HYMAX GRIP FLANGE ADAPTOR User manual

STEP 1 Prepare pipe end by de-scaling if required. Clean the pipe as required with
water. Make sure that the pipe is clean from debris and defects that interfere
with HYMAX GRIP's proper seal.
NOTE: Except steel, PVC, and PE pipes, all rough-surfaced pipes must be lubricated
with a water-based gasket lubricant in order to achieve a proper seal.
STEP 2 Measure the pipe’s Outer Diameter and make sure the coupling’s size fits properly.
NOTE: Each coupling’s size range is shown on the product’s label. Make sure that
the pipe is not out of round! The pipe should be free of scratches, dents, flats or
other defects which may interfere with the HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor's proper
seal. The GRIP Flange Adaptor may not fit well or function properly on a pipe which
is damaged or is out of round.
STEP 3 Unpack the HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor carefully. Inspect the product and end ring
for shipping damage and assure all parts are present.
Inspect the end ring. If it is not centered on the HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor - DO
NOT USE! Contact your distributor for return and replacement.
NOTE: HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor is a stab-on type product. Do not loosen or
remove the end ring bolts.
NOTE: Make sure that the product fits the flange standard of the flanged product
you need to connect it to. The Flanged standard types appear in the submittal
drawings.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
THE HYMAX GRIP FLANGE ADAPTOR IS A STAB-ON TYPE RESTRAINT THAT IS APPROVED FOR USE WITH METAL

STEP 1: Clean the pipe as required
with water. Make sure that the pipe is
clean from debris and defects that
interfere with HYMAX Grip’s proper seal.
STEP 2: Measure the pipe's Outer
Diameter and make sure the coupling's
size fits properly.
STEP 4: Mark pipe end to a minimum
required stab depth of 3.5”. These marks
indicate the required stab depth of the
pipe on the Flange Adaptor.
STEP 6a: Connect the GRIP Flange Adaptor
to the existing flange....
STEP 6b: .... and tighten bolts
to maximum.
STEP 6c: .... Bring in the pipe.
Stab the pipe onto the Flange
Adaptor so it covers the
mark on the pipe drawn
in step #4 above.
STEP 7: Tighten the end ring
using a torque wrench, to the
correct torque shown on the
product's label. By tightening
bolts the Flange Adaptor is steadily
stabbed on the pipe.

NOTE: Make sure that the pipe is properly supported. HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor
cannot support the weight of the pipe by itself.
NOTE: Bolts are pre-lubricated with a MAG coating. This embedded zinc lubrication
will prevent cold weld. Do not lubricate the bolts and nuts. Greasing or lubricating
bolts or nuts voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
STEP 4 Mark pipe end to a minimum required stab depth as indicated on the product
label. These marks indicate the required stab depth of the pipe on the HYMAX
GRIP Flange Adaptor.
The HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor fits a wide range of pipe sizes. Each product’s
range is shown on the product’s label.
STEP 5 Place gasket (not provided by Krausz) between the GRIP flange and the flanged
product. Connect the HYMAX GRIP Flange Adaptor to the existing flange and tighten
bolts. Bring in the pipe. Stab the pipe onto the GRIP Flange Adaptor so it covers the
mark on the pipe drawn in step #4 above.

For sizes 1.5''-3'' only: Size the gasket. The GRIP Flange Adaptor has two gaskets in
these sizes; a removable inner gasket and a hydraulically-assisted outer gasket. The
inner gasket can be removed to accommodate larger OD pipes. DO NOT remove the
inner gasket unless the OD falls within the upper range of the flange adaptor. The
proper range sizes are shown on the product label. If the inner layer of the gasket
must be removed, fold the inner layer and separate the two gaskets by inserting a
screwdriver between the two layers, and pull the layer out of the product.

STEP 6 Tighten the end ring using a torque wrench, to the correct torque shown on the
product’s label.
NOTE: Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts - this is required. A torque wrench
will assure a proper torque has been applied to the coupling.
STEP 7 Recharge the line and check for leaks. If any leakage is evident, reduce the
pressure in the line and increase bolt’s torque by up to 50%. Verify again no leaks
are evident along the seal.
