  The Permalok Interlocking Pipe Joining System features a precision-machined joint connection which is completed in the field using the existing jacking frame on your trenchless equipment or the force from your ramming machine. It eliminates the need for welding the steel pipe, and uses a time-saving 5-step installation process.

• Each end (male and female) is shipped from the factory with a wax-like protective coating which protects the machined surfaces from corrosion in most outdoor conditions. This protective film must be removed prior to mating the Permalok connections. This is done using a petroleum based solvent.
• Prepare ends by cleaning with firm bristle or wire brush and petroleum based solvent. Wipe clean and dry with shop towel or rag. The machined surface must be dry, clean, smooth and free of rust and dirt.
•

Prior to application of RTV Silicone Sealant, please read label carefully.

• Apply RTV Silicone to the male and female connectors, making sure that a continuous bead of silicone encircles the circumference. Spreading or troweling the silicone is optional. Align pipe straight and mate the connectors.
• After joint is mated most of the silicone will be squeezed out of the joint, some inside, some outside. There is no need to wait for silicone to cure, you may begin installation immediately.
• Should any questions arise during installation, please contact us at 800-280-5511.
