DIRECTION FOR USE;

SURFACE PREPARATION .
1) Pre wet the blocks to be used for mixing .
2) The surfaces for mounting must be thoroughly cleaned of all laitance , loose materials , oil greases
etc.
3) Ensure that surface is flat , structurally sound & free from any other contamination which would
reduce the bond strength.
4) The surface should be free from voids , holes and cracks.
MIXING .
1) Gradually add 3 parts of power to 1 part of water (by volume) and mix it to smooth , workable paste
.
2) Do not attempt to extend the pot life by adding more water to mix.
3) After mixing allow the paste to stand for 2 - 3 minutes for it to mature..
APPLICATION METHODOLOGY .
1) Apply weber blokset uniformly .
2) After first unit is placed apply weber blokset on both side of the surface with uniform thickness
and continue the mounting by checking line and level.
3) Firmly press the block into weber blokset to ensure good initial bonding.
4) Clean the excess materials if any .

DIRECTIONS FOR USE :
SURFACE PREPARATION :
1) Clean the substrate of oil strains and bond inhibiting compounds . Also remove dirt , dust and
laitance , if any , using high pressure water jet or any other suitable method.
2) Ensure that the substrate is flat , stable, well adhered and has a normal absorption.
3) Concrete screeds, renders and block work should be cured sufficiently to avoid the shrinkage cracks.
4) Correct the local undulation/ damage on the substrate at least 48hours before the application of
weber.set plus- white.
5) Saturate the surface well and remove excess water before application of the tile adhesive.

MIXING
1) Gradually add 2.5 parts of powder to 1 part of water (by volume) and mix it to a smooth , workable
paste using a suitable stirrer or a low speed drill mix .
2) Do not attempt to extend the pot life by adding more water to the mix.
3) After mixing allow the mixture to stand for 2 minutes for it to mature.
TILE FIXING
1) Apply weber.set plus-white over the surface using the straight edge of the notched trowel and then

A.1.1 PIPE FITTINGS:

The fittings shall be of CPVC and brass with female screwed ends as called for in the
specification complying with all the appropriate requirements given in para A.1.1 or as
specified. The fitting shall be designated by the respective nominal bores of the pipes for
which they are intended.

The fittings where the taps, stop cock, mixer fitting, are intended to be fixed, shall be of
brass body and shall have screw threads at the ends / female threads or fittings shall be
parallel and male threads (except on running nipples and collars of unions) shall be
tapered. Unions shall be provided at regular intervals in the pipelines for easy
Maintenance / Repair / Replacement of pipes.

A.1.2 CUTTING:

CPVC pipes shall be cut with a wheel – Type plastic tubing cutter, a hacksaw or other fine-
toothed hand or power saws. Use of ratchet cutters shall be permitted provided blades
are sharpened regularly. A miter box should be used to ensure a square cut when using a
saw. CPVC pipes shall be cut as squarely as possible to provide optimal bonding area
within the joint. If any indication of damage or cracking is evident at the tubing end, the
pipe shall be cut off at least 2 inches (5cm) beyond any visible crack.

A.1.3 The pipes shall be cleaned of all foreign matter before being laid. In jointing the pipes, the
inside of the socket and the screwed end of the pipes shall be oiled and rubbed over with
white lead and a few turns of locklite wrapped round the screwed in the socket, tee etc.,
with the pipe wrench. Care should be taken that all pipes and fittings are properly jointed
so as to take the joints completely watertight and pipes are kept at all time free from dust
and dirtduring the fixing. Burr from the joint shall be removed after screwing. After laying,
the open ends of the pipes shall be temporally plugged to prevent access of water, soil or
any other foreign matter.

Any threads exposed after jointing shall be painted or in the case of underground piping
thickly coated with approved anticorrosive paint to prevent corrosion / wrapped with 4
mm thick pipe kote pipe running below ground level shall be laid at a minimum depth
600mm.

A1.4 DEBURRING / BEVELING:

Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between tube and fitting during assembly,
and should be removed from the outside and inside of the tubing. A chamfering tool is
preferred but a pocketknife or files are suitable for this purpose. A slight bevel on the end
of the tubing will ease entry of the tubing into the fitting socket and minimize the chances
of pushing solvent cement to the bottom of the joint.

