H-STRIP PROCEDUREOnce the conduit is in place, the H-strip is installed rst before the T-strip. Do not apply extruded strips over the belled end of the conduit ( g. 3).Step 1:Spread the conduit and insert the H-strip into position at one end. Then apply hand pressure along the « H » until it locks. That operation should be done at every foot for full insertion ( g. 5).Step 2:When the section is in place, clasp the conduit on either side of the H-strip and squeeze it into the « H » until it locks. That operation should be done at every foot for full insertion ( g. 5).Note:On the spigot end of the conduit, the H-strip may be installed in a different manner, if desired.The H-strip can be slid down the split until it butts the H-strip previously installed. Then trim to the correct length. The strip is then locked into place by applying a clamping force to the conduit and forcing the conduit edges into the H-strip as before. For better seal, duct tape can be applied at the butt-joint of the H-strip ( g. 6 and g. 7).                           
