Installation Instructions
Contractors—we know you mean business. Ensure your work is as strong as the foundation of your practices by following these three simple steps for installation:
Press-Seal Kwik Seal folded into a heart shape.
- Clean the surface of hole before applying spray adhesive around it.
- Fold gasket into a heart shape and push it into the hole.
- Lubricate the gasket. Lubricate the pipe by beveling the inserted end.
After installation, ensure the lip of the seal is flush with the manhole to prevent the gasket from flipping inward. View our Kwik Seal installation video for even more detail!
