Joining method for SDR tubing (CTS) or SIDR 7 pipe (IPS) only Joining Method for SIDR pipe (IPS) Explanation of Terms IPS – Iron Pipe Size Make sure tubing/pipe end is round and clean. Place the insert stiffener inside the tubing/pipe. Insert the tubing/pipe into the fitting so that the end of the tubing/pipe hits the bottom of the fitting or is well past the gasket. Tighten the pack joint nut down per manufacture instructions. Test all joints for leaks before back filling AVOID using a pipe wrench on brass fittings SIDR 19, SIDR 15, SIDR 11.5, SIDR 9 and Irrigation pipe will use “barbed insert fittings” with stainless steel hose clamps. Pipe should be cut squarely with a pipe cutter designed for cutting plastic pipe. Using 2 clamps per joint with the screw head 180° opposite each other. Insert the fitting into the pipe until it is fully seated. Place clamps at the end of the pipe, making sure clamps are 180°apart and tighten. Insert fittings can be used on the SIDR 7 pipe, but it is not recommended. Insert Coupling Insert Stiffener Insert Male Adapter Compression x Male Thread Adapter Insert Elbow Compression x Compression Coupling Insert Tee Other combination are available Other combinations are available CTS – Copper Tube Size PE – Polyethylene IPS/OD – Iron Pipe Size but OD controlled (aka geothermal) SIDR (ID Controlled) – Standard Inside Dimension Ratio. Inside diameter constant throughout SIDR sizes SDR/SODR (OD Controlled) – Standard outside Dimension Ratio. Outside diameter constant throughout SDR sizes PSI – Pressure rating of Polyethylene at 73.4°F
