Transition Sleeve Assembly TSL-005 Installation Instructions

Follow all federal, state and local laws governing the installation, testing and inspection of this product and its associated systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A and 70 from the National Fire Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage, environmental contamination and/or system degradation.

Procedure

Page 1 of 4

1. The transition sleeve requires a top boot assembly (TST-XXX-D/SC), a bottom boot assembly (TSB-XXX-D/SC) and a transition sleeve assembly (TSL-005). Selecting the correct configuration is important, please contact an APT representative at 1-800-225-9787 if you have any questions about boot selection or possible configurations.

2. Decide where the appropriate location for the below/above ground transition will be.

Note: If the site plans call for a ducted system, the four foot piece of DCT-400 included in the TSL-005 assembly may be discarded and the system duct attached directly to the bottom of the TSL assembly.

3. Place a hose clamp over the end of the DCT-400 ducting.

4. Place another hose clamp toward the end of the ducted pipe and secure the bent bar between the two clamps. Slide the product pipe through the ducting as shown below until there is plenty of extra piping for connecting into a hard pipe. This step provides the correct bend radius to the pipe.

5. Determine the grade level. The overall height of the transition sleeve can be adjusted by cutting the plastic sleeve. If you do cut the plastic sleeve, de-burr all of its rough edges before proceeding with installation.

6. The transition from below to above ground should be at, or near, the bottom boot as shown in Figure 1 to support the steel spool and limit stress on the bottom boot and plastic sleeve.

7. Tighten the rubber boot (P/N 434-122-00) onto the plastic sleeve with the single hose clamp as shown.

8. Slide the other end of the rubber boot over the piping and connect it to the duct by tightening the two hose clamps as shown below.

9. Using the bottom boot assembly (TSB-XXX- D/SC), place the ducted backer boot (P/N 322-227-10) over the plastic sleeve.

10. Locate the ducted boot using the molding seam on the inside of the ducted backer plate with the top edge of the plastic sleeve as shown below.

11. Tighten the hose clamps on the outside of the plastic sleeve until secure.

12. Slide the appropriate flexible entry boot from the bottom boot assembly over the piping and onto the ducted backer plate. Press the entry boot down the studs until the entry boot is flush with the ducted backer surface as shown.

13. Place the steel transition sleeve over the ducted backer plate’s studs. Determine the proper length of piping so all connections will be contained in the steel sleeve.

14. Remove the steel sleeve and cut the pipe to length. Square off and de-burr the end of the pipe. If you are using SC (Secondary Contained) piping, cut back the scuff guard layer to the sump wall (approximately 9" in dispenser sumps) and cut back the SC layer 41⁄2". For further cut back details, see the process’s complete description in the DWC-XXX Double Wall Cutter (SC) Installation Instructions or in APT’s Installation Guide Overview.

15. Install test boots if you’re using a secondary containment system.

16. Assemble the appropriate fittings to the end of the pipe(s).

17. Tighten the band clamps around each pipe on the bottom boot assembly.

18. Perform initial primary/secondary/ducting tests at this time.

19. Place the steel sleeve over the test boots and fittings to be sure they are all contained in the steel sleeve as shown below.

20. Remove the steel sleeve and begin securing the top boot assembly onto the sleeve.

21. At the top of the steel transition sleeve, place the appropriate flexible entry boot located in the top boot assembly (TST-XXX-D/SC) onto the sleeve lining up all of the holes.

22. Place the compression ring over the flexible entry boot lining up all of the holes.

23. Using the nut (P/N 330-100-09) and bolt kit (P/N 330-200-24) provided, place a bolt through all of the components and hand-tighten the nut from the bottom side as shown below.

24. Repeat Step 23 until all of the hardware is properly placed.

25. Begin tightening the hardware in a crossing pattern to compress the entry boot in an even fashion.

26. After the hardware has been sufficiently tightened, slide the hard pipe(s) through the top boot and steel sleeve assembly.

27. Make all necessary connection(s) from flex pipe to hard piping. Again, be sure all connections are contained within the steel transition sleeve area.

28. Position the holes in the steel transition sleeve over the studs of the backer plate in the bottom boot assembly.

29. Hand-tighten all hardware over the studs.

30. Finish tightening all hardware in a cross pattern to compress the entry boot evenly.

31. Tighten the clamps around the pipe at the top of the transition sleeve.

Note: Pipe entries should be perpendicular (+/- 15 degrees) to prevent boot stress.

32. Once the transition assembly and testing is completed, backfill the area around the transition sleeve. If the plans call for concrete to be poured, be sure to compensate for the depth of concrete when determining the below/above ground transition.

Note: The transition is centered on the plastic sleeve between the bottom boot assembly and the end of the plastic sleeve.

Note: It is the contractor’s responsibility to cover installed entry boots with a UV-resistant cover or lid in order to eliminate UV exposure.

TSL-005 Diagrams and Dimensions

NoteWhen ordering a transition sleeve the customer needs to order one TSL-005 (Transition Sleeve Assembly) with the appropriate TST (Transition Sleeve Top Boot Assembly) and one TSB (Transition Sleeve Bottom Boot Assembly) as per the required pipe size.
