Port plugs are tightened to a torque of 12.5 inch-pounds. Plugs in the base, or bottom, of the CMT should be torqued sequentially and incrementally to ensure even expansion. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Step 18) Attach the Guide Point Port (#105856)<\/h2>\n
Slide the Guide Point Port Assembly (Figure 24) over the end of the CMT tubing and secure it to the tubing with the gear clamp (Figure 25). Use a torque tool and drive socket extension to tighten the gear clamp to a torque of 12.5 inch-pounds. The end of the Guide Point Port Assembly is tapered to prevent the bottom of the CMT tubing from getting snagged on a rock ledge or casing joints as it is being inserted into a borehole. The end of the Guide Point Port Assembly also has threading (3\/8″ \u2013 16 UNC) to connect a weight, if desired. With the gear clamp torqued to 12.5 inch-pounds, the Guide Point Port Assembly can support up to 20 lbs of additional weight (optional). <\/p>\n

Step 19) Install an Anchor<\/h2>\n
If desired, an anchor (3.75″ diameter) can be attached to the Guide Point Port using a hex bolt (Figure 26). An anchor is used during installations where it is helpful to secure the bottom of the CMT to keep it from moving during well construction. Once the tubing has been inserted, use sand placed on top of the anchor to secure the well. This will prevent it from being pulled up as drive casing or augers are withdrawn from the borehole. Holes have been drilled in the anchor to allow water in the borehole to pass through the anchor when the CMT well is inserted. <\/p>\n
