INSTRUCTION MANUAL

forVertical Pipe Band

Set a fixed point of PlPELOCK in a center of vertical pipe length.The central fixed point acts as a fulcrum to direct thermal expansion and contraction upwards and downwards, supporting weight of copper pipe and reducing load on elbow at lowest floor at 50%.

To braze the pipe with pipe support ferrule, peel off the insulation around the mounted section.

Attach bracket on structural steel.(Use M10 bolt and nut.)To install bracket on structural steel,design the application with weightof vertical pipe system components.In the case of using the DirectMount Bracket (TK-K) for the wall,please put it on the wall with fullintensity.

Use on vertical risers 50 meters or less.To use on vertical risers over 50 meters, contact INABA.

Flange of Pipe Support Ferrule and the center of slot of Base Bracket shall be positioned on the same line, otherwise Fixing Clamp can not be attached.

Positioning and set up of Pipe SupportSet the size marking point in the front of operator (Drawing 3) and fix on the pipe positioning the flange of Pipe Support Ferrule on the same line to the center of slot of Base Bracket. (Drawing 4)

Check for mounting position of Pipe Support FerruleCheck by the following method if the mounting position of Pipe Support Ferrule is correct; Apply the Fixing Clamp onto the Pipe Support temporarily and check hole position of Fixing Clamp and Base Bracket. (Drawing 5) If the holes do not fit each other, it can not be fixed.

Remove Fixing Clamp after the check of mounting position of Pipe Support Ferrule.

Never do brazing when internal pressure is applied inside of pipe because there is a dangerous risk of an explosion of pipe.

According to the following procedure, braze Pipe Support Ferrule set on pipe using hard solder;

Details of flange part

Make sure to fill up every space between pipe and Pipe Support Ferrule brazing at entire circumference of upper and bottom side, hook part and side-slit part. If there is a gap between pipe and Pipe Support Ferrule, there might be a cause of gas leakage occurred by deformation of copper pipe when water (such as dew condensation) invaded into Pipe Support Ferrule is frozen.

Brazing material

Heat up the fixing part of copper pipe and Pipe Support Ferrule equally.

Applying the brazing material to the gap, braze lapping in above arrow directions confirming the brazing material is being absorbed into the gap.

Copper pipe

Brazing material

Heat up the fixing part of copper pipe and Pipe Support Ferrule (mainly Pipe Support Ferrule side) equally.

Check brazing condition again after completion of brazing work.

Check if there are any point where brazing material is absorbed (brazing material is absorbed between pipe and Pipe Support Ferrule and become lean by remaining heat).For prevention from burn, cool down the brazing part by wet towel etc. after brazing work.

Filled brazing material may sometimes become lean (thinner) while brazing other part. In this case, braze there again.

Attach Fixing Clamp after brazed Pipe Support Ferrule gets cool enough. (Drawing 16)

Painting of Fixing Clamp may be melt by the remaining heat of brazed Pipe Support Ferrule. Please make sure to install Fixing Clamp after Pipe Support Ferrule is enough cooled.

Check if Pipe Support Ferrule gets cool enough after brazing.

Remove the dust and wipe up the dirt at connection part between Insulation Cover and insulation material.

For prevention from opening the gap space between Pipelock and insulation, wind Adhesive Tape (INABA Item No. : HF-50, HV-50) at slit part of Insulation Cover on Base Bracket. Besides, fill up the gap by such as silicone caulking material at the end part of Insulation Cover for prevention from inflow of the air. (Drawing 19)

Wrap a layer of Insulation Joint Adhesive Tape (INABA Item No. : JTA-100-I) around insulation in circumference direction. Always set its center placed fiberglass at the insulation joint and overlap each other at least 10mm. (Drawing 18)
