Linkseal question
Linkseal question
(OP)
I have not used this linkseal system before but it seems on site the concrete slab is 16" think but the linkseal is only 12". Isn't the seal supposed to protrude for both top and bottom? This is for a hdpe water pipe coming into a small treatment plant.
Thanks
Thanks

My thinking is that the collar penetrates thru the concrete slab so if the slab heaves the pipe inside wont be stretched with the slab.

I would install the sleeve extended 4" above the floor (2" if wall pen). Installing slleeve gets you two things ... 1. separates movement between slab and pipe (as opposed to pouring concrete right up against the pipe), and 2. helps protect the pipe from such things as rolling stock.
