4. Introduction
FARATEC Bell & Spigot adhesive bonded pipe is designed for diameter25-800 mm. The pipes
are designed for biaxial system and covers pressure from 1-32 bar. These kinds of pipes are
suitable for aboveground and also underground system without trust blocks.
All Pipes will be produced with one female side (bell) and one male side (spigot) with factory
spigot calibration
All Fittings will be with only female side (bell)
Adaptors will be with both sides as female (bell)

5. Installation procedure
x

The Bell & Spigot pipes has standard wooden package from factory for pipe sizes below 600
mm. It is recommended to use this wooden package for loading, unloading or transportation
and also keep pipes in package while storing.
For pipe sizes above 600mm handling should be done according to Farassans handling &
installation instruction.

Before installation take out pipe one by one and place them along the trench or pipe rack side.
It should be considered to keep these pipes in clean and dry area to avoid extra cleaning and
drying at the bell or spigot side.
Note: safety shall be always considered, so wearing safety glasses, gloves and dust mask is
required.

Bell and spigot area which will have contact with glue shall be grinded properly.

Die Grinder with long neck is recommended for grinding inside of bell.

The spigot is grinded from factory so only refreshing surface by grinding paper is required .

Normal disc grinder is recommended for onsite calibration. For Grinding of spigot, the spigot
edge should have the same shape as bell.

Note: Before mixing adhesive bond components, make sure that bell and spigot areas are
clean; else clean those areas with Acetone and some cloths
x

Bonding paste and hardener should be mixed in a ratio specified by glue procedure.
The ratio is given as instructions on the package or technical datasheets. To obtain proper
homogen mixture use plastic/wood/steel stirrer.
Alternatives for mixing bonding paste and hardener:

Balance weight
Use balance weight and add correct amount of bonding paste and hardeners.

Scale (volume)
Use volumetric flask (beaker) and add each component to reach correct volume of each
component.

Volume
Mark two different pot according to the required volume then fill each component in each pot
up to the marked line then pour them in different (third) pot and mix them together.

Use wooden sticks or putty knife and apply glue in an even thickness of 2-3 mm to the surface
of spigot and 1-2mm inside of bell and make sure that all the area is covered with glue.
Chamfered area is the most important to get proper glue distribution.

Insert spigot pipe into the bell by only pushing and no twisting of pipe under
installation; make sure that spigot is in place, recommended to force the pipes together
by controlled use of hammer and piece of wood to protect the pipe .avoid applying
higher force than needed, high energy from hammering can damage pipe.

For larger diameter it can use come along jack and belt around pipe to pull pipe
together. By this method the force from jacks keeps the bell spigot in correct position
and there will be no need for hammering.
After joining pipes, while curing of glue, the pipes should have no movement to avoid
cracks and voids in the glued area.

6. Curing
Bonding paste has an exothermic reaction and by its releasing heat will be cured. Curing time
also depends on applied temperature to the adhesive bond.
The curing time at room temperature (25 C) is at least 24 hour. By applying heat to the joint
the curing time will be reduced. At a curing temperature of 80 C the curing time will be
approximately 6-8 hour.
