3. Installing TermiPore After Construction On Periphery Of An Existing Building

4. Installation On Periphery Of The Building IMPORTANT If the property is already infested with termites, treat the property properly before installing TermiPore on its periphery. TermiPore will be used for future injections and preventions. But the infestation will need to be treated as required.

5. Dig a trench about 12 inches deep and 4-6 inches wide along the periphery of the building or compound wall Installation On Periphery Of The Building

6. 2) Pour about 1 inch of gravel and sand to cover the trench soil Installation On Periphery Of The Building

7. 3) Lay the pipe on this bed of sand. Ensure you give a new inlet for injecting - every 25 meters or so Installation On Periphery Of The Building

8. Connect the ends of TermiPore pipe to plain flexible pipe using an elbow or jointer. Test the installation with water, using the same pump that you will use to inject the termiticide – ensure that you see water drops everywhere Installation On Periphery Of The Building

9. Make changes as needed to the distance between two inlets. This will depend on the pump used. However the thumb rule of one inlet every 25 meters is suitable for most pumps that give at least 1 Kg pressure Inject the termiticide in required quantity – 5 ltr / linear meter as per pre construction rules of 2.5 ltr / linear meter as per post construction standards Close the inlet and outlet with end plugs Installation On Periphery Of The Building

10. Cover the Pipe with coarse sand and then again gravel on top of it Installation On Periphery Of The Building

11. Finally cover the entire trench again with the soil so conceal the installation Fix the junction box on the floor or wall. You can also encase the exposed flexible pipes with hard PVC plumbing pipes Installation On Periphery Of The Building

12. Making the trench, followed by laying gravel and sand – while keeping TermiPore kit handy Installation On Periphery Of The Building

13. Laying TermiPore pipe on the gravel and sand bed Installation On Periphery Of The Building

14. Testing after laying the pipe Installation On Periphery Of The Building

15. Injecting termiticide – 125 ltr in 10 minutes, at 4 PSI in 25 mtr length of TermiPore pipe After that covering the pipes with gravel and sand Installation On Periphery Of The Building

16. Box Fitting Finally again covered with soil Installation On Periphery Of The Building

17. Critical Points : For All Types Of Installation

18. Critical Points To Remember TermiPore pipes are designed for optimum flow rate upto 30 mtr . So ensure inlet box is placed every 25 to 40 meter of length of TermiPore. (there will be some difference depending on soil and site) Ensure pipe does not bend and lock at time of installation Ensure coarse sand is put above and below the pipe, Use cloth / geotex/ pebbles if sand is not available Do not bring the reticulation pipe above ground. Use plain pipe where needed Always test and cover pipe before leaving the site Flush with 3-5 litres of clean water after injecting termiticide Try to provide hard PVC pipe casing to any exposed flexible pipe

19. Critical Points To Remember TermiPore Pipe is sure to last for many years but it is essential that the injecting outlets also last that long. Hence always use good quality branded junction boxes and if possible use GI or Brass nipples, instead of a plain plastic inlet/outlet pipes Before leaving site, close all pipe openings with end plugs so no insect or dust enters the pipes.

21. Injecting Termiticide In TermiPore

22. Injecting Termiticide In TermiPore Injecting termiticide is very easy and fast Pressure required is approximately 1 Kg/cm2 or 1 Bar You can use a 0.5 HP or 1 HP pump Or a portable battery-operated pesticide sprayer

23. Prepare the required quantity of termiticide in a container – calculate the required quantity for each injection point The quantity and dilution are to be as per post construction standards As per IS 6313, y ou can consider approximately 2.25 ltr per running meter of TermiPore in case of post construction treatment. In some countries it is 5 ltr pe r mtr Injecting Termiticide In TermiPore

24. S tep-by-step Description O f I njection P rocess Step 1: Open the junction box and ensure that the outlet pipe or nipples are in good shape. If they are cracked or disintegrated, replace them before injecting termiticide Step 2: Connect any one of the pipes to the jointer/nipple of the pump Step 3: Note the level of termiticide in the container and start the pump / sprayer .

25. S tep-by-step Description O f I njection P rocess Step 4 : You will see the level of termiticide going down in the container. Close this outlet now with a plug, so pressure can develop in TermiPore Pipe Step 5: If the length of the pipe from that particular injection point is less than 100 feet, then in a few minutes, you should see the termiticide come out from the other end of the pipe

26. Step 6 : Keep injecting till the calculated quantity is injected. The termiticide will be evenly distributed throughout the length of the TermiPore system. This process should take about 15 to 20 minutes per room if a small size pump is used. It will be faster if a bigger pump is used. Step 7 : After the entire quantity is injected, ALWAYS flush with 3-5 litres of clean soft / RO water to remove any hard water / suspension particles that have a chance of blocking the pipe due to calcification S tep-by-step Description O f I njection P rocess

27. NOTE: In case the length of the TermiPore pipe installed in that particular inlet box is longer than recommended, you might not see the termiticide come out at the other end In such cases, once half the calculated quantity of termiticide is injected, simply switch off the pump and disconnect from the first pipe. Then reconnect it to the second pipe, so the other half of the quantity is injected through this second inlet This way too the termiticide will be evenly distributed throughout the length of the TermiPore System.

