BACKGROUND
Proper installation of this product, for mating with a metal flange, requires the use of all the components supplied to achieve
a pressure rating equal to that of the pipe.
KIT CONTENTS:
- Two-Piece steel backing ring
- Garlock Stress-Saver XP gasket (75-80 Durometer Hardness)
®
- SAE J429 Grade 8 bolts with associated hex nut *
- Two (2) flat washers per bolt
- AquaRise CPVC socket flange
*Note – the bolt length will vary for flange size and assembly configuration. The length of bolts supplied in this kit is assuming
connection to a metal flange. For AquaRise to AquaRise flange connections, bolts should be 1/2" longer so that the bolts
extend approximately 1/4" minimum beyond the nut after final assembly.
Installers will also need a torque wrench for proper assembly.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
1. Assemble AquaRise flange to AquaRise pipe in a normal
manner with proper solvent welding procedures in
accordance with solvent cement installation procedures
detailed in the AquaRise Technical Manual.
2. Allow the joint to reach initial set before installing
remaining components of Full-Pressure Kit (refer to
AquaRise Technical Manual for recommended set times
versus temperature and size).
3. Begin kit installation by placing the backing ring over the
hub of the AquaRise flange, ensuring that the bolt holes
are aligned.
4. Slip the gasket provided between the two flanges and
bring the AquaRise and mating flanges together.
5. Insert the bolts through the matching holes of both the
flanges and backing ring. Use only the bolts supplied or
recommended above. A flat washer should be installed
beneath each nut and the bolt head.
6. When the bolts are installed, a torque wrench should be
placed over the nut (not on bolt head). Snug tighten the
nut first, which is approximately 20 ft-lb of torque.
7. Next, tighten the nuts to the specified torque values
indicated below (Table 1). A multi-step tightening
process is recommended with each step requiring the
installer to tighten the nuts in a star pattern (Figure 1).
8. Once this assembly is complete, perform a check pass
of the bolts by starting at one and going around in a
TORQUE (ft-lbs) TIGHTENING SEQUENCE

clockwise direction ensuring each nut is tightened to the
highest recommended torque level for that size.
9. Do not use the flanged connection to support the weight
of a metal system component such as a ball or butterfly
valve. Those items should be supported independently.
Notes:
1. After the piping is installed, and the solvent cement
is fully cured, the system should be pressure-tested
in accordance with local codes using water. Do not
use compressed air or gases for testing. Refer to the
AquaRise Technical Manual for further instructions on
testing.
2. Flange kits cannot be installed against mating surfaces
that include an integrated gasket, like wafer-style
butterfly valves. The gasket provided must be the only
gasket used in the assembly.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE OR TEST THE PRODUCTS IN THIS
