3. Ukusetha nokufakwa
This section provides instructions for the proper installation of the ICON 12511 Hub Fitting. Ensure all safety precautions are followed during installation.
3.1. Required Materials (Not Included)
- Butyl sealant (ICON part # 12062 recommended)
- Hose pipe clamp (appropriate size for 3" connection)
- Standard ABS plumbing adhesive/cement (for ABS connections)
3.2. Izinyathelo Zokufaka
- Prepare the Holding Tank: Ensure the polyethylene holding tank has a molded collar suitable for a 3-inch hub connection. Clean the area around the collar thoroughly to remove any debris or residue.
- Faka i-Sealant: Apply a generous amount of butyl sealant (e.g., ICON part # 12062) around the molded polyethylene collar of the holding tank. This will create a watertight seal between the tank and the hub fitting.
- Attach the Hub Fitting: Carefully slide the ICON 12511 Hub Fitting onto the molded polyethylene collar of the holding tank. Ensure the O-ring is properly seated within the female slip end of the hub to provide an initial seal.
- Vikela nge-Clamp: Place a hose pipe clamp around the connection point where the hub fitting meets the holding tank's collar. Tighten the clamp securely to compress the butyl sealant and create a robust, leak-proof connection.
- Connect to ABS Plumbing: The 3-inch female slip end of the hub fitting is designed for connection to standard ABS plumbing. Use appropriate ABS plumbing adhesive/cement to join the hub fitting to your ABS drain pipe. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for curing times.
- Ukuhlola Ukuvuza: After the adhesive has cured, fill the holding tank with water and inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately before putting the system into full operation.
4. Ukusebenza
The ICON 12511 Hub Fitting is a passive component designed to facilitate fluid transfer. Once properly installed, its operation is integrated with the overall RV waste water system. Ensure that all connected plumbing components are functioning correctly to allow for proper waste drainage.
5. Isondlo
Regular inspection of the ICON 12511 Hub Fitting and surrounding plumbing is recommended to ensure long-term performance and prevent issues.
- Ukuhlola Okubonakalayo: Periodically check the hub fitting and its connections for any signs of cracks, wear, or leaks. Pay close attention to the areas where the butyl sealant and hose clamp are applied, as well as the ABS plumbing joints.
- Inhlanzeko: While the fitting itself is part of a waste system, ensuring the exterior is free from excessive dirt or debris can help in visual inspections.
- Seal Ubuqotho: If any leaks are detected, re-evaluate the application of the butyl sealant and the tightness of the hose pipe clamp. If necessary, disassemble, clean, reapply sealant, and re-secure the connection.
