Installation Instructions for Series 2500, 4 inch through 12 inch

1. The Series 2500 is designed for restraining AWWA C900 PVC pipe to molded or fabricated fittings. It has a split, serrated restraint ring on the spigot and a split non-serrated ring on the fitting.
   

2. Assemble the fitting per the fitting manufacturer’s instructions.
   

3. Install both halves of the split non-serrated bell ring on the fitting behind the gasket hump. Install the side bolts and tighten each to 110 ft.-lbs. (60 ft.-lbs. on 4” and 6”.)
   

4. Slide the bell ring toward the gasket hump so that it fits snugly behind the gasket hump.

5. Remove the side bolts from the serrated restraint ring. Use the tie bolts to determine the proper location of the restraint ring on spigot. Allow enough room on tie bolt to fully engage the nuts.

6. Install both halves of the restraint ring at the proper location, tapping each half into place. Make sure that the complete ID of the ring is touching the pipe before installing the side bolts. Tighten the side bolts evenly to 110 ft.-lbs. (60 ft.- lbs. on 4” and 6”.)
   

7. Place nuts on the tie bolts and tighten until they are snug. Allow enough room on the tie bolt to fully engage the nut with several threads showing. Do not tighten these bolts enough to force the spigot further into the bell of the fitting
   

Installation Instructions for Series 2500, 14 inch through 48 inch

1. Slide the spigot restraint onto the end of the pipe with the lip or the wording “This Side Toward Bell” facing the end of the pipe. Do not tighten the restraint wedges at this time.

2. Install the backup ring on the fitting bell behind the gasket race as shown. Install the clamp bolts and tighten to 50 ft-lbs. Keeping an equal gap on both sides.

3. Assemble the joint according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Install the thrust bolts. Thread a nut onto each bolt until there are several threads showing.

5. Pull the restraint ring away from the joint until the slack is removed from the thrust bolts. Hand tighten the actuating screws on the restraint ring until all wedges are touching the pipe. Continue tightening the screws in an alternating manner until the torque limiting heads twist off. Tighten thrust bolts until evenly snug being careful not to pull the spigot further into the bell.
