1. Prepare the area where the sensing cable will be located.
• Verify that major construction is complete.
• Clean the area where the cable will be installed to remove
debris and sources of contamination. For techniques in
double-containment piping, consult the TraceTek
Double-Containment Installation Guide (LIT-138).
• For sumps, containment trenches, and subfloor applications,
install TraceTek hold-down clips. For TraceTek TT3000 sensing
cables, use 1/4” hold-down clips (TT-HDC-1⁄4...); for TraceTek
TT5000 series sensing cables, use 1/2 inch hold-down clips
(TT-HDC-1⁄2-NA-50).
Clean the floor surface where hold-down clips will be placed so
adhesive can work properly.
Position hold-down clips so the sensing cable will provide the
desired leak detection coverage. To best secure the cable,
alternate the direction of the hold-down clips, and install them
at intervals of no greater than 6 feet (2 m) and at every change
in direction (at sides of trench, for example).
Important: Let the adhesive dry per manufacturer’s
recommendation before proceeding with sensing-cable
installation.
• In sumps that may collect water, mount TT5000 series sensing
cable vertically to allow it to detect hydrocarbons floating on water;
prepare for this by installing hold-down clips up side of sump.
