INSTALL PIPE UNDER SIDEWALKS
| STEP ONE | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
Place a peice of pipe next to the sidewalk sleever with one
end touching the pipe stop and mark, with your finger, where the pipe just meets the taperd end. Then cut the pipe at that
point. If the pipe is past the taperd end this will allow dirt to enter the pipe during installation.
| STEP TWO | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
Take the cut pipe (sleeve) and slide it on the sidewalk
sleever. It is important the the sidewalk sleever is clean. Dirt on the tool will make extracting the tool difficult.
| STEP THREE | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
Place the sidewalk sleever just under the concrete and tap
in a few inches. This will allow the tool to hold itself off the ground making it easier to remove the tool after installation.
| STEP FOUR | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
While straddling the trench, use a 16 pound sledge hammer to impact
the sidewalk sleever under the sidewalk. Continue impacting the tool until the taperd end appears at the other end.
STEP FIVE
Once the tool and pipe are visible at the other end, simply
grab the impacted end of the tool and remove from the installed pipe. If necessary, tap the pointed end of the tool with the
hammer to help the sidewalk sleever slide out of the pipe.
Although soil conditions and experience can determine
the speed of the installation, in the example here, the pipe was installed in under 60 seconds. Once the pipe is installed,
you can glue on to the pipe or use the installed pipe as a sleeve for wires. If more sleeves are needed simply repeat the
steps and install as many pipe as needed.
