prior written consent of Nestor Cables Ltd. The information is believed to be correct at the time of issue. Nestor Cables Ltd. reserves the right

  In order to disconnect the microduct from the connector, make sure that the pressure has 

been completely eliminated from the system before any operation. 

  First, remove the locking clip. If it is the first time the locking clip is removed, a small part of 

it will be broken to identify that it is removed. 

  To disconnect the microduct, push the collet in the direction of the connector body and pull 

the microduct outwards while keeping the collet pushed against the connector body. 

  Never press collets towards the body unless you need to separate the microducts from the 

connector in an unpressurized line. 

Product reuse 

  Nestor Optimus DB Reducers can be reused after checking that they are not damaged and 

correctly working. 

 

Even if the connector reuse is possible, it’s only recommended in case of maintenance. The 
microduct network should never be built by reused connectors. 

  In case of connector reuse, the operator must verify reused components and carefully check 

the correct functioning of the whole system. 

  In the case of reuse of a microduct, the part previously inserted into the connector must be 

cut back and the whole line has to be re-verified. 

  It is necessary to follow all the instructions as a precaution, in the same way as for the first-

time installation. 

Lubricants 

  In  case  of  use  with  lubricants,  it  is  the  end  user  or  customer  responsibility  to  check  the 

chemical compatibility of the fluid with the construction materials of the connector. 

  Please  contact  our  technical  department  if  you  would  like  to  receive  more  information 

regarding suggested lubricants. 

Modifications 

  Do  not  disassemble  or  modify  the  individual  products  as  this  may  cause  product 

malfunctions, leaks or failure. 

  In  any  case  the  tampering,  modification  or  dismantling  of  the  products  invalidates  the 

guarantee.
