Handling/Lifting Instructions
Pipe Diameters DN1800 to DN2400 are designed and
manufactured to incorporate Easi-Lift jointing and
lifting system.
Easi-Lift System
A
The Lift
To lift the pipes, select the two short legs A and B on
the chain set. Place the spherical coupling over the cast
in anchor and engage by turning the tail of the head
link down to the concrete. The pipe can then be lifted
as normal.
Never pass slings or other lifting appliances through
the barrel and never lift more than one pipe at a time.
Jointing
C
B
Ensure that the seal is of the correct size, and is not
damaged.
Ensure pipe sockets and spigots are not damaged.
Position the rubber ring on the end of the spigot end.

Easi-Lift joint
To joint the pipe using the chain system. Attach the long
leg C to the already laid pipe and the short leg B to the
pipe to be laid. Take up the slack in the chains with the
lifting pulley over the anchor of the laid pipe, and increase
the upward force to joint the pipes. When jointed, ensure
that there is no excessive slew or misalignment, this can
easily be checked by reference to the joint gap.
Joint Gap
Notes:
1. All dimensions are in mm.
2. Weights in kg are based on a concrete density of
2500kg/m³.
3. Where relevant pipes are manufactured in
accordance with BS EN 1916.
4. Note right hand or left hand junctions (viewed
socket to spigot) should be specified when
ordering reduced junctions in pipe diameters
DN1800 and above.
5. Note lifting chains are not suitable for joining
purposes in pipes of diameter DN2400. Joint in the
traditional method.
6. All junctions to be installed on their side only.
