OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOINING GASKETED PIPE TO A FITTING:1. Attach the stationery saddle on one side of the pipe.2. Position the adjustable saddle approximately 15”(380 mm) from the end of the pipe.Attach the pipe with chain and tighten screwassembly.3. Loosen the clamp screws in the adjustablebracket and raise the saddle to the top of itstravel. Snug up the 3/8” bolts just enoughto hold the saddle in the up position.4. Using the ratchet handle, move the adjustablesaddle back on the pipe far enough to permit thefitting to be put on. Slip the fitting (without the gasket) on the end of the pipe.5. Loosen the clamp screws and lower the saddle to the fitting. Tighten the clamp screws, making sure the joinerchannel is parallel to the pipe.6. Tighten the clamp chain firmly around the fitting. Push the fitting out of the pipe so that gasket lubricant may beapplied. Apply recommended lubricant to the chamfer and gasket per the pipe manufacturer’s instructions. Reversethe ratchet pawl and join together the distance specified by pipe fitting manufacturer.0122-50341PPJ PLASTIC PIPE JOINEROPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOINING GASKETED PIPEUSING V-SHAPED SADDLES:1. Attach the stationery saddle on one side of the pipe.2. Position the adjustable saddle approximately 15” (380 mm) from the end of the pipe.Attach the pipe with chain and tighten screw assembly.3. Adjust ratchet pawls so both arrows point the same direction as each other and also the same direction of the draw.4. Draw one pipe end into the other pipe using the ratcheting device.5. Make sure the pipe is fully seated into the other pipe, then remove the tool.NOTE: The PPJ can also be used to separate gasketed pipe. To separate gasketed pipe, follow step 1 and 2, then makesure the ratchet pawl arrows are pointed outward toward the direction of separation. Use the ratcheting device to separatethe pipe.Beam must be parallel to the pipe.IMPORTANT: Keep PVC straight for the joiningprocess.REED PPJ keeps the pipes straight when install-ing PVC pipe with an interior gasket, which islocated in the bell (end of pipe with the largerdiameter). The spigot end of the pipe is insertedinto the bell. During this process it is vital to keepboth pipes aligned as the spigot is sliding into the bell. If the 2 pipes being joined are not held in alignment, the spigot can hitthe gasket and cause damage which will result in leaks. If the 2 pipes are not properly aligned, the spigot end can dislodgethe gasket and cause gasket failure.Gasket Spigot end with bevel I.D. : Inside DiameterO.D. : Outside DiameterT. : Wall ThicknessD9 : Bell Outside DiameterE. : Distance between AssemblyMark to the end of spigot.Image: constructionmentor.net1NOTE: When assembling line pipe, make sure the index marks are lined up.APPLIES TO: 04439, 04441, 04442,04444, 04446, 04447, 04448, 04449
