Crowbar: DN60 to 125

Protect the socket with a piece of hard wood.

Sockets: DN80 to 300 - Insertion machine

Recommended solution to assemble fittings.

Mechanical winches: DN150 and over

Practical solution when access is difficult.
Use one or more winches depending on the DN.

Mechanical winches: DN500 to 2000

DN 500 to 1200: 3 TIRFOR 532 winches at 120°, 3 shackles and 6 wire ropes.
DN 1400 to 1800: 3 TIRFOR 532 winches at 120°, 6 wire ropes, 6 shackles, 3 pulley blocks.

Ratchet winch: DN80 and over

REMA, PUL-LIFT YALE type ratchet winch with textile straps with looped ends.

Cutting pipes

Check the outer diameter. Before cutting, use a circumference tape to check that the OD measured is less than OD + 1 mm.

DN ≤ 300: preferably, cut at a distance of less than 4 m from the pipe spigot.
DN > 300: preferably, cut the calibrated pipes specified in the order and identified by metal grey painted rings on the socket edges.

Mark

Mark the cutting plane perpendicular to the pipe axis.

Cut

• For DN 60 to 700: use a cut off machine, for example.

• For DN 800 to 2000: use a pneumatic cross cut saw (e.g. FEIN) which, with an adaptation, can produce the chamfer at the same time.

Fettle or chamfer

For EXPRESS mechanical joints, collar, fettle the cut edges with an angle grinder.
For STANDARD, STANDARD Vi, UNIVERSAL, etc. automatic joints redo the chamfer with an angle grinder to avoid damaging the joint.

Redo the coating

Recoat the edge exposed by the cut and the chamfer.

For the traditional black coating:

• INERTOL BS10 (1 kg : Ref. 281276 ; 5 kg : Ref 281275)

For NATURAL coating:

• EUROKOTE 438 (1 kg: Ref. 158255)

• AQUACOAT (0.75 kg : Ref. 240991)
