The system is the solution...
The best way to permanently seal any cylindrical object, of any size, passing through any type
of concrete barrier is to use Link-Seal® modular seals. From ductle iron to pre-stressed concrete to
metal or plastic pipe, conduit or cables - whatever your application - Link-Seal® modular seals will
effect a hydrostatic seal capable of holding 20 psig (40 feet of head) between the pipe and barrier
through which it passes.

Sizing Procedure - Method 1
Link-Seal® Modular Seals may be sized by using one of three methods.
Method 1 - Use the charts provided (Pages 7, 8 & 9) for standard pipe sizes and types.
Method 2 - Use Link-Seal® modular seal calculation method to determine the best size
Link-Seal® modular seal for non-standard pipe sizes.
Method 3 - Use Link-Seal® modular seal comparison method if calculations in method two
results in fewer than 10 links per application.

Method 1 - Link-Seal® Modular Seal Sizing System Example:

Pipe Type = SDR-35 Gravity Sewer Pipe
(If your pipe type and size matches with standard pipe charts.)
Nominal Diameter = 12”
Actual O.D. = 12.50”
1. From the following seven charts (pages 7, 8 & 9), find the one Sleeve = Non-metallic Century-Line® (CS) Sleeve
that applies to your pipe type and locate correct pipe size Information Obtained From Chart Below
(Nominal Diameter & Actual Outside Diameter). Verify that your Link-Seal Size Number: LS-475
pipe O.D. matches the actual outside diameter shown on the (Determined from “Link-Seal® Size” Column)
chart. Links per Seal: 17
2. Determine the type of wall opening to be used: Century-Line® (Determined from “Links Per Seal” Column)
(CS Model Sleeve), WS Steel Sleeve or Core Drilled Hole. Information Obtained from Charts on Page 5
Link-Seal® Model Number = C
3. Begin at column heading “Pipe Size - Nominal”. Read across to

The 2” (50.8mm) water stop collar not only anchors the sleeve in posi-
tion but creates a 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 expan-
sion joint, adjusting (up to 1/2” - 12.7mm) 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 Nailer End Cap
end caps assure that the sleeve holds its circular configura-
tion 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 Water Stop Collar
neither rust, corrode or degrade. Low-tempera-
ture properties are such that they may be
installed under any weather conditions suitable for Reinforcing Ribs
pouring concrete. High temperature application limit is
150º F. (66º C.). The sleeve is molded with a texture on

the outside surface to assure a better bond than most plastic to
concrete interfaces.

Sealing An Oversize Annulus
The Double Row Method
Intermediate Sleeve
Sometimes the wall opening represents a differential
up to five pipe sizes larger than the carrier pipe itself.
This creates an annular space that is larger than the
expanded thickness of a single Link-Seal® modular seal
assembly. A typical example is a flanged spool piece or
an existing opening where piping has been removed to
make way for a new installation. As a result it is neces-
sary to use an intermediate sleeve and another belt of
Link-Seal® modular seals.
Key design considerations when sizing an intermediate
wall sleeve are:
A. The intermediate sleeve should be sized correctly to
accommodate both belts of Link-Seal® modular seals.
B. Be sure to support the actual carrier pipe properly.
Neither belt of links should be responsible for support-
ing the carrier pipe.
C. Let economics guide your selection when sizing Link-
Seal modular seals. However do not undersize, refer to
adjacent example or call PSI for sizing assistance
1-800-423-2410 Typical Application
Wall Opening = 40” Cored Hole
Carrier Pipe = 30” API Type (30.00” O.D.)
This is a differential of five pipe sizes
(32, 34, 36, 38, 40)

Solution:
Use an inner belt of LS-500
and an outer belt of LS-575.

Your intermediate sleeve must be three pipe sizes

larger than the 30” carrier pipe. A 36” pipe with a 3/8”
wall would be an excellent choice. Checking the Link-
Seal® modular seal sizing chart on page 8 indicates a
30 x 36 annulus requires 26 links of LS-500. The outer
annulus of 36 x 40 will require 38 links of LS-575.
