Branch circuits connection
1)
With the manifold mounted on the brackets, prepare the pipe for
the outlets and cut it to size for connecting to the fitting. Both the
shut-off and balancing valves are equipped with DECA fitting for
attaching to the geothermal pipe.
Helpful suggestions for installation
Pipe preparation.
Pipe connection
Cut pipe square
Do not cut at an
angle
Remove burrs from
the outer surface
Loosen the locking
nut
of
the
DECA
fitting without taking it
Insert the pipe to the
end stop
Snugly
tighten
the
locking nut
Do not disassemble the fitting
and then put the elements on the
pipe.
3)
In all three situations, simply position the seal and fully tighten
the nut on the manifold outlet.
2)
To make it easier to insert the pipe into the DECA fitting,
uncouple the shut-off/balancing valve from the manifold, couple
the pipe to the fitting and then reconnect the valve to the
manifold,
ensuring
that
the
sealing
gasket
is
correctly
positioned.
3)
Stick the circuit label beside the appropriate outlet. This can be
very useful for system maintenance or leakages.
4)
Repeat the above steps for all the pipes, paying attention to the
bending of the pipes in the area under the manifolds.
