Installation manual:

  • Monolithic Isolation Joints are completely assembled and sealed at the factory and should not to be disassembled for installation.
  • Inspect bore for foreign particles and clean if necessary.
  • Install by butt-welding each end of the factory assembled joint to attaching pipe or fitting.
  • No additional heat sink is normally required.
  • Each joint is coated with non-conductive epoxy paint. This coating should remain on the product to insure the insulating capability of the joint.
  • The Insulating Joint is factory tested for electrical resistance prior to shipment.
  • If the original coating is removed or if an additional coating is to be applied, it is the responsibility of the user to assure that the joint remains non-conducting.
