Century-Line®
Pipe Penetration Sleeves
by PSI / Thunderline /
Link-Seal®

Preparing walls and floors
for pipe, tube or conduit penetrations.


Century-Line® Pipe Penetration
Sleeves are used to create circular sleeved holes in
concrete poured barriers including walls, floors, ceilings,
structural supports and tank footings. Molded from
non-conductive, high impact resistant HDPE, Century-Line®
sleeves are lightweight and easily installed by one construction
worker. They are available in 16 diameters ranging from 2" to
25" and shipped from stock in any desired length.

The System is the Solution.
Century-Line® sleeves are engineered to mate with Link-Seal®
modular mechanical seals for a lifetime of leak-proof
performance.
PSI / Thunderline / Link-Seal®
is your one-stop source for everything you need to effectively
seal the annular space between pipes and concrete barriers
through which they pass.
See
our charts for Century-Line® sleeve model numbers for
standard size pipe along with corresponding Link-Seal® modular
seal model numbers.

Century-Line
Sleeve Features
- 16 sizes, 2" to 25" in
diameter.
In the event of a field or engineering change, sleeves may be
cut shorter at the job site using ordinary hand tools. Standard
sleeves are 16" (40.6 mm) in length. Longer length models may
also be quickly fabricated as a custom ordered item.
- 1/8 the weight of steel.
Century-Line sleeves are light enough for one worker to install
with-out a crane, hoist or helper which reduces installation
time and costs. Century-Line sleeves are easy to stock and store
and far less expensive to ship, when compared to steel sleeves.
- Resists water migration.
The 2" (50.8 mm) water stop collar not only anchors the sleeve
in position, but creates a long tortuous path against the
migration of water around the outside of the sleeve.
- Adjusts to wall thickness.
Century-Line sleeves' unique hollow water stop collar acts like
an expansion joint, adjusting (up to 1/2" - 12.7 mm) to the
thickness of the wall. This compressive force reacts against the
forms like a spring, creating a prevailing tension which
maintains proper sleeve location within the form.
- Nailer end caps position
sleeve precisely in form.
Specially designed end caps provide an ideal method for
attaching Century-Line sleeves to the concrete forms. The end
caps assure that the sleeve holds its circular configuration
during the pour. In addition to keeping out wet concrete, they
also prevent dirt from entering the sleeve during backfill
operations or the interim construction period.
- Tough, high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) construction.
High impact-resistant HDPE also provides excellent resistance to
acids, alkalis and other organic solvents. Ideal for cathodic
protection systems, these non-conductive sleeves will neither
rust, corrode or degrade. Low-temperature properties are such
that they may be installed under any weather conditions suitable
for pouring concrete. High-temperature application limit is
150°F (66° C). The sleeve is molded with a texture on the
outside surface to assure a better bond, than most other
plastics, to concrete interfaces.

Installation -
Century-Line® Sleeves
Century-Line® Sleeves are
thermoplastic wall or floor pipe penetration sleeves. One person
working alone can usually install a Century-Line® Sleeve
regardless of the size.
Always wear
safety equipment when installing or using Century-Line® Sleeves
or Link-Seal® Modular Seals.

 |
 |
|
1. Measure
the center line to position Century-Line® Sleeve end cap. |
2. Nail one
of the end caps at the marked center line. |
3. Place the
Century-Line® Sleeve on the end cap. The sleeve and end caps total
length should be one-fourth longer than the width of the wall. Cut
with a hand or power saw. |
 |
 |
 |
|
4. Place
second end cap on sleeve. Check to determine that the cap is
properly inserted. |
5. For
additional stability, it's necessary to secure the sleeve with wire
to the rebar. Inset the other end cap firmly and check that second
end cap is positioned correctly and close the form. |
6. After the
concrete is poured and cured, remove end caps with screw driver or
crow bar. End caps may be replaced to protect sleeve until pipe
penetration is made. |
Alternative
Technique Using Threaded Rod
 |
 |
 |
|
After nailing end cap to
form, drive threaded rod* through the end plate and form, and thread
a nut* on other side. Remember to measure threaded rod to match
length of sleeve. |
Place sleeve over end cap
nailed to the form. |
Place second cap on the
sleeve. Use a block of wood* and wing nut* to tighten unit in
place. Make certain sleeve is plumb. |

Centering
Century-Line
| To insure
minimum water migration, center the water stop in wall by cutting
equal lengths from each end of the sleeve, except as noted below.

Installation Notes:
- Example: To convert 16" to 12",
cut 2" off each end.
- Endcaps leave 1/2" depression in
face of concrete.
- On sleeves under 12" length,
install Link-Seal® modular seal on the "long side" of the
waterstop.
(a) For Link-Seal® modular seals models LS-200, LS-275, LS-300,
LS-315, LS-340 and LS-360, install with pressure plates flush
with outer edge of the sleeve.
(b) For Link-Seal® modular seals models LS-325, LS-400, LS-410,
LS-425 and LS-475, install with pressure plates partially
inserted into the sleeve. When tightened, the pressure plates
will "pull" into the sleeve.
(c) For Link-Seal® modular seals models LS-500, LS-525, LS-575
and LS-600, the minimum sleeve length is 10". Follow the
instructions in Step 3 above.
