Step 2

Insert the rubber sleeve into the cored hole with the GOLD VERTICAL LINE ON THE RUBBER SLEEVE facing to the side of the mainline. The upper segment should be on top of the wall or rib and the lower segment (PVC, Ribbed & Poly- ethylene pipe only) should be on the inside of the pipe. Feel inside to be sure lower segment is flat against inside wall.

Step 3

Apply the INSERTA TEE solution supplied to the inside of the rubber sleeve and to the outside of the PVC hub adapter’s spigot.

WARNING! Using pipe lube may result in hub adapter popping out!

Place the PVC hub adapter into the rubber sleeve. Make sure that the RED VERTICAL LINE ON THE PVC HUB ADAPT- ER IS IN LINE WITH THE GOLD VERTICAL LINE ON THE RUB- BER SLEEVE. Push hub adapter in as far as possible by hand. Make sure hub adapter is perpendicular to mainline. Forcing hub adapter through at an angle may cause damage to rubber sleeve or hub adapter.
