•
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.
