Mould and fasten the connection pipes so that no irregular strains at entries or loosening of
threaded connections occur.

Use pipe sealant sparingly and only on male threads. A non-hardening sealant is strongly
recommended.

Check the absence of leakages from pneumatic connections. If necessary, tighten the nuts of the
pipe-fittings.
