1. EP cut-grooves are connected with Shurjoint XH-1000 or XH-70EP couplings only.  Do not roll groove pipe, which can damage the coating or lining and or create flared pipe ends.
2. Always use plain-end square cut pipe.  Do not use beveled end pipe.
3. Always use an EP gasket with a XH-1000 or XH-70EP coupling.  Do not use a standard gasket.
