    Inspection Access Procedure

  • Locate and mark the insulation jacket where the test is required.
  • Use either tin snips or a hole saw to penetrate the insulation.
  • Remove the final layer of insulation in the safest and most convenient manner (using your hand or knife) to expose the substrate for electronic and visual inspection.
  • After inspection, re-insert the insulation or replace with a high density material.
  • Insert the Sleeve. (Caulk around the sleeve for cold applications is recommended.)
  • Secure the Locking Ring and Lanyard (if applicable).
  • Insert the Plug Cap to affect a seal.
