Z-LOK Pipe to Manhole Connector Sell Sheet

1 Z LOK Cast In Boot Connector pipe TO Manhole Connector FOR SANITARY SYSTEMS The Company With ConnectionsThe Company With Connections The Z LOK pipe toManhole Connectorisa flexible connectorspecifically engineeredto produce a positivewatertight seal forpipes entering precastconcrete structures andthe structure heavier wall isdesigned to provide thehighest Z LOKCONNECTOR ismanufactured to meetor exceed therequirements set forthin ASTM C-923 titled Resilient ConnectorsBetween ReinforcedConcrete ManholeStructures, Pipes, andLaterals .Z LOK pipe to Manhole Connector The Z LOK CONNECTORis molded from an EPDM compoundengineered to conform with the requirements of section ofASTM C-923. Alternative compounds are available for unusualapplications upon special stainless steel hardware is in compliance with section , Mechanical Devices of ASTM C-923 and ADVANTAGESThe Z LOK Connector assures a positive watertight connection andprovides up to 25 of omnidirectional deflection and " of vertical orho rizontal movement without loss of seal, providing greater flexibility inthe design and installation of pipelines and structures.

2 These designfeatures of the Z LOK Connector prevent infiltration due to shearcaused by settlement or ground inner rubber O-ring design eliminates rubber wrinkling,compensates for pipe irregularity and wall thickness insuring awatertight unique bi-directional design, permits the Z LOK Connector take-down clamp to be fastened from either the inside or outside of thestructure. Once fastened, immediate backfilling is possible enhancingpr oject safety and overcomes the normal problems encountered withwater, running sand and other unstable trench casting the Z LOK Connector into the structure, making it anintegral part of the wall, 50% of the opportunity for infiltration STANDARD The Z LOK CONNECTORSee following chart:MATERIALPRODUCT REFERENCESA.)

4 , Tullytown, PA, or approved design of the Connector shall provide a flexible, watertight seal between the pipeand concrete structure. The Connector shall assure that a seal is made between:(1) The Connector and the structure wall by casting the connectorintegrally with the structure wall during the manufacturing process in a mannerthat it will not pull out during pipe coupling.(2) The seal between the Connector and the pipe shall be made by compressingthe Connector against the outside circumference of the pipe by means of astainless steel take-down Connector shall be made from materials that conform to the physical andchemicalrequirements outlined in Section 4, Materials and Manufacture ofASTM C-923 Standard Specification for Resilient connectors BetweenReinforced Concrete Manhole Structures, Pipes, and Laterals , and the overalldesign will meet or exceed Section 7, Test Methods and Requirements of Connector shall be sized specifically for the type of pipe being used and shallbe installed in accordance with the recommendations of the INSTRUCTIONSWARNING:To ensure the Z-LOK Connectorremains a flexiblewatertight Connector , it is A LOK Products, Inc.
