These instructions apply to this sleeve when used with
Mueller mechanical joint cut-in valve.
Use this Gasket on the spigot (opposite) end of sleeve –
Set other side of tag.
Take one gasket from cut-in valve – Use it in this end.
Instructions below.
This sleeve and valve fit two diameters of cast iron
pipe, using two diameters of End Gaskets. Be sure
End Gaskets with Cut-in Valve are right for the outside
diameter of your existing piping or main. See information
in end of valve.
Determine location of valve on main by dimen. “A” in
table on other side of tag. Measure and mark off
dimension “L” from the table and clean pipe thoroughly
as shown. This can be done best before cutting the
main. First shut off main, then cut off “L” length of pipe
(as shown in table) out of the main. Slide the Pipe Glands
and End Gaskets, taken from Valve, over each end of
cut main. Back Stop Screw in sleeve out 3/4” and slide
sleeve over main. Slide a Pipe Gland and a duck-tipped,
rubber End Gasket over sleeve spigot. Position valve on
end of main. Slide sleeve spigot in end of valve. Screw
stop screw into sleeve with a wrench until tight. Position
all three end gaskets and pipe glands. Gaskets wetted
with a soapy water solution install more easily. Install
all gland bolts and with wrench, tighten alternately
(180° apart) until all are evenly tight. 90ft. lbs. max.
torque. Open cut-in valve. Installation is complete.
