket toward the pipe end so that the proper side is facing out. The end of this procedure will result in the gasket snapping into place. Position the gasket centrally between the grooves of the two pipe ends. 5 Lubricate the exterior surface of the gasket. This helps prevent pinching of the gasket during assembly. 6 Secure the housings about the pipes making sure the coupling keys are engaged in the pipe end grooves. Hint: For horizontal assembly, place hous ing segment on top of the pipe to support the weight of the housing segment. Secure the adjacent housing with an oval neck track bolt and heavy hex nut and then rotate the secured housings, again balancing the weight of the housings on the top of the pipe. Continue this procedure for all segments. APFH-12.11
