5. APPLY HOUSING: Place housing over gas-
ket being sure the gasket remains centered
over the marked pipe ends and the housing
tongue and recess are properly mated. Insert
bolts and apply nuts finger tight. ALWAYS
TAKE CARE TO AVOID DAMAGE TO
THE COUPLING TEETH. ALWAYS WEAR
GLOVES WHEN HANDLING VICTAULIC
HDPE PRODUCTS.
• All sizes of HDPE Style 995 couplings have sharp
teeth.
• Always wear gloves when handling.
• Avoid handling coupling by grabbing the teeth.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury,
property damage, improper installation, joint leakage
or joint failure.

6. TIGHTEN NUTS: Tighten the nuts uni-
formly, alternating sides until housing bolt pads
meet firmly metal-to-metal. Alternate tight-
ening for uniformity is essential to prevent gas-
ket pinching.
Victaulic HDPE couplings must have nuts tightened
evenly and securely to bring all bolt pads firmly to-
gether metal-to-metal.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury,
property damage, improper installation, joint leakage
or joint failure.
I-900
All sizes of HDPE Style 995 cou-
plings have a tongue and recess
feature and must be properly
mated, tongue to recess.
Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, prop-
erty damage, joint leakage or
joint separation.
