2 MECHANICAL JOINT pipe is UL Listed and FM MECHANICAL JOINT is based on the stuffing box principle and consists of a bell with a flange cast integrally with it; a cast or ductile iron gland; a rubber gasket and the necessary bolts and nuts. Its design permits considerable deflection as well as longitudinal expansion and contraction in the line. Pipe typically supplies MECHANICAL JOINT pipe without accessories. However, MJ gaskets, glands, and bolts conforming to ANSI/AWWA C111 or the purchasers specifications can be furnished upon : Pipe neither manufactures nor recommends the use of MECHANICAL JOINT retainer glands.

3 As an accommodation to our customers and con-sulting engineers we do provide retainer glands for use where specified. Any warranties for those glands sold by Pipe shall be those warranties given by the particular manufacturer of the gland involved. PIPE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONCERNING THOSE GLANDS, AND PIPE WILL ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR THEIR USE. We continue to offer other restrained JOINT products, TR FLEX Pipe and Fittings, and the FIELD LOK 350 Gasket for use with TYTON JOINT Pipe and specifiers and users believe that corrosive soils will be encountered where our products are to be installed, please refer to ANSI/AWWA C105 Polyethylene Encasement for Ductile Iron Pipe Systems for proper pro-tection / AWWA StandardsMechanical JOINT PipeANSI/AWWA C151 , Standard for Ductile Iron Pipe.

PIPE 2018 EDITIONREVISED PIPE MECHANICAL JOINT PIPET hese photographs show each of the five progressive steps in assembling MECHANICAL JOINT socket, plain end and gasket with soapy water, then slip gland and gasket over plain end. The small side of the gasket and the lip side of the gland face the 2. Insert plain end into socket. Push gasket into position with fingers, making sure it is evenly gland into position, insert bolts and tighten nuts by ordinary ratchet wrench, tighten bolts alternatively (bottom then top, and so on, all around) to a torque range of 75-90 5.
