3.2.5.1 COMPONENT "TWIST-LOCK" CONNECTION PROCEDURE
DuraVent and American Metals pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock
connections. Twist-lock procedure is as
follows: four (4) indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings are
designed to slide straight in to the male ends of the adjacent pipes and fittings, by
orienting the four pipe indentations so that they match and slide into the four entry
slots on the male ends.
Push the pipe sections completely together then twist-lock one section
clockwise, approximately ¼ turn until the two sections are fully locked. The
female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside on the black pipe or
fittings. They may be located by examining inside of the female ends.
