Features of Uni-Flange® Series 1500

Ford Meter Box / Uni-Flange has the most technically advanced, high performance joint restraint device for PVC pipe available in the water works industry . . . the Series 1500 “Circle-Lock.”

ADVANTAGES OF THE SERIES 1500

• Full circle contact and support of the pipe wall. The Series 1500-C can be used on any thickness class of AWWA C-900 PVC pipe without any point loading. Full circle contact and support of the pipe wall is recommended by PVC pipe manufacturers.

• Correct Installation... every time. The Series 1500 features “Auto-Tork” actuating screws with heads specially designed to twist off at the correct installation torque, leaving a hex head in case future system maintenance or removal is required. This feature offers a visual indicator of correct installation. A special “insurance stop” is built into the bolt. After the Auto-Tork feature has been engaged, the bolt cannot be tightened further...there is never any danger of pipe damage.

• Restraining segments are mechanically retained in pockets, they cannot fall out. All parts show up on the job-site.

• Eliminates the need for concrete thrust blocks. When you use the Series 1500, there is no need to pour expensive and time consuming concrete thrust blocks. The Series 1500 offers guaranteed joint restraint, in any soil condition, in a matter of minutes.

HOW IT WORKS

The Series 1500 is a mechanical joint restraining gland. It performs two functions duringinstallation; gasket sealing and thrust restraint.

GASKETED SEAL

As with a standard mechanical joint, the gasket seal is made first. This is accomplished by tightening the T-head bolts / nuts that connect the Series 1500 to the mechanical joint fitting. The Series 1500 can be used with any mechanical joint bell conforming to ANSI / AWWA C110 / A21.10, ANSI / AWWA C111/ A21.11, or ANSI / AWWA C153 / A21.53.

THRUST RESTRAINT

The Series 1500 incorporates a series of ductile iron restraint segments that fit in pockets around the inner surface of the specially designed gland housing. These segments are contoured to fit each pipe size exactly and have integrally cast restraint edges along their bottom surface. After the seal is made, the “Auto-Tork” segment actuating screws are tightened. This locks the restraint segments onto the pipe surface, providing complete and total thrust restraint for the joint.

The restraint segments of the 1500 are the key to the design. They spread the restraining force, offering full circle contact and support of the pipe. This is important with PVC pipe, especially for thinner wall classes. The restraint segments are designed with a “slot” at the top, which accepts the channeled foot of the activating bolt, so they cannot fall out of their pockets. The Series 1500 meets or exceeds the capabilities of “Factory Restrained Joint Pipe” at a fraction of the cost.

The unique design of the Series 1500 provides full circle contact and support of the pipe wall.This design utilizes Ring Segments and is an exclusive feature of the Series 1500.

4. 5. 6.

4. Tighten the T-bolt nuts to the torque recommended in AWWA C111 (75-90 ft-lb in 4"-24" sizes). Tighten in an alternating manner (12 o’clock, 6 o’clock, 9 o’clock, 3 o’clock), maintaining the same gap between the gland and the face of the MJ bell at all points around the socket. Repeat the process until all bolts are within the recommended torque range. Use of a torque wrench is recommended.

5. After correct assembly of the mechanical joint, bring all restraint segments in contact wi th the pipe surface by turning the “Auto-Tork” actuating screws in a clockwise direction until contact is made with the pipe surface.

6. Tighten each “Auto-Tork” screw approximately 180 degrees (1/2 turn), alternating among screws until the heads twist off. Never turn a single screw more than 180 degrees without alternating to another screw.

3. Push the gland toward the socket and center it around the pipe with the gland lip against the gasket. Insert T-bolts and hand tighten nuts. Make deflection after joint assembly but before tightening bolts. (max. deflection is 5°)

2. Insert the pipe into the socket and press the gasket firmly and evenly into the gasket recess. Keep the joint straight during assembly.

1. Clean the socket and plain end. Lubricate gasket and plain end with approved pipe lubricant meeting AWWA C111. Place the gland on the plain end with the lip extension toward the plain end, followed by the lubricated gasket with the tapered edge of the gasket toward the plain end.NOTE: Series 1500-S for IPS PVC requires a mechanical joint transition gasket.

Note: To reinstall gland after twist-off heads are removed, tighten remaining hex head

to 75 ft-lb.

Types of Thrust Restraint

Recommended Restrained Lengths of Pipe

Many applications involving Uni-Flange Block Buster restraint devices require an additional length of pipe to be restrained on each side of bends or vertical offsets, on branch outlets of tees, before reducers, and before dead-ends. In addition to restraining the fittings themselves, any pipe or fitting joints that fall within these lengths should be restrained.

These lengths vary according to the parameters of the job... pipe size and type, test pressures, depth of bury, soil conditions and trench preparation will all affect the recommended restrained length.

