FST-KIT-180 Contents:

1. Clean cables and duct with Type CD™ cleaning wipe (cat. #CD-1) as provided in the kit.   This will remove contaminants and any organic growth.   Roughing the surfaces with an abrasive such as sandpaper or steel wool may increase the effectiveness of the FST Sealant.
   
   
2. Create a foam dam by wrapping foam strip around cable so that it fills the space between the cable and duct.   Foam strip will also slow any existing water flow.   Cut foam to size as necessary.   Using the positioning rod, push foam 130 mm to 180 mm (5 to 7 inches) into duct (Figure 1).
   
   
   
3. Using the same method, wrap second foam strip around cable (If more than one cable, separate cables with foam strips).   Push second foam strip into the duct until the edge is flush with the duct entrance (Figure 1).
   
   
4. Remove Foam Base Cartridge from pouch.   NOTE: Do not remove cartridge from protective foil until ready to use.
   
   
5. Put on impermeable gloves and eye protection.   Holding cartridge upright, slide off metal clip and remove nut and plug (plug can be saved for re-use of cartridge).   Attach mixing nozzle and tighten nut back into place.
   
   
6. Position cartridge in Ratchet Application Tool (Cat. #FST-TOOL).   Dispense and discard the first liquid to run through the nozzle (about 1 squirt with the application tool).   This initial material will not be well mixed or have the proper ratio of material.
   
   
7. Insert mixing nozzle into top wrap of foam dam so that tip extends into space between foam strips (Figure 1).   Inject desired amount of foam sealant (see Table 1).   Rapid injection will produce better mixing.   Sealant will expand fully in 2 to 5 minutes.
   
   
8. Secure foam dam to the edge of duct for 1 minute as sealant expands.
   
   
9. Remove cartridge with the static mixer attached.   Sealant may seep between the crevices of the foam dam as it expands.
   
   
10. Sealant will harden (set) in 10-15 minutes.
    
    
11. After sealant has set, the top of the foam dam may be pulled down slightly to see whether the sealant has expanded enough to fill the entire void.   There should be no air pockets visible.   If the foam sealant has not completely filled the duct, attach a new mixing nozzle and inject sealant directly into the void area.
    
    
12. Clean-up: Cartridge can be reused for several weeks after initial use.   Remove mixing nozzle and visually ensure that orifices are not blocked.   Seal with replaceable plug and nut.   When ready to use, remove end cap assembly and check to make sure orifices are clear of any hardened sealant.   Attach a new, unused mixing nozzle, tighten nut and insert used cartridge into ratchet application tool.
    
    
13. Dispose of material in accordance with local and national regulations.
    
    
14. Example Seal:   A properly constructed seal should appear similar to the image below:
