Installing the pipe plug
1. Clean any debris from the pipe plug and inspect it for any damage or deformation.
Replace the pipe plug if any defects or wear are found.
2. Apply new sealant to the leading 3 to 4 threads of the pipe plug.
Note: Itron recommends RectorSeal #5 sealant.
3. Using a 3/16" hand-driven Allen wrench, begin tightening the pipe plug into the threads,
using care not to cross-thread or remove the sealant during the process.
4. Tighten the pipe plug. Do not exceed 50 inch-pounds torque (5.6 Newton Meters).
5. Leak test following your utility's leak test procedure.
