ముఖ్యమైన: This product is specifically designed for Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) applications only. It is కాదు suitable for pressure applications. Ensure the system pressure does not exceed 4.3 PSI.
Always consult local codes and authorities prior to installation to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
సెటప్ మరియు ఇన్స్టాలేషన్
The QwikFlex Pipe Connector Kit is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps for a secure and leak-proof connection.
ఇన్స్టాలేషన్ దశలు:
- Prepare the Couplings: Tighten all bands on the QwikFlex couplings to 60 inch-pounds before installation.
- కొలత మరియు కట్: Measure the required length for your connection. QwikFlex couplings can be cut to length as needed. Ensure clean, straight cuts.
- సమలేఖనం చేసి చొప్పించండి: Align the QwikFlex couplings to determine where to cut. Insert the cut coupling into the existing pipes or fittings.
- Fasten Connections: Insert the cut coupling into the QwikFlex couplings and tighten the bands to 60 inch-pounds.
- లీక్ల కోసం పరీక్ష: After installation, thoroughly test the system for any leaks.
గమనిక: Straight and 45-degree connectors increase versatility. QwikFlex components are not intended to support other pipe or fittings; support and brace the assembly as well as the pipe and fittings they are connected to.
Do not over-flex the QwikFlex couplings, as this could cause them to kink and create an obstruction.

ఆపరేటింగ్ ప్రిన్సిపల్స్
Once properly installed, the Fernco QwikFlex Pipe Connector Kit provides a durable and flexible connection for DWV systems. Its elastomeric polyvinyl chloride (PVC) construction ensures resilience against soil conditions, and it is designed to be leak-proof and root-proof.
The flexible nature of the couplings allows for joining pipes with minor misalignments, up to 20-degree offsets, making it ideal for challenging installations where rigid fittings may not suffice.
నిర్వహణ
The Fernco QwikFlex Pipe Connector Kit is designed for long-lasting, maintenance-free performance once installed correctly.
- ఆవర్తన తనిఖీ: Periodically inspect the connections for any signs of leaks or damage, especially if the system experiences significant temperature fluctuations or ground movement.
- శుభ్రపరచడం: The exterior of the couplings can be cleaned with mild soap and water if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the PVC material.
- పర్యావరణ కారకాలు: The PVC material is unaffected by typical soil conditions, but ensure the surrounding area remains free of sharp objects or excessive external pressure that could compromise the pipe.
