Installing DMP-3 Compound with All Fixtures
1. Be sure the fixture and transducers are installed on the pipe as
described in the previous sections of this chapter.
2. Remove the fixture and transducers, but be sure to mark the
approximate area of installation.
3. Remove any loose paint or rust with a file or emery cloth, as
shown in Figure 3-29a below. If the finish is mirror-smooth,
roughen the surface.

shown in Figure 3-29b above.
5. Place a piece of the DMP-3 material on top of the pipe (Figure

(see Figure 3-30b below).
