The Results:
Take the cut pipe (sleeve) and slide it on the Sidewalk Sleever. It is important that the Sidewalk Sleever is clean. Dirt on the tool will make extracting the tool difficult.
Place the Sidewalk Sleever just under the concrete and tap in a few inches. This will allow the tool to hold itself off the ground making it easier to install and also easier to remove the tool after installation.
While straddling the trench; use a 16 pound sledge hammer to impact the Sidewalk Sleever under the sidewalk. Continue impacting the tool until the tapered end appears at the other end.
Once the tool and pipe are visible at the other end; simply grab the impacted end of the tool and remove from the installed pipe. If necessary; tap the pointed end of the tool with the hammer to help the sidewalk sleever slide out of the pipe.
You are now done!!
Although soil conditions and experience can determine the speed of the installation; in the example here; the pipe was installed in under 60 seconds. Once the pipe is installed; you can glue on to the pipe and continue running pipe; place a smaller size pipe through the installed pipe or you can use the installed pipe as a sleeve for wires. If more sleeves are needed; just simply repeat the steps and install as many pipes as needed.
