Individual parts and mounting:
Please pay attention to the following when mounting the drinker!
• For mounting, the rules and regulations according to DIN 1988 / DIN EN 1717
(protection of potable water) have to be respected.
• When using well water pay attention that the water is clean and free of floating
particles otherwise the functioning of the valves is not guaranteed. For impure
water add a corresponding filter unit (sediment filter, 5-20µ / iron filter / activated
carbon filter).
• The valve is suitable for a water pipe pressure of maximum 5 bar.
• If the water pressure is more than 5 bar and to avoid dysfunction it may be useful
to mount a pressure-relief valve.
• The ideal setting of a pressure-relief valve is at 3 bar.
• The “low pressure” valve is suitable for 0,4 - 1,0 bar (SB 2 N / SB 2 H N).
• For pipe mounting use the Lister fixing attachments.
• Only use little tightening tape for the thread of the connection pipe (e.g. Loctite
55). Do not use manila!. Use little tightening tape for the blind plugs opposite the
desired water connection (e.g. Loctite 55). Do not use manila!
• When connecting pipes to the drinkers pay attention to cleanliness (no residues
of metal spill, sand, deposits etc. inside the pipe).
• Blind plug, connection pipe and valve are only to be hand-screwed.
• De-aerate pipe well!
• The stopper has to be sealed.
• Non-heatable drinkers and water pipes have to be protected against frost when
temperatures are low.
• When installing the heating cables with additional pipe heating, the extended
heating section (side without label / name plate) will be twisted around the conduit
(pipe length min. 1m, max. 2m, the remaining 40cm of the cable are not heated).
• Ideal results will be obtained when the installed cable will additionally be fixed
with an adhesive aluminium tape and be insulated.
• A fire-resistant insulation made of mineral wool or foam must be mounted.
• Protect the heating cable against sharp edges, oil and heat.
• Please check the frost protection heating for possible damage before starting the
heating operation.
