Supertite™ Joint to unturned adaptors are utilised when an installer needs to attach a fitting to a pipe that has been cut and no longer has the factory machined ends. Unturned adaptors are used with both Supertite™ and rubber ring jointed pipe in underground applications. Note: Supertite™ Joint to unturned adaptors are not to be used in above ground suspended applications.
Installation Details Refer to our Working Safe information before installation.
1. Cut the end of the pipe square with a dustless or wet masonry saw. 2. Fit an O-ring to the cut pipe and roll up and down the barrel of the pipe to take the twist out of the ring. Position the ring as close as practical to the cut end of the pipe. 3. Do not use lubricant as the O-ring must roll along the pipe and not slide. 4. Position the adaptor squarely over the O-ring. 5. Using a bar and block of timber push the adaptor squarely onto the pipe. Note: To reduce wasting pipe when using fittings, use the off-cut immediately after fitting by using another unturned adaptor.
 Note: All dimensions are nominal.
