General Installation Instructions for Kennedy Valve MJ Tapping Sleeves:

  • Clean pipe - insert side gasket into back half of gasket grooves. Make sure ends are flush with or slightly protrude into the end gasket seating area.
  • Bolt sleeve halves together and trim side gaskets as necessary. MAKE SURE SLEEVE WILL ROTATE FREELY ON PIPE.
  • Install end gaskets, locating cut ends 90o from side gasket. If pipe is maximum OD, stretch gasket to make certain cut ends match with no gap in between.
  • Install glands and bolts – rotate sleeve to desired position. Be sure pipe is centered inside the sleeve.
  • Tighten gland bolts alternately, using 80 to 90 foot pounds.
  • After assembly, PRESSURE TEST ALL JOINTS BEFORE TAPPING. If additional tightening is required, release pressure and relax tension on gland bolts before tightening side bolts.
