Page 2 LATERAL PIPE ASSEMBLY & PREPARATION Certa-Set 3" Lateral Pipe Assembly General Notes: • Certa-Set pipe is intended for pressure pipe applications involving irrigation water systems. Please refer to the Field Layout Best Practices for field options and potential irrigation ideas.
Page 3 6. Sprinkler risers: ¾" Pre-assembled Certa-Set Riser or ½" Aluminum Assembled Riser A. ¾" Pre-assembled Certa-Set Risers 1. Insert the flanged O-ring into the riser. The larger ridge faces the riser cap; the smaller ridge faces the sled coupling.
Page 4 B. ½" Aluminum Assembled Riser (manufactured by others) 1. The ½ riser consists of the following pieces: A ½" riser cap, chevron gasket and ½" assembled riser. Note: NAPCO does not manufacture or warranty ½" risers beyond the riser cap. Components to field assemble ½"...
Page 5 When using a riser that is higher than the stated dimensions, it is recommended that stakes be utilized to stabilize the system. 7. Load the assembled 3" Certa-Set piping onto the trailer to transport to the field. Please refer to the Lateral Field Installation section for additional information.
Page 6 LATERAL FIELD INSTALLATION Field Installation of Certa-Set 3" Lateral Pipe 1. Once Certa-Set Lateral Pipe is assembled and loaded on to a flatbed trailer, it is ready to transport to the field for final installation. 2. Before the pipe is removed from the flatbed trailer, inspect...

Page 8 Adjust tractor speed to match the speed of pipe assembly. 9. Connect lateral line to the rest of the system. (See the Field Layout and Main Line Pipe Assembly and Installation sections). Certa-Set pipe entirely installed Certa-Set pipe entirely installed in an “H”...
Page 9 5. When the Certa-Set CLIC spline is correctly inserted, you should be able to see the white stripe on the spline when looking into the coupling.
Page 10 MAIN LINE PIPE ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION Certa-Set Main Line Pipe Assembly & Installation General Notes: • Certa-Set main line pipe is intended for pressure pipe applications involving irrigation systems. Please refer to the Field Layout Planning Guide for field options and potential irrigation ideas.
Page 11 3. Lubricate the spigot end of the pipe. Make sure it is clean and free of debris. Pipe with debris Lubricate spigot Lubricate spigot 4. Start at one end of the pipeline and assemble the pipe against a firm stop, such as lumber or a tractor tire. Tractor tire Backhoe 5.
Page 12 Bar and block Bar and block Backhoe with a strap Strap Notes: If digging bars are used for leverage, protect the pipe with at minimum, a 2" x 4" block in good condition. Never “hammer” on pipe that does not seat. Check alignment, then apply pressure with a digging bar again. In difficult situations where pipe is properly lubricated and aligned, use one digging bar to maintain pressure and a second bar to apply additional pressure.
Page 13 Notes: 1. The Certa-Set main line piping and couplings can be disassembled and reused. See Main Line Disassembly. 2. Tapped couplings can be easily stripped if threads are not aligned properly. Take precautionary steps to prevent cross threading.

Page 15 5. Prior to using the AIM Machine, pull each pipeline with a tractor and strap to break it free from any accumulated silt and entwined foliage. Silt and foliage surrounding Connecting to tractor to sled coupling break pipe free for removal 6.
Page 16 9. Begin pulling the pipe with BOTH DRIVE LEVERS pointing to the outboard direction. 10. When the first sled coupling reaches the center of the machine, bump the outboard drive lever inboard to relieve the tensile pressure off of the coupling. The machine operator will then remove the spline and place it in a bucket. 11.
