Victaulic® kits (see appendix fig. 14.2)
Victaulic® kits consist of 2 coupling connections supplied with EPDM gaskets on the inside and 2 connection
pipes.
For the installation of the kit follow the steps below:
• loosen the coupling connection and extract the gasket.
• fit the gasket between the screwed water connection of the condenser and the connection pipe, only after
you have verified the cleanliness of surfaces (it is useful to wet the gasket with water or lubricant, unless it is
incompatible with the gasket material); make sure the joint between the two pipes lies at the centre of the
gasket.
• tighten the coupling after you have verified the correct position of the gasket in order to avoid leakage.
