Introducing A-LOK’s Newest Product Exclusively Distributed by P.O. Box 1647 Tullytown, PA 19007 800-822-2565 215-547-5260 (fax)GrandSlam™ Lubricant is a new material specifically formulated for pipe penetrationsinto all A-LOK connectors as well as joining all types of pipes in trenches and manholes.• Very Slippery! GrandSlam™ Lubricant reduces friction of the gasket against the bell and the pipe against the connector. It helps pipe slide in smoothly minimizing the possibility of the gasket to displace and cause bell damage or the beveled pipe to tear the connector.• Special Wax Technology! GrandSlam™ contains a special wax that fills in the microscopic pores in concrete. By filling in the pores, gaskets slide rather than catch on the concrete surface.• Clean and Neat to Use! GrandSlam™ Lubricant washes off hands, tools and clothing with soap and water. It has no bad smell and does not get soupy, so field crews are more willing to apply it properly ensuring good field performance.• Easy to Apply! GrandSlam™ Lubricant clings to everything! Gaskets, connectors, concrete, PVC, ductile iron, HDPE, clay, and steel surfaces. It’s unique formulation keeps the lubricant where it belongs whether applied by hand, swab or brush. A totally lubricated area minimizes the threat of damage during installations.• Compatible! GrandSlam™ Lubricant does not affect or swell rubber or plastic gaskets. It contains no hydrocarbon or silicone greases. It does not affect gaskets over time to cause eventual leakage or breakage.• Safe and Non Toxic! Harmless to people and the environment when used as directed. Can be safely used in the field. Suitable for potable water systems. Meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61.“By preventing even one damaged pipe per month, GrandSlam™ Lubricant can pay for itselfover and over again! “GrandSlam™ Summer Grade GrandSlam™ Winter Package Size Grade GSQ-128 1 gal. pail (4/cs) GWQ-128GSQ-448 GWQ-448 3.5 gal. pail (1 ea)GSQ-640 GWQ-640 5 gal. pail (1 ea)

Application & Installation1. GrandSlam™ Lubricant is ready to use in the pail. Do not dilute, thin, or otherwise alter its consistency. For best results lubricate surfaces right before making connections.2. Clean all surfaces before applying lube. Outside the pipe and all over the connector for pipe penetrations. Inside the bell outside the spigot for pipe to pipe.3. For pipe penetrations into a connector, bevel the pipe, lubricate the connector all around, then lubricate the pipe back ½ its diameter up to 21”.4. The lubricant can be brushed on, swabbed on, or wiped on by hand with a cloth glove. Be sure to get full lubricant coverage. Don’t leave any area “DRY.” GrandSlam™ Lubricant makes such applications easy by grabbing and clinging to all surfaces.5. Because GrandSlam ™ lubricant will adhere when applied under water, steps 1-6 can be done in the rain or in a wet trench just like an A-LOK pipe installation.6. After lubrication, a pipe can be centered and inserted into a connector or pipes can be aligned and joined by an approved coupling method.7. For pipe to pipe installations position the gasket in the groove and equalize its stretch by lifting it slightly with a screwdriver while completely circling the pipe. Apply lubrication on top of the newly inserted gasket using one of the methods in step 4.Specifications:Lubricant Description Gasket High- Coating Adhesion to Freezing Compatibility Temperature Properties Wet PointGrandSlam™ High solids Separation ConcreteSummer with wetting <1.0% Wt.

PRECAST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 2 13 12 1. Inspect core for sharp or jagged edges that could damage the liner during the shipping process. 2. Place Dura Plate 100 Liner panels level around the core of the form. Form release agent is not necessary. 3. Install the vertical joints by placing the black rubber strip between the panel returns, making sure that the flap of the strip is fitted over one of the returns. 4. Place backing plate on the inside return of panel that the flap fits over. Hold together with spring loaded clamps evenly spaced about 12\" apart. 5. Secure the panels together with fasteners placed every 3 inches, making sure that each fastener is tightened to 5 in-lbs. Note: The fasteners must be installed from the side opposite the flap, straight thru the backing plate, parallel to the liner. 6. Repeat for all seams. Note: Caulk can be placed between the form core and liner returns to minimize concrete seepage during production. 7. Install reinforcement into form with any other necessary parts needed for the structure. 8. Pour concrete around the liner evenly to prevent shifting of the liner. 9. Vibrate and compact the concrete in a manner that will protect the liner and produce a dense, homogenous structure.10. Take precaution to protect the liner from sharp or jagged objects while stripping from the form.11. Visually inspect the liner after production for any cuts or tears. If repairs are needed, refer to Dura Plate 100 Liner repair bulletin for proper repair procedures.12. If steps or ladders are to be installed, drill all holes in liner larger than the diameter of the step. Install steps or ladder then caulk area around step and liner with FR500 caulking material (Lap Sealant).13. Protect all hole opening surfaces with a minimum 1/8 inch coverage of Sewer Guard that overlaps the liner at least a 1½ inches. JOB SITE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. When unloading the structure be careful. Take measures to protect the liner from being damaged by rocks or other debris. Lift carefully, do not drag. 2. Clean and install butyl strips around the joint design making sure that the butyl overlaps both the cement and liner return. 3. Carefully seat each section together making sure enough pressure is applied to seal the joint. 4. After structure is in place, plug all lift pin inserts and holes with suitable non-shrink grout. 5. If any damage to the liner occurs at the job site, use Dura Plate 100 Liner repair bulletin for proper repair procedures.
