1.3 Special Hazards
• It must be ensured that the
fi
tting is resistant for the
media and temperatures that will be used. The resis-
tance of the
fi
tting with aggressive media depends in
individual cases on many variables (such as the tem-
perature, concentration ratio of the medium, material,
environment, tube material etc.). The person ordering
the
fi
tting is responsible for checking for the speci
fi
c
application. In case of doubt install the
fi
tting on a trial
basis.
• Always comply with the safety data sheets or the safety
requirements for the media you are using!
• Before removing the
fi
tting it must be ensured that the-
re is no more medium in the
fl
exible tube/pipe system
and the pressure has completely dissipated. Exercise
caution for toxic, corrosive or hot media residue
fl
owing
out of the line or remaining in dead spaces.
1.4 General Safety Instructions
• The
fi
tting must be properly connected to the
fl
exible
tube/pipe system.
• Before installing the
fi
tting make certain that external
mechanical effects such as thrust and bending forces
are not acting on the
fl
exible tube/pipe system.
• Installation, commissioning, operation, installation,
maintenance, troubleshooting and disassembly must
only be performed by quali
fi
ed specialists with due con-
sideration of accident prevention regulations. Person-
nel must be capable based on their technical training
and experience of performing assembly tasks, follo-
wing technical speci
fi
cations and recognizing possible
dangers.
• Personnel with de
fi
cient knowledge must be trained
and instructed.
• Areas of responsibility and responsibilities must be pre-
cisely regulated and personnel must be monitored.
These safety instructions do not take into consideration
any:
• Coincidences and events that could occur at the cus-
tomer location during assembly, operation and mainte-
nance.
• Local safety requirements, for which the operating
company is responsible to ensure compliance, inclu-
ding assembly personnel who are used.
1.5 Designated Use
• The
fi
tting must only be operated within the permitted
usage ranges for pressure and temperature.
• Only the operating media named in the documentation
are permitted to
fl
ow through the
fi
tting.
• The
fi
tting must only be operated if it is in
fl
awless tech-
nical condition.
• The
fi
tting must not be operated if it is in partially as-
sembled condition.
• If other operating modes are not named in the docu-
mentation, they must be approved with the manufac-
turer.
1.6 Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse
• Any usage other than designated use.
• Do not make any modi
fi
cations to the product by your-
self!
• Components should only be retro
fi
tted after consulta-
tion with the manufacturer.
