1- Check the chamfer at the spigot end, and mark the
heat-shrink collar, dividing it into three thirds.
2- Slide the collar behind the socket.
3- Socket the pipe and inspect the joint. Use a cloth
to clean the area to be protected. Use abrasive paper to key
an area of the polyethylene equivalent to the width of the
collar, on spigot and socket.
4- Use a gas burner to warm the keyed polyethylene
area. Warm the area but do not allow the temperature to
exceed 60°C.
5- Remove the protective sheet inside the collar.
Center the collar on the joint to be protected, with one
third over the socket.
6- Using a gas burner (set to low heat), heat-shrink
the collar by sweeping the flame across its entire surface
several times, starting at the large-diameter end of the
socket.
7- The procedure is complete when adhesive can be
seen overlapping slightly on each side of the
sleeve.
