FEATURES

The series 1100 Megalug mechanical joint restraints effectively and economically restrain ductile iron pipe (DIP) to mechanical joints above or below ground, for practically any application including valves, hydrants and pipe. For use on all classes of ductile iron pipe (PC350 through PC150 and CL56 through CL50) without damage to the pipe or cement linings. It can also be used on steel pipe and cast iron pipe when joining to mechanical appurtenances.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Installation Instructions

The Series 1100 MEGALUG® joint restraint is designed for use on ductile iron pipe conforming to ANSI/

AWWA C151/A21.51 (all thickness classes) when restraining mechanical joint pipe fittings.

All EBAA products intended for installation on ductile iron pipe are designed for and limited to use on

ductile iron pipes that comply with the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 and have a Brinell

Hardness or equivalent measurement value that does not exceed 230BHN. These requirements

apply to the entire pipe wall profile at all restraining wedge engagement points and to the full

penetration depth of each restraining wedge.*

Clean the socket and the plain end. Lubrication and additional cleaning should be provided by brushing

both the gasket and the plain end with soapy water or an approved pipe lubrication meeting the

requirement of ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11 just prior to slipping the gasket onto the plain end for joint

assembly. Place the gland on the plain end with lip extension toward the plain end, followed by the

gasket with the narrow edge of the gasket toward the plain end. [The gasket provided may be the EBAA-

SEAL® Improved Mechanical Joint Gasket, there is no narrow end as the gasket is bi-directional. In

certain sizes, use of the EBAA-SEAL is required to achieve the pressure ratings of the MEGALUG.]

NOTE: In cold weather it is preferable to warm the gasket to facilitate assembly of the joint.

Insert the pipe into the socket and press the gasket firmly and evenly into the gasket recess. Keep the

joint straight during assembly.

Push the gland toward the socket and center it around the pipe with the gland lip against the gasket.

Insert bolts and hand tighten nuts. Make deflection after joint assembly but before tightening bolts.

Tighten the bolts to the normal range of torque as indicated [3-inch 45-60 ft.-lbs., 4 through 24-inch

75-90 ft-lbs., 30 and 36-inch 100-120 ft.-lbs., and 42, 48, 54, and 60-inch 120-150 ft.-lbs.] While at

all times maintaining approximately the same distance between the gland and the face of the flange at

all points around the socket. This can be accomplished by partially tightening the bottom bolt first, then

top bolt, next the bolts at either side, finally the remaining bolts. Repeat the process until all bolts are

within the appropriate range of torque.

In large sizes (30 through 64-inch [762mm – 1,600mm]), five or more repetitions may be required. The

use of a torque-indicating wrench will facilitate this procedure.

Tighten the torque limiting twist off nuts in a clockwise direction (direction indicated by arrow on top

of nut) until all wedges are in firm contact with the pipe surface. Continue tightening in an alternating

manner until all of the nuts have been twisted off.

If removal is necessary, utilize the ⅝ inch (1¼ inch on the 1160) hex heads provided. If reassembly is

required, assemble the joint in the same manner as above, by tightening the wedge bolts to 90 ft-lbs

(150 ft-lbs on the 1160). If the series 1100 restraint is removed from the pipe, be sure that all the

collar bolts and wedges are in place before the restraint is reassembled.

Steps 2-5 are requirements of AWWA Standard C600-17
