Use of a blower in conjunction with back filling accelerates temperature stabilization Always back fill immediately unless the jobsite condition makes it impossible 7 To fully minimize the effects of refraction it is advisable to use a blower after the pipe run exceeds 15 m 50 ft Operate the blower at a speed that minimizes the effects of refraction As the pipe length increases increase the speed of the blower 8 When using a blower make sure it is taking in fresh air through the intake On the discharge end the nozzle should be angled to bounce the air off the side of the pipe thereby creating a spiral or corkscrew effect Nozzle 9 If possible mount the nozzle on the side of the pipe or in the invert Avoid attaching the nozzle at the top of the pipe unless there is no other choice as this will push the warmer gas through the pipe If a strong wind is blowing down the pipe and fighting the blower it may not be needed 10 In large diameter pipe 45 cm 18 inches and larger it is better to position the blower nozzle off the invert below the laminar surface of the gas If this is insufficient three alternatives are possible Use two electric blowers a Homelite Model III B or equivalent gas driven blower or a short blast of air from an air compressor to clean out the line 68 DG711 and DG511 Pipe Laser User Guide 11 Ifthe beam still can not be controlled have your backhoe excavate five buc
