Mechanical junction of cast iron pipes

Pretreatment When connecting pipes, clean the pipe insert, the inner surface of the socket, the rubber ring,
etc to remove foreign substances such as dusts, etc.

Junction Insert the pipe until the end of the insert reaches the bottom of the socket. Proceed the
rubber ring which was mounted near the end of the insert in advance in such a way that no
twist is generated between the insert and the socket. Hold the rubber ring with the pusher
ring and tighten it evenly all around the pipe with bolts and nuts to make the rubber ring
appressed to the pipe.

Junction a) For water supply

In advance, mount a rubber ring correctly on the projecting area inside of the socket in such a
way that the valve section of the rubber ring is positioned backward. Proceed the insert until the
indication line equipped on the insert reaches the end of the socket using a fork, jack, etc.

b)For drainage

Apply lubricants inside of the socket. Mount a rubber gasket to the specified position and apply
lubricants. Apply lubricants also outside of the insert and insert the pipe to the end securely.

Soldering junction of lead pipes

Enlarge the pipe socket to the outer diameter of the pipe and chamfer it. Insert a pipe
into the enlarged section of the pipe in such a way that no gap is generated. Polish the
outer surface of the pipe to be soldered. Apply solder paste on the whole surface. Then,
Junction by build up dissolved solder on the junction section. Wipe and add solder to form a
build-up solder spherical shape evenly all around the pipe. Apply solder paste on it in order not to cool
down rapidly. Pour cool water to remove stains.

Plastan junction of lead pipes

Enlarge the pipe socket to the outer diameter of the pipe and chamfer it. Prepare an
Plastan junction insert according to the angle of the enlarged section of the pipe. Polish the inside of the
enlarged pipe. Apply Neo-tarnish to the area to which the inserted pipe end touches in a
belt-shape. Then, also polish the pipe end to be inserted. Apply small amount of cream
plastan except to the tip of the pipe and insert the pipe. Fix the end of the pipe to evade
movement. Heat the peripherals of the junction point rapidly and evenly.

When the cream plastan melts and turns into silver, put a wire plastan to the junction
section to absorb it. When the plastan heaps on the junction surface, cool it with water.
