What is a foster adapter?

Foster Adaptor Highlights Ultra-compact MJ restraint. This simple, light-weight restraint saves critical space, and its bolt-through design means top security with half the bolts to connect. The Foster Adaptor takes the place of two lug-bolt type products.

What is an MJ adapter?

An MJ Adapter is used when mating HDPE to a ductile iron valve or fitting. The plain end of the adapter is fused to HDPE pipe enabling the other end of the elastomer gasketed fitting to be compressed into the ductile iron hub securely with the ductile iron compression gland.

What is a Megalug fitting?

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.

How do you transition from HDPE to PVC?

How to Transition From HDPE to PVC Pipes

1. Cut the end of the HDPE and the PVC pipe at 90-degree angles with a hacksaw or miter saw to ensure a flat face on the end of each pipe.
2. Debur the cut ends of the pipe with a razor blade or a deburring tool.
3. Slide the transition fitting onto the HDPE pipe.

Is Megalug a restrained joint?

Will PVC glue work on HDPE?

In fact, HDPE is so resistant to most glues, adhesives, and common solvents that it make it very difficult to join (although not impossible) HDPE to HDPE. In fact, you can, as long as you accept that it will not provide a bond as strong as “cold welding” with PVC cement.

How do I connect HDPE to HDPE pipe?

Butt or Fusion Welding uses a heating plate on the squared ends of the HDPE pipes to be joined. After the specified time, the heating plate is removed; pieces are put together and cooled under pressure. Butt welding can be used to join 2 pipes or a pipe to a fitting.

What is AWWA C153?

Back to AWWA C153-11 Ductile-Iron Compact Fittings. This standard describes 3-in. through 64-in. (80-mm through 1,600-mm) ductile-iron compact fittings to be used with ductile-iron pipe or pipe made of other materials with similar outside diameters for conveying potable water, wastewater and reclaimed water.

What is a foster adaptor used for?

Foster Adaptor® For Easier, Quicker and Stronger MJ Connections This ductile iron adaptor provides a better way to connect MJ fittings and valves. Check out these features: No Pipe To Cut — Simply slip on the gaskets and bolt the Foster Adaptor® between your MJ fittings and valves.

How do you install a foster adaptor on a valve?

Foster Adaptor® Installation on Mechanical Joint Fittings and Valves Clean Parts and Install Gaskets Be certain adaptor, MJ gaskets and MJ sockets are free of all dirt and foreign matter. Lubricate gaskets with an approved pipe gasket lubricant. Install flat side of gaskets toward center of adaptor. Seat to Raised Rib
