To guarantee a watertight seal, Dam Easy
®
recommends replacing the Seal before storing the barrier;
•
If there is an indication that the seal is damaged and/or is not capable of sustaining the required
air pressure when correctly installed in a suitable doorway
•
Every 12 months, whether or not the barrier has been in use in a doorway
•
Immediately after use in a doorway, when the barrier has been in contact with flood water
The Inflatable seal is critical to creating a watertight seal on the
Dam Easy
®
Flood Barrier.
The seal is attached to the Barrier at 3 quick release points;
•
2 T-Clips on either end of the seal, secured on top of each side panel of the barrier, labelled ‘A’
•
A valve in the centre of the seal, labelled ‘B’, attached by a Quick Release Fitting, accessible
from the Seal Replacement Access Panel
1 replacement seal is included in the Flood Barrier Kit, labelled ‘C’, additional replacement seals are
available for purchase online www.dameasyfloodbarriers.com
To avoid accidentally damaging the seal;
•
Store the barrier in the original packaging out of direct sunlight and extremes of temperature
•
Always place the barrier on a smooth even surface
•
Do not inflate the seal unless the barrier is secure in a doorway
•
Do not remove the replacement seal from the packaging before use
•
Do not use any tools while replacing the seal