28. Frequently Asked Questions TermiPore FAQ

29. Which option is better for installation – in soil or over PCC? Both installations work well If the customer has planned in advance; it is always better to install in soil AFTER doing soil treatment as per recommended standards Even then many pest control services install over PCC since the need is to protect the building from ground up, rather than just treat the soil Anti-termite Reticulation System Frequently asked q uestions

30. How much quantity of termipore is needed per 1000 sq ft / 100 sq mtr ? The quantity will vary from site to site and layout to layout. However as a thumb rule : In soil installation, consider 1 roll pf 125 meter sufficient for 1000 sq ft / 100 sq mtr Over PCC under tiles, please 1 roll pf 125 meter sufficient for 1500 sq ft / 150 sq mtr In installation around the periphery please measure the periphery running / linear meters to get the required quantity Anti-termite Reticulation System Frequently asked q uestions

31. Is the grid type layout with pipes in between better or is it better to just install along the borders? If installing in soil, it is better to go for a 4 x 4 feet grid network since that will properly treat the soil multiple times. If installed over PCC this may not be needed and just along the border maybe enough. But it will still help if you install in between, because micro holes in the slab / pcc or near columns may still allow termites through the floor. Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

32. Can we install TermiPore only at ground level or even on other floors? Termites can creep to higher floors through the smallest micro hole in the columns Termites can also creep in via electrical wiring and sewage line and micro cracks in the floor Furthermore, various other materials used in plumbing, civil, electrical, etc. may contain termites even at the time of construction Termites can also come through vegetation in the house, surrounding trees, etc. Experience of PCOs has shown that often termite treatments need to be done on higher floors TermiPore is a ready to use piping system for such cases, where you do not need to drill and inject Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

33. What is the difference in various sizes of TermiPore ? Different markets prefer different sizes depending on where the pipe is laid – in soil or over PCC 14 mm and 17 mm are generally preferred over PCC. While the 17 mm and 19 mm sizes are preferred where installation is to be done in the soil Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

34. How much termiticide do we need to inject after installing TermiPore? The amount of termiticide, the frequency and the type of termiticide is to be injected as per construction standard (for example IS 6313 in India or AS 3660.1 in Australia) or as per the construction standards or as recommended by the termiticide manufacturer In many standards, it is recommended that you use 5 ltr / sq mtr of horizontal area in pre construction and 2.25 ltr to 5 ltr / running meter in post construction installation Anti termite reticulation system is a delivery method and does not change the termiticide, dilution, quantity or frequency of use Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

35. If we find that the injection is taking time after a few years, what to do? In some rare cases, due to use of hard water or large suspension particles, you may find that injection takes time. To solve this, increase the pump pressure and you will find the termticide flowing as expected You can also use mild acid diluted with water and inject it in the pipe and keep it for 2-3 days to remove the calcification. This will then open up all pores and make the pipe as good as new (The acid is to be very mild to not damage the surrounding of the pipe, hence the recommended time to keep it in the pipe is long) Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

36. Will TermiPore work with / get blocked if we use EC or SC? TermiPore is tested with suspension concentrate and emulsion concentrate termiticides and does not get blocked with either of them. However proper mixing of SC with pump, till it is a white liquid without any suspension particles visible, is necessary when using SC Ensure that clean soft low TDS water is used to dilute the termiticide and also used for flushing the pipes clean immediately after the injection In case hard water is used in dilution, it may block the pipe after a few years. You can easily open the holes without damaging TermiPore material, by injecting and flushing it with diluted acid Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

37. Which pump is to be used for injecting termiticides in TermiPore ? A 1 HP Monobloc pump with a tee / release valve to control the pressure and quantity of termiticide to inject, is suitable for a wide range of installations You can use a battery-operated sprayer as well You can view videos of termiticide injection on www.YouTube.com/termipore Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

38. What is the pressure required to inject the termiticide ? TermiPore works between 0.5 to 1.5 bar – so an average of 1.0 bar will be a good enough pressure to inject The lower the pressure, the further will the termiticide go, but it will take that much longer to inject the quantity Hence, you can start at 0.5 bar and then when termiticide comes out the other end, plug it and increase pressure as required The pipe has holes all around so there is no possibility of bursting or high pressure developing in the system to damage the joints Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

39. How long will it take to inject 100 liters termiticide? Every injection point should take about 15 to 20 minutes to inject the required quantity You can refer to the chart as a reference, but it is provided to give only an estimate for the time taken to inject However, there will be substantial difference in time based on soil (sandy, loamy, black, etc.), size used, pressure and pump used, distance between inlets, etc. Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

40. What is the life of these pipes? The pipe should last around 30-50 years depending on soil condition TermiPore pipe was tested in an accelerated weathering test chamber. It had only 10% reduction in its tensile strength and elongation, after prolonged testing in that chamber. We can safely say it will last long enough once concealed underground However, the inlet pipes at the junction box will also need to last that long, hence we recommend using brass nipples / couplings as inlets Frequently asked q uestions Anti-termite Reticulation System

41. Don’ts Do not allow direct contact between wet cement and TermiPore P ipe Do not bring TermiPore Pipe all the way to the injection point in the junction box; use a plain plastic pipe or metal jointers for that Do not leave the pipe exposed or its ends open exposed after installing / injecting Do not bend or fix so tight that it squeezes the pipe Here is a quick glance at Installation D os and Don’ts: Dos Always cover the pipe with sand – both above and below it Plan an injection point at every 25 -40 meters of TermiPore Pipe Use a pump of 1hp/0.5 kg/cm 2 to inject termiticide. Always inject and test before covering the pipe and leaving the site Always flush the pipe with clean soft water / RO water after injecting termiticide and close the pipe with plug
