1 For quick sizing of Link-Seal Modular contractors are no equals! Made in and sizing charts updated modular seals are considered to bethe premier method for permanently sealing pipesof any size passing through walls, floors and ceil-ings. In fact, any cylindrical object may be quickly,easily and permanently sealed, as they passthrough barriers, by the patented Link-Seal modularseal iron, concrete,metal as well as plastic pipesmay be hydrostatically sealedwithin walls to hold up to 20 psig(40 feet of static head).Electrical or telecommunicationscable may be sealed within conduit as they entervaults or manholes. The annular space betweencarrier pipes passing through casings may also besealed against the entry of water, soil or a wide variety of hardware/elastomer com-binations, Link-Seal modular seals are easily con-figured to achieve the best possible match for serv-ice conditions encountered.

4 A-Link-Seal modular sealsmay allow angular pipe move-ment or misalignment depend-ing on the ratio of annular spaceof the penetration to theexpanded range of the Link-Seal model sized for the pene-tration. Please call PSI for ) Q -Is it necessary to useWS or CS sleeves wheninstalling Link-Seal modularseals?A-WS model steel and CSmodel plastic sleeves are spe-cially designed for use withLink-Seal modular seals. Wheninstalled with Link-Seal modularseals these sleeves provide thebest possible assurance of aquality wall penetration ) Q -Sometimes wheninstalling a belt of Link-Sealmodular seals, it hangs looseon the pipe even though all mysizing calculations are does it appear that I havetoo many links?A-Link-Seal modular seals arebasically sized to fit the opening,not the pipe. Use the assem-blies suggested by the charts orcalculation.

5 It may not look right,but it will ) Q -Can Link-Seal modularseals be used for penetrationswhere the pipe is off-center tothe opening?A-Centering is very PSI for more ) Q -Is it necessary to use riserclamps, pipe saddles and hang-er supports with Link-Seal mod-ular seals?A-Designed as a penetrationseaL, Link-Seal modular sealsare not intended to be a structur-al support. Standard pipe hangerpractice should always ) Q -What tools are required toinstall Link-Seal modular seals?A-A socket or offset wrenchwith 5/16 , 1/2 , 3/8 , 9/16 , 3/4 & 1-3/16 sockets will handle allinstallations. A low speed (450 RPM or less) power tool is sug-gested for multiple installations toincrease efficiency. (see nextquestion)8) Q -Can I use power toolswhen installing Link-Seal modu-lar seals with 316 stainless steelbolts?A-No, please see suggested installation ) Q -Can Link-Seal modularseals be used with manholevault installed thimbles, notsleeves?

6 A-No, only if the area creates apenetration cylinder, such thatthe axis of the cylinder is parallelto the axis of the pipe goingthrough to Order:Using the Provided sizing Charts1. Determine Link-Seal modular seal model to beused (See Link-Seal Selection Guide or EngineeringManual for technical information).2. Locate charts on pages 6 through 9 that corre-sponds to the type and size pipe being Verify that your pipe matches the actualoutside diameter shown on the To order Link-Seal modular seals choose Link-Seal modular seal size (from SIZE column),Link-Seal modular seal model (C, S-316, L, LS-316, O, OS-316, T or FD/FS) and indicatenumber of links required per seal (from LINKSPER SEAL column).[Example: LS-575-C-10]5. To order corresponding Century-Line sleevesindicate model number (from MODEL NUMBER column), length of sleeve and quantity required.
