2. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothings, gloves, necklaces, rings, bracelets or other
jewelleries which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situation.
5. Insert the pipe into the Threading Machine so that the cutting mark is located about 12 inches to
the front of the speed chuck jaws.
6. Insert workpieces less than 2 feet long from the front of the machine. Insert longer pipes through
either end so that the longer section extends out beyond the rear of the Threading Machine.
7. To avoid equipment tip-over, position the pipe supports under workpiece.
8. Tighten the rear centering devise around the pipe by using a counter clockwise rotation of the
handwheel at the rear of the Threading Machine. This prevents movement of the pipe that can
result in poor thread quality.
9. Secure the pipe by using repeated and forceful counterclockwise spins of the speed chuck
handwheel at the front of the Threading Machine. This action “hammers” the jaws tightly around
the pipe.
SMAW Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or stick welding is a process which melts and joins metals by heating
them with an arc between a coated metal electrode and the carbon steel pipe:-
1. Wear welding mask /welding goggle and welding glove.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far way from operator as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to pipe as close to the weld as possible.
6. Bevel the pipe end into 30 Degree by using grinding tools. And also remove oxidation and mill scale.
7. Align the pipe/fitting in jointing position with 1.5mm gap between 2 elements.
8. Set-up the welding machine with proper amp and select an electrode.
9. Electrode angle should be 75 - 80 according to welding position.
10. The electrode outer coating, i.e. flux, assists in creating the arc and provides the shielding gas and
slag covering to protect the weld from contamination.
11. The electrode core provides most of the weld filler metal.
12. Weld the joint by moving electrode along the pipe end bevel at the correct speed, the metal
deposits in a uniform layer will seal the joint (bead).
Leakage testing
Pneumatic leakage testing shall be conducted by welder prior soil backfilling for MDPE pipe and cement
patching for embedded carbon steel pipe.
1. Testing pressure is determined by 1.5x of operating pressure or minimum 5 psig.
2. Testing shall be witnessed by main contractor / consultant.
3. Testing record must be documented and endorsed by main contractor / consultant.

Coring works
To core floor slab / beam by coring machine to allow pipeline to be installed through.
1. Prior to carrying out coring works, LWG shall discuss and verify coring position and obtain permit
from main contractor and consultant.
2. Mark core position and fit/mount the coring machine in position by using wall plug.
3. LWG shall equip the coring machine with proper size of core bit and provide current supply.
4. Switch on the coring machine and spray water on the core hole during process.
5. Turn off coring machine after bit core is through the slab/beam.
6. Dismantle the wall plug and clean the coring site.
