Question Thread waste pipe into protective sleeve

[Joe Hogan]

Building an extension for the Sanicon system. Purchased a 20’ extension and a protection sleeve. Threading the sleeve onto the Sanicon pipe is a real challenge.

Any one find an easy way to do this?

Not sure I would say easy but found it less difficult with the protective sleeve being somewhat wet. I worked a section at a time and held in place with zip ties until sleeve was fully on, fingers still sore

Zip ties to secure while in process, great idea!

There is no easy way to do this..I have tried many methods to make it easier. Securing with zipties while working is the best option.

Off topic slightly! I have a project that I need to sleeve some hoses together! Could you post a picture or two so I can inspect the sleeve construction?

There is a quite simple way to do this, simply get on a balcony, deck or perhaps the top of a coach. Introduce the sanicon hose into the sleeve and drop one end of the sleeve off the deck. This is easiest if one person holds the sleeve while another continues to feed the sanicon hose into the sleeve and allow gravity to feed the hose into the sleeve, but I did it by myself no problem. Three to four minutes max!
