DWC Pipe Joining with a Join Tracker

DWC pipe joining using a Join Tracker is a common method for creating a strong, secure connection between double-wall corrugated (DWC) pipes. The following are the general steps for joining DWC pipes with a Join Tracker:

1. Preparing Tools and Materials:

• • DWC pipes to be joined.
  • Join Tracker (pipe extraction tool).
  • Joint rubber (gasket/rubber ring).
  • Special pipe lubricant.
  • Supporting tools such as wrenches and brackets.

2. Preparing the Pipes:

• • Make sure both ends of the pipes to be joined are free of dirt, dust and other particles.
  • Check the condition of the pipes to make sure there is no damage that could affect the joint.

3. Fitting the Rubber Gasket:

• • Fit the rubber gasket to the end of the first pipe. Check that the gasket is seated correctly and is not bent.

4. Lubrication:

• • Apply lubricant to the rubber gasket and the end of the second pipe to make joining easier and reduce friction.

5. Installing the Join Tracker:

• • Attach the Join Tracker to the pipes being connected. Make sure it is fitted firmly and securely.
  • A Join Tracker generally has a pulling mechanism that draws the second pipe into the first pipe, which is fitted with a rubber gasket.

6. DWC Pipe Joining:

• • Operate the Join Tracker slowly to pull the second pipe into the rubber gasket on the first pipe.
  • Pull slowly and continuously until the second pipe is fully inserted into the first pipe and the rubber gasket is in the correct position.

7. Inspection:

• • After joining, inspect the joint again to make sure there are no gaps or leaks.
  • Check that the rubber gasket is in the correct position and is not bent.

8. Securing the Joint:

• • If necessary, place a clamp or cable tie around the joint so it remains secure and does not come apart easily.
  • Make sure the joint is completely secure before carefully removing the Join Tracker.

This joining method using a Join Tracker is highly effective, especially for projects that require large-diameter pipes or strong permanent joints. Always follow safety instructions during the joining process to avoid injury or damage to the pipes.
