Cast-A-Seal 402/402F

The Cast-A-Seal 402/402F is a simple cast-in pipe-to-manhole connector that offers a watertight flexible connector that is cast into the structure when the concrete is poured. The key lock is integrally cast-in during the production process providing a secure seal for storm water and sanitary collection systems.

How It Works

  • The connector is folded into the casting position.
  • It is placed on the reusable mandrel and then placed on the form.
  • After curing, the mandrel is removed.
  • The connector is then simply unfolded at the job site.
  • Take-up clamps made from series 304 stainless steel with quick adjusting screws secure the connector to the pipe.

Why It's Better

  • Durable and reusable mandrel forms.
  • Integrally cast into the structure at time of casting.
  • Contractor can backfill immediately after pipe insertion.
  • The 4” connector is available in either open or closed end face.
  • Contractor can save time and money by backfilling immediately.

A flexible pipe-to-structure connector shall be employed in the connection of the sanitary sewer pipe to precast structures. The connector shall be CAST-A SEAL® 402/402F as manufactured by Press-Seal Corporation, Fort Wayne, Indiana, or approved equal. The connector shall be the sole element relied on to assure a flexible, watertight seal of the pipe to the precast structure. The connector shall consist of a rubber gasket and an external take-up clamp.

The rubber gasket element shall be constructed solely of synthetic or natural rubber, and shall meet or exceed the physical property requirements of ASTM C 923.

The external take-up clamp shall be constructed of Series 300 non-magnetic stainless steel and shall utilize no welds in its construction. The clamp shall be installed by torquing the adjusting screw using a torque-setting wrench available from the connector manufacturer.

Selection of the proper size connector for the structure and pipe requirement, and installation thereof, shall be in strict conformance with the recommendations of the connector manufacturer. Any dead end pipe stubs installed in connectors shall be restrained from movement per ASTM C 923.

The finished connection shall provide sealing to 13 psi (minimum) and shall accommodate deflection of the pipe to 7 degrees (minimum) without loss of seal.

Vacuum testing shall be conducted in strict conformance with ASTM C 1244 prior to backfill. Other testing shall be conducted in strict conformance with the requirements of the connector manufacturer.

  1. Attach mandrel to outside form wall.
  2. Invert gasket into casting position.
  3. Place gasket and mandrel in form and pour.
  4. Strip form and mandrel, leaving gasket in place.
  5. Invert gasket to outside of tank, insert pipe and tighten take-up clamp.
