Installation Instructions
Installation instructions
A. Cut pipe to length (saw or cut)
B. Deburr pipe ends and check for scratches, impurities and
deformations.
C. Check for proper position of clamping ring on fitting. Slide
pipe through clamp ring to the stop in the fitting. The clamp
ring must be seated on the pipe as shown in Fig. 1.
D. Tighten union nut by hand (it is recommended to apply a
waterproof mark) and then tighten according to the prescri-
bed number of revolutions in table 1.
E. Then check the connection for leak-tightness (take local
regulations for the media used into consideration).
If leaks are found after installation, disconnect the pipe and check
for damages. Then tighten the union nut hand tight and retighten
with the spanner 1/8 to 1/4 turn, since the clamp ring is already in
a clamping position.

Function
The clamp ring sits on two conical holes in the housing
and the union nut (see Fig. 1). The conical hole on the
housing has a smaller angle than that of the union nut.
With this design the tightening of the locking ring results in
deformation of the housing first and then in the union nut.
This prevents the pipe from turning during assembly.
Fig. 2 shows the clamp ring connection after assembly.
When the union nut is tightened as prescribed, the clamp
fitting and pipe are permanently connected.
Notice: Over tightening the union nut may result in leaks or even breakage of the nut!