Uni-Flange engineers are ready to assist you in calculating these recommended restrained lengths of pipe for any job-site conditions you may encounter. Simply contact the factory with information on the requirements of the job and the conditions of the job site and we will reply with our recommendations. Should you wish to review the methodology used in calculating these recommended lengths, we will gladly forward you a copy of our computer program on an IBM compatible only diskette.

Ford Brass Saddles Style S70For Standard PVC Pipe

Ford Saddles are cast from certified 85-5-5-5 waterworks brass and machined to rigid specifications. Their ample width and preformed radius provides greater distribution of clamping pressures to avoid crushing the pipe.

Design “A” (hinged) saddles install as a single unit with no loose parts to lose in the ditch. (Designs may vary - see below.)The upper and lower castings are permanently hinged together with silicon bronze pin and the silicon bronze bolt has a retainer on it to prevent loss during shipment and installation. The installation tag identifies the tap style and size. The lower casting is tapped to accept the bolt so that nuts are not required. PVC pipe may expand under high pressure causing damage to over-tightened saddles.

Ford’s convenient marking system quickly and easily identifies the type of thread in the boss. For AW WA tapered thread the topedge of the boss has a machined groove around the top outside edge while the boss for iron pipe thread is smooth.

CAUTION: Flexible couplings do not prevent axial pipe movement.

25

Ford CouplingsStyle FC1

Ford FC1 Couplings are ideally suited for mainline pipe usage because the center ring I.D. tolerances are tighter to better control vibration and misalignment problems.

Suggested uses for Ford FC1 Couplings include water main repair, joining of plain end pipe, valve and hydrant installation, and flexible joint installation at critical areas of water main stress.

They are constructed entirely of ductile iron components for light and easy handling. Modern technology and materials have enabled us to reduce the number of bolts required without compromising pressure ratings up to 300 psi. FC1 components are also interchangeable for better, more cost-effective inventory management.

Only the FC1 offers one gasket and end ring that fits all PVC and ductile iron pipe in the most popular sizes: 4", 6", and 8". Gasket ranges are embossed on each gasket for easy identification. End rings are color coded to match the color embossed on each gasket.

Component Parts for Style FC1 Coupling

Style FC1 for Cast, Ductile Iron or PVC Pipe

To Order: Order by Catalog Number from the table.

1. Backfill to make certain the grade is level with the top of the box. This will help avoid a tripping hazard.2. Lock lid securely into place. Locking style lids are preferred to prevent unauthorized removal that could create a safety hazard. If a lockless style lid is specified, make certain it fits properly into the frame and is not subject to sliding or tipping out of position. Ford lockless lids have extra long alignment lugs to ensure proper lid placement.3. Lids and meter boxes are designed as a unit, and it is not a good practice to intermingle lids and boxes from various manufacturers. User assumes all risk of mixing components of another manufacturer.4. Always make sure lids are seated properly after every use.

The inlet, outlet, and Expansion Connection are manufactured of waterworks brass meeting AWWA Standard C800, latest revisions.

The Expansion ConnectionEvery Meter Box includes the Expansion Connection, pioneered by Ford. It eliminates wrenches in the meter box during meter changeouts, permitting Ford Boxes to be smaller than ordinary concrete or plastic boxes.

Locking Lids for Ford Meter BoxesThe tamper-proof lock is shown from the underside of the lid. It is operated with a special “double-action” key, model MBLK. As the key retracts the spring-loaded lock pin, it attaches to the lid and becomes a lifter handle.

Ford Lifter Worm Lock

Ford Covers and Valve Keys

All keys are cast steel with zinc plating or red shop coat. They attach automatically to bolts of Lifter Worm Locks for lifting the lid.

Note: Number 3 and Number 4 keys are slotted for valve operation.

All locking lids feature a unique “worm” type lock. Two things happen as the key is turned and the lid is opened:

1. The hard cast iron worm rotates, applying a powerful screw-jack action between the lid and cover to break any seal of ice or dirt,

and 2. The key attaches itself to the forged silicon bronze pentagon bolt, forming a lifter handle for the lid, then automatically disengages from the lid as the cover is locked.

1. Make sure the cover, which consists of a frame and lid, fits securely onto the meter pit. Ford frames have positioning lugs extended from the bottom of the frame to prevent the cover from sliding off of the meter pit.

2. Backfill around the frame and make certain the grade is level with the top of the cover. This will help avoid a tripping hazard.

3. Install lid onto the cover frame and lock securely into place. Locking style lids are preferred to prevent unauthorized removal which could cause a safety hazard. If a lockless style lid is specified, make certain it is placed properly into the frame to prevent sliding or tipping out of position. Ford lockless lids have extra long alignment lugs to help ensure the lid is in place.

4. Lids and frames are designed as a unit and it is not a good practice to intermingle lids and frames from various manufacturers. User assumes all risk of mixing Ford lids with another manufacturer’s frame.

5. Check on a regular basis to ensure proper operation of locking devices and to make certain the meter box lid remains at ground level. Always make sure lids are seated properly after each use.
