FROM DRY TO WET
If you wish to replace your conventional (dry) vacuum to an Automatik system, please follow the
instructions below.
• The Automatik system must be installed near the sanitary sewer. If your previous unit was
placed at one end of the building, but the sewer is at the other end, the unit must be reinstalled
at a closer range of the main drain and the pipeline must change its direction as well
(Figure E).
This prevents unwanted dust to cling onto the pipe which eventually clogs the duct.
• The pipes leading upwards must be slightly higher than the main pipeline to prevent liquids
from flowing back down
(Figure C).
• If short elbows were used to mount the pipeline, these must be taken off. The minimum
cornering pipe must be at least a medium elbow, but a 45
o
pipe is recommended for all corners
for an optimal efficiency.
• The inclination of the main pipeline must tilt a little more than an ordinary vacuum to facilitate
the flow of the liquids (refer to previous page).
• Do not forget to replace the inlet with a p-trap to prevent water backflow.
