Slipsil Installation

2 Simple Steps: Lubricate and Push in 

Step1  Lubricate each half plug

Step 2 Then simply push into place

Slipsil sealing plugs are used to obtain a certain degree of gas and water tightness. Water leaks
will be noticed rapidly. Gas leaks, however, are not visible and might be more dangerous.
Tightness is dependent on quite a number of parameters. From the design and material point of view, this means that properties have to be incorporated in the design to exclude any failures as far as possible. This starts with the way of installation and ends with
long term performance.

The designers of the SLIPSIL plug have been focusing on this issue. An appropriate profiling design and the use of a rubber grade with a proper flexibility, hardness and compression set offer excellent long term behaviour. The leveled outside profiles of the plug secure a proper surface contact inside the conduit and finally the inner ribs have a “sliding” design, not only for ease of installation, but also to create sufficient grip.

Installation procedure 
The following installation instructions are a guide line of installing the SLIPSIL plug.

Before starting the installation procedure, any dirt or concrete residues should be removed from the conduit opening (PVC or steel embedded pipe or drilled hole).
Then the inside wall of the conduit opening is treated with CSD lubricant along a distance wich approximately corresponds with the length of the SLIPSIL sealing plug.
The inside and outside surfaces of both segments of the sealing plug are then treated with CSD lubricant.
Both segments of the SLIPSIL sealing plug are placed around the ducted pipe and then pushed into the conduit opening as far as the first serration.
Then both segments of the SLIPSIL sealing plug are pushed by hand evenly - serration by serration - further into the conduit opening.
The flanged edge of the sealing plug must be flush against the wall or floor.
For fire rated penetrations SLIPSIL sealing plugs have to be inserted in both ends of the conduit opening. Please refer to the detailed drawings which are a part of the Type Approval Certificates.
