SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR UST’S WITH METAL RISER CAPS
If you are installing the metal cap and adapter ring, screw the ring onto the 4” riser until the gasket contacts the
pipe, then use a pipe wrench to tighten it an additional 3/4 turn. Push the cable through the metal cap and cord
grip, then clamp the cap onto the ring.
At sites that require installation of a riser adaptor (Phil-Tite M/F 4X4 or equivalent) at the top of the riser, do so
following the manufacturer’s instructions. Next screw the adapter ring from the Veeder-Root kit (
P/N
312020-952)
onto the riser adaptor by hand until the gasket contacts the sealing surface. Then use a torque wrench attached to
an appropriate strap wrench (K-D Specialty tools nylon strap oil filter wrench, or equivalent) and tighten the ring to
35 - 45 ft-lbs. Loosen the cord grip nut and push the cable through the metal cap and cord grip, then clamp the
cap onto the ring (see Figure 9).
Make sure there is a minimal amount of slack between the probe and cap, then tighten the cord grip nut until the
cable is held firmly. Push the end of the cable through the field J-box cord grip, then tighten that cord grip nut as
well. Splice and seal the wires in the J-box as shown in Figure 12.
