clean and prepare the pipe or area where the cable will be
installed.
1. Verify that major construction is complete.
• Clean the bottom and sides of the pipe where the
cable will be installed to remove any residual waste or
contamination.
• If the cable will be placed in drip trays, make sure to
wipe the surface of the drip tray and remove any liquids
or debris.
• For sumps, containment trenches, and subfloor
applications, install TraceTek hold-down clips. For
TraceTek TT1100-OHP series sensing cables, use 1/2-
inch (13 mm) 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.
check each length of sensing cable before installation.
• To ensure that each length of sensing cable is intact and
free of contamination, follow the Sensing Cable Test
Procedure. Do not use damaged or contaminated sensing
cable.
observe proper precautions when handling sensing cables.
• Observe the do’s and don’ts under “General Notes” on
page 1 of these instructions; take care to avoid damaging
or contaminating sensing cable.
