Grooved Coupling Connection - Netafim SANDSTORM Installation Manual

Grooved coupling connection

All the main filtration system parts are connected with grooved couplings.
To connect a grooved coupling:
a. Slide the rubber gasket onto the
end of one of the pipes to be
connected.
Apply a dedicated lubricant
or liquid soap to the coupling
rubber gasket to facilitate
insertion.
b. Place the end of the other
pipe to be connected so that
it touches the end of the first
pipe, and slide the rubber gasket
over the end of the second pipe.
The rubber gasket should cover
the end of both pipes equally,
leaving the groove of each pipe
exposed.
c. Place the two housing elements
around the rubber gasket. Make
sure the rims of the housing
elements are inserted into the
grooves all around both pipes.
d. Put the bolts and nuts in place
and close them to a tight fit, but
do not fasten them yet.
e. When you are satisfied that the
connected parts are properly
positioned and the connections
are properly aligned, fasten the
two nuts alternately until the
coupling is evenly tightened
around both pipes.
