28Coax Coupling Procedure
- Do Not strip secondary back
- Use the Coax faceplate to couple these fittings
- (must be ordered separately)
- Grease insert and engage pipe into the coax
- coupling
- Secure coupling to pipe with the FlexWorks
- coupling machine
- Replace the dust cap after coupling
29 Coax Coupling Procedure
- Coax cut pipe - Do Not strip secondary
- Measure 1 1/8 from end of pipe and mark it
30Coax Coupling Procedure
- Grease coupling insert, place coupling on
faceplate and hand tighten swage to fitting
31Coax Coupling Procedure
- Measure 1 1/8 from end of pipe and mark
- Guide pipe over shoulder and down into coupling
- Place dial to down position
- Upon completion, remove coupled section from
machine - Inspect pipe coupling
- Reinstall supplied dust cap
32Coax Coupling Procedure
- Replace dust cap after coupling
33Coax Coupling Procedure
- Included with each reel or box
- of pipe
- Completely fill out and return to
- OPW-FCS for each job
34Swivel Coupling Procedure
- Cut outer jacket with FlexWorks jacket cutter
- Use grease on coupling insert
- Insert end of pipe into swivel coupling
- Secure coupling to pipe with FlexWorks
coupling machine
35Swivel Coupling Procedure
- Cut outer jacket with OPW-FCSs jacket cutter
- (use swivel setting / the hole closest to the
handle)
36Swivel Coupling Procedure
- Use grease inside the coupling insert
37Swivel Coupling Procedure
- Place swivel coupling on coupling machine
38Swivel Coupling Procedure
- Insert FlexWorks Pipe Into Swivel Coupling
39Swivel Coupling Procedure
- Inspect both inside and outside of the swaged
on - coupling
40Proper / Improper Installationof the Swivel
Coupling
41Installing Coupled Pipe
Coax Fittings No test boots required
Swivel Fittings Installed test boots prior to
connections being made
Barbed Fittings Installed test boots prior to
connections being made
42Installing Coupled Pipe (Coax)
- Hand tighten couplings to adapters or fittings
- No threads should be visible from the adapters
or fittings
- The use of a plumbers strap wrench is
authorized to - help tighten the nut over the O Rings
- DO NOT USE pipe wrench to tighten
43Installing Coupled Pipe (Swivel)
- Then 1/4 turn is maximum torque
44Testing the Lines (Primary Secondary)
- Pressurize line up to 60 psi (Do not
exceed 60 psi)
- Install 0 to 60 psi gauge in shear valve
test port
- After 30 minutes, pressurize the secondary
to 5 psi - (Do not exceed 10 psi)
45Testing the Lines (Primary Secondary)
- Apply soap bubbles to all connections
- Leave pressure on primary secondary

mounting and - center hole alignments
-
53FEB Choosing A Hole Saw
- Use the table for each FEB to choose the
correct hole saw - Correct hole saw must be used

- Make sure not to overtighten and
- separate studs from internal ring.
- Allow for even compression
