LHP-200
LYCO®Hydraulic Press
Installation Procedure For LYCOFIT®
Repair Fittings
1. Lubricate LHP-200 shafts with non synthetic lubricant (e.g. 3in1 oil) ONLY.
2. DO NOT apply lubricants to the fittings, spigots or sleeves.
3. When installing a fitting to repair a pressurized pipe, insure that the area of repair is isolated
from the pressure supply before cutting the PE pipe.
4. The LHP-200 is intended for installing LYCOFIT®fittings only.
5. LYCOFIT®fittings are designed to be installed only on O.D. controlled Polyethylene (PE) pipe
made per ASTM D2513 & ASTM F2619. Examine the pipe print line and fitting labels and install
fittings only to pipe with the correct size designation and wall thickness/DR.
6. If the installation is for use in Natural Gas pipe lines, pressure test each assembled joint in com-
pliance with minimum requirements as specified in D.O.T. CFR Title 49 Part 192, Sub Part J.
7. The LHP-200 requires a hydraulic source to operate. The AHP100 (ENERPAC™P142) is
available through Lyall as a hand pump source for operating the LHP-200. Other hydraulic pow-
er sources (e.g. ENERPAC PA-133) with an output greater than 5500 psig may be used. The
pump source should be limited to an output of 6500 psig to restrict the stress applied to the tool
during installation of the fitting. (ENERPAC pump adjustment instructions are available by re-
quest from your customer service representative.)

1. Mark and cut out the damaged PE pipe
symmetric to the damage at a distance
of 3-7/8 inches.
Step 1)
Installation Procedure For LYCOFIT®Repair Fittings
2 IPS
1. Slide the completion sleeves onto both
ends of the PE pipe.
2. Make a mark 4-5/8 inches from the end of
the pipe and align the clamp as shown with
the groove on the clamp away from the
pipe end.
3. With the alignment guide in place, tighten
the clamp until both sides are in contact.
Step 2)
1. Fully open the tool and align one of the
press plates (moveable press plate shown)
with the groove in the clamp.
2. Align the other press plate with the flange
groove in the fitting making sure the long
side of the fitting is facing the clamped
pipe.
Step 3)
1. Operate the pump and draw the long
side of the fitting into the PE pipe until
the end of the pipe reaches the shoul-
der on the fitting.
Step 4)
1. Make a mark 3-1/2 inches from the end of
the pipe and align the clamp as shown with
the groove on the clamp away from the
pipe end.
2. Tighten the clamp until both sides are in
contact.
Step 5)
1. Neutralize the pressure on the assembly
by opening the valve on the pump and
then re-closing.
2. Move tool so that the moveable press plate
is in the flange groove of the fitting.
3. Adjust the tool so that the pullback plate
straddles the pipe between the fitting and
the clamp as shown.

1. Operate the pump and draw the short
side of the fitting into the PE pipe until
the end of the pipe covers the last barb
on the fitting.
Step 7)
1. Relieve the pressure to the tool and align
the fixed press plate with the flange groove
on the fitting.
2. Operate the pump and draw the comple-
tion sleeve toward the fitting flange until it
aligns with the indicator rib on the spigot.
Approximately 2 inches from the flange.
Step 8)
1. Relieve the pressure in the tool and move
the tool so that the moveable press plate is
in alignment with flange groove on the
fitting
2. Operate the pump and draw the comple-
tion sleeve toward the fitting flange until it
touches the flange face.
3. Relieve pressure and remove the tool.

1. Slide the completion sleeves onto both
ends of the PE pipe.
2. Make a mark 4-3/4 inches from the end
of the pipe, align the clamp as shown
and tighten the clamp until both sides
are in contact.
Step 2)
1. Fully open the tool and position one of the
press plates (moveable press plate shown)
directly behind the clamp.
2. Align the other press plate with the flange
groove in the fitting making sure the long
side of the fitting is facing the clamped
pipe.
Step 3)
1. Operate the pump and draw the long
side of the fitting into the PE pipe until
the end of the pipe reaches the shoul-
der on the fitting.
Step 4)
1. Make a mark 4-3/8 inches from the
end of the pipe, align the clamp as
show and tighten the clamp until both
sides are in contact.

3. Adjust the tool so that the pullback plate
straddles the pipe between the fitting and
the clamp as shown.
Step 6)
1. Operate the pump and draw the short
side of the fitting into the PE pipe until
the end of the pipe covers the last barb
on the fitting.
Step 7)
1. Relieve the pressure to the tool and
align the fixed press plate with the
flange groove on the fitting.
2. Operate the pump and draw the com-
pletion sleeve toward the fitting flange
until it aligns with the indicator rib on
the spigot. Approximately 2 inches from
the flange.
Step 8)
1. Relieve the pressure in the tool and move
the tool so that the moveable press plate is
in alignment with flange groove on the
fitting
2. Operate the pump and draw the comple-
tion sleeve toward the fitting flange until it
