Threaded nipple connections are standard available up to 1”, the type of thread is to be selected.This nipple
connection may be manufactured in 3 different ways for example by a saddle provided with thread bonded to the
pipe, or by assembling a nipple into a laminate layer applied to the pipe or by assembling a nipple into a tee.
The last two mentioned methods are preferred.Saddles with branches of diameter 80 mm and above must be
laminated after the adhesive bonding has been cured.

When assembling saddles with flanges or nipples, the following rules have to be observed:
A Remove the topcoat of the pipe with a sanding disk, over an area equal to that of the saddle or laminate.
B Locate the saddle and mark the hole to be drilled.
C Remove the saddle and drill the hole with a hollow diamond drill or a hollow saw.
D Be sure that the surface is free of grease and dirt. Abrade both the inner surface of the saddle as well as the
outer surface of the pipe, with the abrasive paper packed with the adhesive kit. After sanding make sure that
saddle and pipe still fit accurately.
E Mix resin and hardener according to the instructions (packed with the adhesive) and apply the mixture to the
sanded surfaces. Make sure that saddle as well as pipe are pre-heated (30° à 35°C.). Make sure adhesive is
applied also on the edge of the drilled hole.
F Relocate the saddle and fix it with clamps or clamping strips, taking into account that the pipe will not be
deformed.
G Cure the adhesive according to instructions with the aid of a heating blanket at which the joint should be insulated.
In order to avoid leakage, take care when mounting measuring or regulating equipment, that the nipple is by no
means rotated in relation to the saddle, support or laminate layer.
10.7. Algae growth
To prevent growth of algae caused by the translucency of Wavistrong, the following solutions are advised:
A Pipes supplied with a black liner on the inside.
B Pipe supplied standard with a dark undercoating with a black polyurethane coating on top.
- The best adhesion for the coating is achieved if the top coat of the pipe is roughened by blasting.
If this is not possible for whatever reason, the pipe can be cleaned using thinner.
- Now coat with an epoxy (dark) base coat.
- Now apply 2 layers of polyurethane top coat (black).Check chapter 10.8 for painting instructions.
C Injection with chlorine gas (C12) concentration < 20 p.p.m.
