Size range: 44.5 to 345.4mm OD. All sizes above 345.5mm OD are supplied unfitted and
separate instructions apply (Form 2000).
1. Examine the pipe ends and ensure they are round, smooth, free from bulges, dents and score
marks and within the specified tolerances for that material, e.g. for steel - BS534:1990:Section
14. Weld beads must be ground flush, maintaining correct surface profile. Ensure that pipe ends
are free from scale, rust, or any loose debris or other surface defects that may affect coupling
performance.
2. Check grade of gasket is suitable for conveyed medium.
3. Align pipe to be laid with pipe already in position, taking care that pipe ends are concentric,
adjusting support or trench bed as necessary.
4. To aid installation, mark both pipe ends at a distance equal to or greater than half the
overall assembled width of the coupling. Lubricate the accessible gasket faces with Viking Johnson
Lubricant. Remove locating plug from sleeve (if lifted). Place coupling wholly on
one pipe end.
5. Adjust setting gap between pipe ends as necessary (see setting gap table). Where locating plugs
are used, setting gap should be increased by 10mm (3/8").
If in doubt contact Viking Johnson Technical Support.
6. Using marks made at step 4, slide the coupling to a central position over the pipe ends,
re-inserting locating plug (if needed) and commence bolt-up.
7. Tighten diametrically opposed bolts giving the nuts one or two turns at a time to draw up the end
rings evenly. The bolts must be thoroughly tightened to the figures given below, working around the
coupling as many times as necessary. On completion, radial gap between pipe and coupling should
be even all the way round. Rubber may be seen to extrude into the gap.
8. Ensure that the 'O' ring of the location plug (if lifted) is lubricated and seated correctly before final
tightening of plug.
Notes:
A. Standard Viking Johnson Couplings DO NOT PREVENT PIPE PULL OUT. The user must ensure adequate external restraint to the
pipework is provided. This is essential.
B. When installing Viking Johnson Couplings on GRP pipe and certain AC pipes a reduced bolt torque is required - contact the Viking
Johnson Marketing Department for further advice.
