Drive Pipe Assembly
1. Starting at one end of the system, arrange drive pipe
sections on the ground end-to-end with the swedge ends
nonadjacent. For tubular motor: Place the slotted
section of pipe at the end of the assembly where the
motor will be installed.
2. IMPORTANT! There is a hook & loop strip laminated
to each pipe section. Keep the hook & loop strips lined
up when connecting the pipe sections in order to form a
continuous hook & loop strip running the entire length
of the drive pipe.
3. Couple pipe sections together by sliding the swedged
end of one section into the adjacent pipe. (NOTE: It
might be necessary to take a hammer and straighten out
the dimples in the ends of the pipes which were created
when the pipe sections were cut). Attach the sections
together by installing stainless steel pop rivets.
NOTE: Pop rivet installation: Drill 3/16 in. (4.8 mm)
dia. holes through the pipe and swedged end which
form a junction of two pipe sections. At each junction,
drill two holes about 2 in. (5.08 cm) apart on each side
of the pipe as shown in the diagram above. Insert rivets
through these holes to fasten the pipe sections together.
Install stainless steel pop
rivets.
Keep hook & loop strips aligned when assembling drive
pipe.
