7. NEVER inflate the packer outside of a pipe – serious bodily injury or death may occur! 8. QuickLock is designed for and must only be used in municipal sewer, storm sewer and potable water environment. For use in potable water, a special rubber gasket is required. For all other applications, please consult Rausch prior to use.

QuickLock Operator Manual 2.3. Selecting the QuickLock Sleeve Beveled and non-beveled versions of each QuickLock sleeve are available. 2.3.1. With beveled end The beveled QuickLock sleeve improves flow, increases jetting resistances, and makes a better looking fit. It closes the gap between the QuickLock sleeve and the host pipe wall with a beveled end.
2.4.1. Setup & Inspection Check the QuickLock sleeve and rubber gasket for visible damage. Set up the QuickLock sleeve so that the lettering on the adhesive tape is upside down. 2.4.2. Lubricating the sleeve Use biodegradable lubricant.

Note: If the rubber gasket is not properly affixed, there is a risk that it might unfold and bunch up at a constricted point in the pipe without you noticing. QuickLock Operator Manual – Version 15.07.01...
The packer is usually connected to the camera or robot using a transfer bar and two ball joints. Using a camera The QuickLock system can be installed most efficiently when the packer is positioning using a camera. Push rods or other insertion apparatus can also be used. However, a camera must be used during installation.
Slide the sleeve over the end of the packer without wheels. Position the QuickLock sleeve forward so that it is flush with the front edge of the packer. 2.5.2.4. Laser alignment ...
After installation, the locking gears will be in the 11:00 or 1:00 position. If the QuickLock sleeve is positioned on the packer with the lock in the 12:00 position, the weight is balanced. This makes it easier to transport, especially in narrow pipes. It is also reduces the risk of the packer tipping over in the pipe.
The most efficient and reliable way to install a QuickLock sleeve is by pushing the packer with a camera tractor system. However, other means are possible, too: Telescopic rods or pulling the packer through the pipe.
QuickLock Operator Manual 2.5.3.2. Positioning the packer & sleeve Positioning the packer with the QuickLock sleeve over the center of the damaged area can be done by three different ways: 1) By sight Position the sleeve using only the image from the camera.
The customer might think that the sleeve is not properly set – however, this is just an optical illusion that will disappear by changing the camera head position. QuickLock Operator Manual – Version 15.07.01...
Where there is an incipient longitudinal crack, the entire length of the host pipe must be repaired because the crack will continue to the end of the pipe, regardless of the repair. 6” QuickLock sleeves cannot currently be installed in a series. QuickLock Operator Manual – Version 15.07.01...

Because of the beveled end, the diameter of the pipe is 2 to 4 mm less than with the standard method. In narrow pipes and/or if there is any deformation, it may be difficult or impossible for the packer to pass through installed sleeves with the next ones.

When there is existing root penetration, a special method can be used. This prevents the root from growing along the QuickLock sleeve and breaking through the circumferential seals. However, although this method has had positive long-term results, we cannot guarantee its success.
Apply a patch of mortar Apply a patch or mortar large enough to cover the damage area. Note: Never completely coat the rubber gasket with mortar. This would impair the compression of the circumferential seals. QuickLock Operator Manual – Version 15.07.01...
QuickLock Operator Manual 2.6.5. Repairing plastic pipes Plastic pipes (PVC) can be repaired by using QuickLock in accordance with the single and serial offset methods. However, the following issues are to be observed: In many cases, a given diameter for a plastic pipe does not refer to its ID, but rather to its OD.
QuickLock Operator Manual 2.6.6. QuickLock in non-permeable pipe systems The QuickLock sleeve is tightly sealed with the rubber gasket by means of compression. This achieves excellent sealing results. If QuickLock is used in non-permeable pipe systems or in undamaged and air tight pipes, there is a risk of excess pressure arising in the space between the two pairs of circumferential seals and the host pipe wall.
If the damaged section is larger than the width between the circumferential seals, the pipe can be repaired with the aid of a protector tube. The QuickLock system is based on compressing the circumferential seals against the inner wall of the pipe. ...
The sleeve collapses The QuickLock sleeve collapses under its own tension and that of the stretched rubber gasket. The sleeve can then be picked up on the holder head of the robot cutter and taken out of the pipe.
When the pressure is removed via the vent valve, the packer balloon deflates more quickly. This is much faster than deflation via the compressed air unit.

To use the larger of the two pipe ID, use the lower slot by pressing the spring-loaded button to open the latch. 5.2.5. Repeat for other 3 wheels All 4 sliding chassis need to be adjusted to match the QuickLock sleeve size. QuickLock Operator Manual – Version 15.07.01...
Increase the application pressure gradually, especially when repairing longitudinal cracks and fragmentation. When you notice that despite the gradually increasing pressure, the locks have stopped moving along the toothed strips, the maximum compression pressure has been reached.
