Auto Coil Instructions

WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR PALLET OF AUTO COIL PIPE –

  1. Read the label located on the black stretch wrap and confirm the correct size of pipe has been received.
  2. Inspect the black outer wrap for any tears that may indicate pipe damage. If damage is present, note it on the Bill of Lading.
  3. Locate the supplied cutting tool taped to the outside of the silo.
  4. Carefully cut the black stretch wrap using the supplied cutting tool, beginning at the top of the silo. Be careful not to cut the clear stretch wrap around the individual coils.
  5. Cut enough of the black outer stretch wrap to expose the number of coils needed.
  6. Remove the needed coils.
  7. Fold loose black stretch wrap over remaining coils on pallet until needed.
     

WHEN HANDLING INDIVIDUAL COILS –

  1. Do not remove the clear stretch wrap as it maintains the coil integrity of individual coils.
  2. Unroll the coil by pulling the pipe end from the inside center of the coil, leaving the clear outer stretch wrap in place.
  3. If unrolling by hand, unroll pipe in the direction the ID pipe end is pointing.
  4. If using uncoiling equipment, spools or cages, modification of the equipment may be necessary to allow for uncoiling from the center of the coil rather than the OD.
  5. Return any unused pipe to the ID of the coil by tucking pipe back into the clear stretch wrap for storage.