A.1.4 PRIMER / CLEANER APPLICATION:

Primer or cleaner shall be applied for preparing the bonding area for the addition of
cement and subsequent assembly. A proper applicator shall only be used. A dauber or
natural bristle paint brush approximately ½ the size of the tubing diameter shall be
appropriate. Apply primer to both the outside of the tubing end and in the fitting socket.
Primer should not be allowed to puddle in the fitting.

Page 3 of 128
A.1.5 SOLVENT CEMENT APPLICATION:

FOR MAKING JOINT ONLY CPVC CEMENT OR AN ALL – PURPOSE CEMENT

CONFIRMING TO ASTM F- 493 SHALL ONLY BE USED. When the primed pipe and fitting
surfaces are dry, apply a thin coat inside the fitting socket.

A.1.6 LAYING AND JOINTING:

The pipes and fittings shall be inspected at site before use, to ascertain that they confirm
to the specification given in parA1.1.The defective pipe shall be rejected. Where the pipes
have to be cut or jointed the ends shall be carefully filed, so that no obstruction to bore is
offered. The jointing to be dry fit checked. A thick coat of solvent cement shall be applied
to the outer surface of the socket by mean of a brush. Solvent cement shall be of approved
and of good quality ASTM – F493. The pipe shall be then inserted is to the fitting and
turned 90 degree to ensure even distribution of solvent cement with in the joint. Excess
solvent cement shall be wiped off. Properly align the fitting. Hold the assembly for
approximately 10 seconds, allowing the joint to set – up. An even bead of cement should
evident around the joint. If this bead is not continuous around the socket edge, it may
indicate that insufficient cement was applied. In this case, remake the joint to avoid
potential leaks. Wipe excess cement from the tubing and surfaces for an attractive
professional appearance. Clamps / pipe hooks a required size shall be used for clamping
the pipe to the walls.

A.1.7 SET AND CURE TIMES:

Solvent cement set and cure times are a function of pipe size, temperature, and relative
humidity. Curing time is shorter for drier environments, smaller size, and higher
temperatures. Refer to the following table for minimum cure time after the last joint has
been made of before pressure testing can begin.

A.1.8 MINIMUM CURE PRIOR TO PRESSURE TESTING AT 150 PSI (10 BAR)

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE PIPE SIZES PIPE SIZES

DURING CURE PERIOD ½” – 1” 1 ¼” – 2”
Above 150 C 1 Hour 2
Hours
4-150 C 2 Hours 4
Hours
Below 40 C 4 Hours 8
Hours

Special care should be exercised when assembling Flow Guard systems in extremely low
temperature (below 40 C) or extremely high temperature (above 380 C). In extremely hot
temperatures, care should be taken to ensure both surfaces to be jointed are still wet with
cement when putting them together.

Page 4 of 128
A.1.9 TESTING:

Once an installation is completed and cured per these recommendations, the systems
should be hydrostatically pressure tested. 10bar (150 PSI) for one hour is recommended.
When pressure testing, the system should be filled with water and all air bled from the
highest and farthest points in the run. If a leak is found, the joint must be cut out and
discarded. A new section should be installed using couplings. During sub – freezing
temperatures, water should be blown out of the lines after testing to eliminate potential
damage from freezing.

A.1.10 HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Flow Guard CPVC is a tough, corrosion resistant material, but it does not have the
mechanical strength of metal. Reasonable care should be exercised in handling CPVC
pipes and fittings. They should not be dropped, stepped on, or have objects thrown on
them. If improper handling or heavy impact results in cracks, splits, or gouges, the
damaged section shall be discarded. Flow Guard tubing should be covered with a non-
transparent material when stored outdoors for long periods of time.

A.1.11 HANGERS AND SUPPORTS:

For vertical runs supports shall be provided a at each floor level, plus a mid – story guide.
For horizontal runs, supports shall be provided at three-foot (90-cm) intervals for
diameters of one inch and below and at four-foot (1.2 m) intervals for larger sizes. Piping
should not be anchored tightly to supports, but rather secured with smooth straps or
hangers that allow for movement caused by expansion and contraction. Most hangers
designed for metal pipe are suitable for Flow Guard. Hangers shall not have rough or
sharp edges which come in contact with the tubing.

A.1.12 HORIZONTIAL AND VERTICAL SUPPORT:

A typical Cold water distribution system operating at 260-300 C supports shall be provided
for horizontal lines at every 3’(90cm) for sizes ½” – 1”, and every 4’ (120 cm) on sizes
larger than 1”. However, the following spacing shall be used at water temperatures
