HK Tylox HKT User manual

Designed to replace mortared joints between connect-
ing pipes and a concrete pipe or structure, Tylox® HKT
connectors will save you construction time and money
due to:
• simple “push-t” connection
• no special tools or equipment
• immediate back-ll
Engineered to accommodate dierential settlement,
the exible, rubber construction of the Tylox® HKT
connector allows for watertight connections of at least
5 psig (34 KPa/11.5 ft of head).
By minimizing joint leakage due to dierential settle-
ment, the Tylox® HKT connector saves you operating
time and money by:
• reducing costly joint maintenance
• reducing the potential for environmental hazards
and clean-up
• reducing the chances for ground-water contami-
nation
• reducing “clean-outs” required due to soil in-
gress
Tylox® HKT connectors are available in two models:
• HKT-PMH, for connections into concrete man-
holes
• HKT-PP, for connections into concrete pipe
e HKT-PP features a built-in stop to prohibit the
intrusion of the lateral pipe into the ID of the main
pipe run.
Hamilton Kent’s policy of carrying large inventories
of nished product in multiple locations means that
you’ll nd ordering and receiving Tylox® exible, rub-
ber connectors is a simple, worry-free experience.

then insert the connector into
the hole by hand, until it is
rmly gripped by the hole.
4. Using a rubber mallet, tap the
connector into place, taking
care to ensure that axis of con-
nector stays aligned with axis
of hole, until the face-ange
rests rmly against the face of
the concrete pipe/structure.
5. Chamfer and deburr the con-
necting PVC pipe end.
6. oroughly lubricate the end
of the PVC pipe and the inte-
rior of the connector with an
appropriate grade of Tylox™
pipe gasket lubricant. (For
connectors rated for “stan-
dard” usage, Hydrocarbon
-based lubricants must not
be used as these have a detri-
mental eect on the connec-
tor material and its water-
tightness)
7. Center the connecting PVC
pipe end within the connec-
tor, then gently push the pipe
home.
Note that for concrete pipe, the
PVC pipe should butt rmly up
against the internal stop in the
HKT-PP connector.
For concrete structures (HKT-
PMH), the connecting pipe must
be pushed home until the end of
the pipe is at least 3” beyond the
inner sealing n.
It is our recommendation that
all connecting pipe stubs be re-
strained from movement during
testing (vacuum or hydrostatic).
Pipe stub restraints should re-
main in place until future tie-in
of line is completed.

Materials and Identication
Tylox™ HKT connectors are manufactured from syn-
thetic rubber compounds to meet the material require-
ments of ASTM C923.
Connectors are available for “Standard” or “Oil-resis-
tant” applications. Oil-resistant connectors will have
an orange dot on the rubber molding.
Other materials and specications may be available as
custom order. Please consult your Hamilton Kent rep-
resentative regarding your specic requirement.
Pressure Rating
Tylox® HKT connector are designed to provide wa-
tertight connections of at least 5 psig (34 KPa/11.5 ft
head).
Installation
1. Ensure that hole in concrete pipe/structure is free
from chips, cracks or other defects.
2. Remove all lose dirt and debris from the hole, and
from the exterior and interior of the connector.
3. Align the curvature of the face-ange of the con-
nector with the curvature of the pipe/structure and
