Advantages of Aqua Connector
Excellent workability
No tools required. The AQUA Connector can be installed and removed by hand.
Immediate backfilling possible
Backfilling can be completed imidiately following installation as no EPOXY putty is required.
Water resistance
It is highly water-resistant due to it's moisture-activated expanding fabic lining.(water pressure 0.05MPa)
No wall thickness limitation
Fits most chamber wall thicknesses.
Flame retardancy
Flame-resistant EFLEX is also available.
Can be connected to EFLEX Square
Also suitable for EFLEX Square when used in conjuction the converter to EFLEX Coil.
Please see “EFLEX Square Installation manual” for more information.
Degree of protection
It is applied to IP67(IEC-60529)
How to use
Screw the AQUA Connector nut into EFLEX by hand.
Insert EFLEX into the hole in the chamber.
Screw the AQUA Connector mouth into EFLEX from the inside of the chamber.
Tighten the AQUA Connector nut until secure against the chamber wall (Tightening reference value: t) .
Specification
If the wall is thicker than C (AQUA Connector mouth length), it can be installed on a slope of less than 5%.

(Note)
Screw the Aqua Nut by hand. Do not use tools. Using the tool may damage the product.
Do not use the product in locations where ground subsidence is anticipated.
Make the excavation compact to a flat level surface.
Near the wall of the chamber, compact sufficiently according to the height at which the pipe is laid.
Do not bend the EFLEX near a chamber or other wall surface.
After connecting the aqua connector, do not step on the aqua nut or the EFLEX near the connection.
Do not drill holes on chambers with stepped surfaces, such as the knockout area and other boundaries.
Do not reuse after burying or use products containing moisture in the water-expandable non-woven part.
Do not use at where it is possible to enter large amount of water into chamber or EFLEX.
Follow the applicable core diameter range on chambers.
Correct EFLEX straight before connecting to the handhole.
Tighten the aqua nut according to the tightening value.
Before backfilling, check that there is no gap between the chamber surface and the aqua connector.
When backfilling the aqua nut, apply sand from the surrounding area and thoroughly compact while checking that there is no loosening.
If installing multiple layers of EFLEX, it is recommended to backfill and compact each layer of EFLEX.
