35、tructions.7.2 Recommended Joining Procedures7.2.1 Cutting DuctCut duct square with a hand saw, power saw, orrotary cutter. Remove the burrs left by sawing andthe ridges left by the rotary cutter with a knife or file.Break all sharp edges on the OD and ID of the cutwith a knife, file, or other beveli

36、ng tool to preventpossible damage to hands during handling and toprevent damage to cable coverings during subsequentcable pulls. Additionally, if the burrs and ridges arenot removed, an inferior joint may result.7.2.2 Cleaning Joint SurfacesSurfaces to be joined should be clean and free fromdirt, fo

37、reign materials and moisture. Clean the out-side surface of the duct spigot (for the depth of thesocket), and the inside surface of the socket with aclean dry cloth.7.2.3 Solvent Cement Jointsa) Selection of Solvent Cement Use solvent cement specified by the manufac-turer of the PVC raceway.b) Preca

38、utions for Handling Cement The solvents used in these cements are flam-mable. Their fumes can be harmful if adequateventilation is not provided. Use forced ventilation systems when cement-ing joints or fittings in confined spaces such asunventilated underground vaults or in small,enclosed areas. Do

39、not expose cements open flames, exposedheating elements, or sparks. Dont smoke whensolvent cementing joints. READ AND OBSERVE THE WARNINGSAND CAUTIONS CLEARLY STATED ON THELABELS OF SOLVENT CEMENT CONTAIN-ERS AND THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATASHEETS (MSDS).c) Brush SelectionApply cements with a natural br

40、istle or nylon brushor applicator of appropriate size to easily and rapidlycoat the surfaces to be joined. As a guide, use a brushwidth at least half the nominal duct size.d) Applying Cement and Joining Solvent cements are fast drying and should beapplied as quickly as possible consistent withgood w

41、orkmanship.Figure 10. Cutting Duct Apply a heavy, even coating of cement to theduct spigot outer surface, equal to the length ofthe duct socket. Immediately, while the spigot surface is stillwet with cement, insert the duct spigot with aslight twisting motion into the socket until itbottoms home at

42、the socket shoulder. Do nottwist or turn the duct after it has bottomed onthe shoulder. The slight twisting motion usedduring insertion helps to distribute the cementevenly, but if twisted after bottoming, the initialbond could be impaired. Assembly of a cemented joint should be com-pleted within 15

43、 seconds after application ofcement. Initial bonding begins immediatelywhen the cement coated joint surfaces are inposition. If there is any sign of drying of the cementsurfaces prior to assembly, recoat the duct spigotwith a fresh coat of cement and immediatelyinsert the duct spigot into the socket

44、 with atwisting motion. After assembly, wipe excess cement from theduct at the end of the socket, both for goodwork-manship and to prevent excessive cementfrom drip-ping on and possibly weakening thelower ducts. Cure times are affected by temperature andhumidity conditions. Consult manufacturersinst

45、ructions for specific recommendations.7.2.4 Threaded JointsScrew the mating threaded parts together, hand tight,and then tighten one additional turn using strapwrenches. If the joint is intended to be taken apartand reassembled several times during its service life,wrap the male threads with one lay

46、er of pipe threadtape. This allows easy disassembly and prevents pos-sible thread galling when tightened. (For RTRC dou-ble lead threads, refer to Annex D.)7.2.5 Heat Fusion JointsMake heat fusion joints in accordance with manufac-turers recommendations.7.2.6 Heat Shrink Jointsa) Place the sleeve ov

47、er the sections being joined.Keep the sleeve centered over the joint.b) Using a hot air heat source and working from oneend of the joint, move the heat source around thesleeve and towards the opposite end. Avoid concen-trating the heat in one spot. Apply heat until sleeveshrinks snugly around joint

48、assembly.c) The coupling has left and right hand threads so itcan thread onto both duct ends simultaneously. Notethe orientation of the thread pattern. Apply a smallamount of cable lubricant to the inside of the cou-pling. It is useful to make the thread cutting easier.d) Bring both ends of the duct

49、 into the coupling.Forcing the duct ends toward one another, begin torotate the coupling. Use wrenches to complete instal-lation. Do not overtighten. It will result in a signifi-cant reduction of the pull-out resistance.e.) Be certain that the coupling is threading ontoboth ends of the duct. Both ends should meet in thecenter of the coupling. This is necessary to obtainthe maximum resistance to pull out. If the couplingis not threading on equally, unscrew and restart thethreading operation.7.2.7 Adhesive Joints-See Annex C.7.2.8 Gasketed JointsBecause of the varie
