Step 2
Completely expose the pipe and clean
the surface for a distance equal to the
length of the band plus approx. 200 mm
each side.
Ensure all loose flakes of paint and rust
are removed. Old paint and pipe-wrap
can be retained if not forming a hard
edge which the rubber mat could not
closely follow and seal completely along.
Step 3
Spread the lubricant across the whole
surface of the rubber mat on each Tap-
ping band segment. A liberal amount
ensures adequate slip between the mat
and the pipe surface, and will not at all
degrade the sealing properties of the
band. Spread lubricant on the upper
side of the feathered edge of each mat to
promote good overlap slip.
Step 4
Place the segments in sequence start-
ing at the top of the pipe and evenly
distributing the weight on either side.
Ensure that the alignment spikes are
correctly interleaved with the studs and
the studs are in their correct slots.
