connections into PVC, asbestos cement pipes, cast iron and ductile
iron pipes, PE and GRP pipes, steel pipes.

A ferrule can then be inserted into the main via the Strap Boss using
drilling and tapping equipment whilst the main is pressurized or dry.

The Flat Boss Strap range provides maximum thread engagement into
the boss of strap and tappings from 1/2″” to 2″” can be made into most

Solid Flat Boss Straps can also be used as blanking straps for sealing
existing holes in mains after removal of a ferrule.

| FLAT BOSS STRAP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS |
For easy trouble free installation the steps detailed should be followed:

Select the correct size and type of the strap for the main.

Place the sealing ring in the groove in the underside of the strap boss
(many straps are supplied with the sealing ring pre-bonded into
position making assembly even easier and position the upper half of
the strap on the main ensuring that the sealing ring remains snug in
the groove.

Locate the bottom of the strap under the main below the top half of
the strap.

Using the two nuts and bolts provided bolt the two halves together
ensuring the bolts point upwards. Finger tighten the bolts evenly,
keeping the gaps between the lugs equal on each side.

Check that the strap sits squarely on the main then hand tighten
each nut. Tighten each nut a further two and a half turns or to a
torque setting of approximately 10 lb/ft (13.6 Nm).

The strap is now secured to the main.
