The following are general usage instructions for pull-ring connections with U-shaped seals.
This is the primary style of connection used with Conair hard pipe kits.
1 Pull the U-shaped seal around one of the pipe flanges. The seal can be
stretched to fit, but avoid overstretching.
2 Make sure that the “tooth” side of the U-shaped seal will face the pipe section
that will be connected to this one.
3 Place the next section (counter-pipe) into position and push one half of the
clamping ring onto the pipe flange. Make sure that the pipes are aligned square-
ly and that the seals are not displaced.
4 Completely separate the two sections of the pull ring to be used.
5 Connect the two sections of the pull ring around the flange, loosely tighten
using the bolts using your fingers. Make sure that the pull ring is alligned
around the entire flange. Make sure that the u-shaped seal is aligned and not pro-
truding from the pull ring in any location.
6 Tighten, alternating from one bolt to the other, the bolts to clamp the pull
ring around the flange. Use a 6 mm hexagon screwdriver and tighten the bolt to
a maximum torque of 25 Nm.
